It started with a car.
Florida is not a public transportation friendly state. If you want a job, you pretty much need a car. However, you can’t buy a car until you have a job. But once you get the job, you figure you can buy the car. The solution seems clear…financing!

I frugally picked out a reliable, used Nissan Altima for $6,500 and my godfather cosigned my loan. When all was said and done, I would pay over $10,000 on the vehicle – not counting any repairs – but I figured that I would make even more money so I would come out ahead and establish my credit. (Mistake #1)
But money, as often happens, got tight.
Remembering everything off the top of my head is not one of my skills (neither is steady cam work, apparently) so here is exactly what deliciousness we are growing in our square foot garden:
We’ll do just about anything in this country to avoid walking.
We drive, we buy treadmills that we don’t use, we install “moving walkways”. We spend more time driving around the parking lot looking for the closest spot to the door than it would take to just park already and walk!
Birdie writes for Bonne Vie (en Anglais “The Good Life”) a blog that celebrates what it means to live fabulously from the inside out!
Behold, fabulosity! You may get your sunglasses.
Apparently, that also includes maintaining a vigilant personal vendetta against raisins. “Yes,” she says “raisins, the food.”
Chris and I were on our way to see “Terminator: Salvation” when I saw a billboard on the side of the road.
16 oz of Awesome
And I was like “YES!” First of all, I love Sunkist. Second of all, I love awesome. (Honestly, it’s like they built that billboard for me.)
And my life is full of awesome.
Pretty much everyone knows by now that I love me some apocalyptic movies. Preferably with zombies.
(Is it because I grew up in Hurricane Alley? My hard-scrabble years in Miami? Watching “Walker: Texas Ranger”? On second thought, it’s probably all those years of “Unsolved Mysteries”.)
Whatever the situation, I am programmed to consider all defense and survival angles. What could I do, MacGuyver style, if the plane crashes? If my parachute doesn’t deploy? If someone tries to take us hostage?
…which is totally why I am the Chief Tactical Officer of the Love Bungalow.
