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.

Red Robin

Hubby and I love eating at Red Robin, but only at one particular location in Austin. The other location has good food, but horrible service. We were going to go to our favorite location about 3 weeks ago, only to find that they had gone out of business. We were so disappointed.

Then last week we finally gave in and decided to give the other location another chance. As it turned out, a couple of the waitstaff transferred to that store and we were lucky enough to get one of them as our server. The overall atmosphere still wasn't as good as the other location used to be, but it wasn't as bad as previously.

We are still stunned that they closed our favorite location considering it was always so busy, but apparently it just wasn't profitable enough.

Rack of Lamb

I had my first lamb today at Outback Steakhouse. It was very good. It went great with the green beans off of hubby's plate.

Dim Sum

We decided to extend hubby's birthday celebration and go out to have dim sum today. Curry Squid is my favorite dish. We also had Peking Duck, Coffee Ribs, Chinese Broccoli, Turnip Cakes, Mango Custard, and so many other delicious dishes.

Happy Birthday Hubby

Today is hubby's 47th birthday. He says he only feels 27 (I wish I could say that).

The weather is rainy and gloomy, but we are going to have fun and make the best if it.

There Are No Mistakes In Life

I have always been a believer that everything happens for a reason. Tonight I heard it put another way... There are no mistakes in life. Sometimes things happen and you wonder "why me". Maybe it was to put you back on track, or maybe to expand your social circle, or to teach you something new. Even if you never learn the reason, just remember that it wasn't a mistake.
