Happy Birthday to Katie, Dad, and all the other November babies. As most people know 80% of my family seems to have been born in and around November. So to take the easy way out and to ensure not to forget anyone, I simply won’t mention names 🙂 If your birthday is in November, Happy Birthday to You.

It’s been a crazy month for me so far. Work is pulling me in 10 different directions. None of which are any fun lately.  Shannon and I decided to put Maui off till next year. Our traveling partners and us are all in the same situation. Low on funds. Shannon and I with the new house, and them with the wedding plans for next summer just makes things tight. Its all good. Now when we go we can relax and not worry so much about money.

Now onto my next mental dilemma. I’m still toying with the idea of trading in the TDI.  Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my VW.  And I can’t see driving anything BUT a VW. However, I’m at a point with my car where I’m either going to have to deal it, or keep it forever. Right now, if I do the math right, my car is worth exactly the same as a GTI with the options I want. So if the dealer can find me one, it should be a straight swap. Differences would be, 2 doors instead of 4, gas not diesel, allot more power and sportiness, leather interior. I know it don’t sound like a lot to most people, but I’m a car nut. I like fast cars (even though I’m an old lady on the road), and I enjoy having a sporty car to play with. I’m not a kid anymore, but I’m also not an old man just yet 🙂  I would be giving up rear doors and my mileage would go down. Still would be better then most vehicles on the road. Can’t really compete in mileage against a diesel unless  your looking at a hybrid. *yuck*.  I don’t know what to do. Friday I’m going in to talk to Dan at Henderson’s VW in Hagersville. Hopefully the numbers can help me decide.
