day one

Shelley (my sister) wrote that it's time to watch "It's a wonderful Life". I'm sad Juergen is going to be gone 10 days (until Dec 13Th). I figure I can watch It's a wonderful life in 14 parts as a Advent calendar of sorts. Each day one part until Juergen returns home! Some of you think I'm crazy because I miss Juergen so much. You do not have our kids...it's a 2 person job!

I know what you mean I always miss Eric when he is gone because it takes us both to take care of things.

He was gone a lot when the girls were little and I felt like a single parent most of the time.

You don't get use to it, you just deal with it.

I always appreciate him more when he gets home.
I'm glad his travels have slowed down. He only has one more trip to go and then we can take a break till Jan.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
