New new new !
New furniture, new car, new new new stuff for Sarah!
I finally have a move date nailed down. Movers are hired, new office space is in stone, and I am soooo excited! June 20 it is!
I have decided that to treat myself for paying off all my credit card debt, and making positive changes in my life, I will have a grage sale to sell most of my furniture, give to the Goodwill what doesnt sell, and buy new stuff in Florida. Im keeping some valuable furniture I have, a piano, antique hutch, and the new bedroom suite I just got about 6 months ago, but other than that...buh bye !
Im giving away lots of sweaters and ski jackets, and that kind of winter stuff I wont be needing alot of..
I've also decided to trade in my 2 SUV's and get a convertible instead.
I have picked out a new haircut and color that I think I will have to get used to, but have the appointment made for next week.
Its amazing how broke I was before, and sad, and miserable, felt hopeless all the time, and now...well..I like my life and am looking forward to each new day!
I still have days where I get sad, of course. I still have days where I get worried about something. Buts it the exception not the rule!

I am so, so happy for you, Sarah!! You sound great.
And convertibles are excellent. Plenty of time to have a "sensible" car when you need the extra space in the future. (why on earth did you need 2 SUVs?!!) I bought my car when I split up with the last but one ex and I was single for the first time in 10 years. Best thing I ever bought.
I gave my convertible some TLC this weekend, burned some new CDs and it's amazing how I can immediately generate some feelgood stuff by going out for a drive in the sunshine with the roof down.

Being over multiple SUV's sounds all good!!
Go for the convertible and burn some rubber for me!!
Since my Mazda died D kindly donated his old Rover diesel *sniff* I've had to go out and buy a cloth cap, pipe and string driving gloves!!
I get sad when I remember my cute little pop up headlights!

You had a Mazda, Eq? MX5? I would never in a million years have seen that revelation coming, although I don't know why. I adore my (non-pop-up-headlights) MX5. I get the same thrill from driving it as I did 4 1/2 years ago when I got it.

Okay, I don't have a convertible and honestly, I've never really wanted one - yea, yea, I know - I'm a strange cookie! LOL. But I do like my car - does that count? (35th anniversary Ford Mustang)
By the way - I LOVE your post. I remember that excitement of WANTING to live and enjoy life. I've slowly been having those feelings back again - but as for you - I am sooo excited FOR you. You sound so great, so positive, and truly happy and excited. I love it!

Yay Sarah! Congratulations! All that sounds so exciting! All the talk about a convertible makes me jealous. No point here, you can only use them for about 3 months out of a year. lol I wish I could go shopping with ya, I love decorating..... with someone elses money of course.
