Turn on Your Lights

This morning we had a dense fog advisory here in the Austin area.  You could only see about 2 car lengths in front of you, but there were so many people who didn't have their lights on.  Why would you want to drive in the dense fog and not turn on your lights?  I simply don't understand.  You may think they are not needed because you can see, but other people are not able to see you.  It is even worse if you have a car color that is muted such a gray.

Come on people, turn on your lights!!!

Wait or Buy Now?

Two months after my car accident, I have finally been paid for my vehicle. No thanks to the other persons insurance. I ended up turning the claim over to my insurance, State Farm, and they had everything wrapped up in 1 week. One week! I waited on the pest control company's insurance for 7 weeks and they did nothing but drag their feet.

Now we need to decide if we should replace the car now or wait a little while and see if they will offer specials on the car we want. I think it is time to sit down with my pros and cons list. We already know what we want, so that decision is out of the way.

Decisions Decisions

Hubby has been saving aside some money to do whatever he wants with it. Usually he spends it on us, but sometimes he buys items for himself. He came to me the other day and offered me a choice on some items to buy. The choices are..... a new deck box (our current one is breaking), get the windows on his car tinted, or buy me a mini laptop. I said no to the deck box. That is an item for the house and we can buy that from the house account or budget for it later. His car spends the majority of the time in the garage, but he has wanted his windows tinted since he got the car almost 2 years ago. I would love a mini laptop, but it seems selfish to ask him to spend his money on me. I have been in a school slump lately and maybe he is thinking this will pull me out of the slump. I don't know if it will or it won't. What do I do? Should I be selfish and go for the laptop or should I tell him to get his windows tinted. This decision shouldn't be this hard.
