Stacie's Place

*Sponsored Post* My husband and I really enjoy going on roadtrips and now that we are both done with school (for the time being) we have a little more time and flexibility to hit the road and check out new places around us as well as familiar favorites. Before we can hit the road though, there are certain things we always must bring. Some are necessary, others...maybe I not so much but I like to have on hand for those "just in case" moments. 

My first week (er, day) at LDSBC seemed to go well. I only had 1 fail where I had a smear of chocolate on my jacket. Maybe it blended in and nobody noticed (hopefully). Tony wasnt home to check me before I wrecked myself.  Sigh. Luckily in my classes I dont feel like the oldest one. It feels like mostly a good mix. It will be interesting to go to class tonight and see who has still stuck around. Tony and I are sharing a car at the moment. My poor HHR. Tony's poor truck. I feel like I dont have good luck with cars and I have not even had the HHR a year yet! Both of our vehicles are drivable but need work so its best to avoid driving them.

Sometimes I procrastinate things. A lot. Sometimes it works out for the better but occasionally it does not. I've been car hunting for a couple months now (feels like longer) and I thought I had found the perfect car in Colorado. I'd been communicating with the guy quite a bit and one day after work I called him again and he said a lady was interested in the car and was coming up with the money to buy it. I cried and cried. It had been a long day but the car was pretty much perfect (minus electric windows and locks but that's something that can be fixed). I was so disappointed, if only I hadnt procrastinated calling him! Fast forward a few days later and I was at the bank getting a loan but they needed to know the address and name of the person who had the title in their name. I called the guy and got some weird answers so I decided to hold off. It started to feel a little scammish and not as legit as I had thought. Funny how I was so upset because I had procrastinated...
