The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky above could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition
That's what I've been over doing the past week, acquiring things. Specifically:

1 dress, black, for the wedding in May
1 necklace, silver, to wear with the dress
1 pair earrings, silver, to complement the necklace
2 tops, one for work, one for play
3 flavored lip glosses, blackberry, peach, and lime (clear, not green)
1 small tube Jergens Natural Glow moisturizing cream for face, Medium
1 large tube Jergens Natural Glow Firming moisturizing lotion for body, Medium
1 accent lamp
1 antique-look globe
1 Dunkin Donuts coconut iced coffee, medium
1 wall hanging to go over our couch
1 30 gig iPod, white
1 2007 Mercury Milan V6 Premier, black

Oops, we bought a car. Our lease isn't up for four months, but we've been thinking for a while about what we wanted to get. We kept coming back to the Milan, the Camry, or another Accord. We voted down the Accord because we have one now and as much as we've loved it, the 2007 model looks pretty much the same as the 2004 and we wanted a change. We voted down the Camry because we weren't crazy about the 2007 styling. Milan, being the prettiest and the cheapest of the three, became an attractive alternative. An American car, I know! But Consumer Reports recommends it (thanks Dad), and there was a 2.9% financing deal, and they had what we wanted on the lot, and we got it for less than even we were anticipating (thanks Edmunds.com). Plus, in a few years, we'll have to replace Joe's car, so at that point we'll have the Milan paid off and it can become our secondary vehicle and we can use his current one as a trade on a new primary vehicle (I'm thinking Lexus...heh).

I'm still kicking ass on low-carb: so far, so good. Energy, it's nice to see you again! Have fun hanging out with your pal Determination. Why don't you go cozy up to Motivation and Willpower? Those fickle bitches need to be tamed.
