Let’s Think About Living

As Cuzzin Judi says, “It’s All About Living.”  She is correct.  She should know.  Judi had a double masectomy and went through chemo this year.  At the moment, she is out somewhere on the ocean on a cruise or she’d have been one of the first ones I’d have called last night. 

I’m not trying to prove nothing to anybody.  I spent a very long time watching other people live and thinking either “someday” but mostly, that I wasn’t meant for joy and couldn’t obtain it.  That’s not saying joy is obtained by “stuff” cause it isn’t.  This isn’t about sticking it to or “showing” anybody nothing, other than me…

I’ve never been one to care about cars.  Something dependable that would get me from Point A to Point B.  HOWEVER…when I’d think about something I’d really like to drive, a bright red Mustang always came to mind. 

I remember years ago Cuzzin Sandra saying “everybody should have a fun car at least once.”  So…this is my Fun Car.  I may drive it til it has 152,000 miles on it (like the minivan had) or I may drive it awhile. 

2008 Torch Red Mustang….less than 2000 miles on it. Pretty sweet ain’t it?  (For those concerned…it was a goood deal or I wouldn’t have gotten it.)

  1. well, look at you and your fun car. Congratulations!!!

  2. Sweet! You’re certainly brave for getting a car like this when you have teenagers, though. :)

  3. Way cool!

  4. Lovely, and in arrest-me red. Please enjoy!

  5. SWEET! Good…no…GREAT for you! You got your groove and a red mustang! You are smokin hot, Cuzin!

  6. Some days you gotta dance, ma’am. You gots to bust loose a little bit every once in a while. (840 is a good place to do that; just set the cruise control at the speed limit and roooooll.) So glad you’re continuing to take care of No. 1 so you can continue to take care of the important others in your busy life.

    Watch out in the S.O.B. lanes, though. The troopers will think you’re in ‘em even if you’re not, because they will be BLINDED by Teh Hawt. Heh.

    (P.S.: I still want a 65 candy-apple red convertible Mustang in which to zoom and ooze coolth, but a listen to Click & Clack has sort of disabused me of that notion. Sigh.)

  7. WoooHoooo! Awesome car, girl! Enjoy your fun car, and keep it away from the teenagers if you can!

  8. My, but that sure is purdy.

  9. Nice, very nice. Sometimes you have to be good to yourself. :)

  10. HOT!

  11. Mustang Sista, do be careful in your fun car. Red looks way faster than those other colors. My fun car was a Honda Prelude. It had a stick shift and could hug those curves at speeds I’d rather not advertise. The color of this little jewel was candy apple red. And boy was it fun!

  12. WOW! SOOO awesome. I’m so far gone, I don’t even know which car I’d pick if I could!

    Looks like when we do lunch next time, we’ll have to do drive-thru.

  13. How bout I come pick you up next time? ‘Taint gonna be no eating in this car! (We’ll see how long that rule lasts)

  14. WHOO HOO U GO GIRL!! YEP I said it once and I still say ‘everyone deserves to have ‘at least’ one FUN car in a life time’. I LUV’D my Camero T-top – silver/white with RED (what is it about RED?)pin stripping down the sides. Can still feel the wind in my hair when I took the T-tops off. Joy and I BOTH had some mighty fine FUN in that car. THE BEST IS YET TO COME CUZ!!

  15. Ahhh! I love it! Sooo jealous. I wanted a red Mustang for my 16th birthday. Enjoy it (and hide the keys from the teenagers)!

  16. All right!! I’ll tell you the same thing my Dad once told me: I’ve got your first ticket, after that you’re on your own.

    So awesome and yes, you do deserve it for as long as you want it. Congrats!

  17. I will have you know…I have never had a speeding ticket! Hee.

  18. What a beautiful car!!! You GO, girl! (Literally!) ;)
