The calm

The house is calm. I don't have a million things to do today. I guess I should go get my hair cut, but I think I'll just enjoy the calm. I've been saying for days (weeks) how tired I am. I have had so much on my plate. We have a family looking at our house on Friday. I'll have to make sure it's very clean by then. But it's important to rest, and gather your strength. So today I'm going to take a break from renovation. I'm going to read a book. Maybe I'll buy some shoes to wear to Nicoles graduation, or take a trip to the garden center (one of my favorite places). I lose all my creativity when I'm tired. I run out of ideas when I'm over run with work.

Maybe stop somewhere for coffee and a chocolate croissant.

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
