Bittersweet

Bitter:
Okay...so we have been wanting to sell our car for some time now.
We love our 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbo Diesel but
the heating/cooling unit doesn't work, the rear shocks need to be replaced,
it needs a fresh coat of paint, the muffler is two speed bumps away from falling off, and well the list goes on. So somewhat reluctantly, we put an add on craigslist.com and in 3 days,
we got a bite! A sweet old mechanic and his wife took Ole' Gertrude off our hands.
Here's a picture of her:

She was quite a character and we will miss her.

Sweet:
After we sold the car, we went out and bought a new one!
We bought a 1999 Olds Aurora:
(This is a stock photo b/c I don't have a picture of ours yet) It's black with black leather interior, dual climate control, all-digital dash, the works! We call it our mafia car because it is black on black, very spacious and has a HUGE trunk. We like our new car very much.

Bitter:
Sadly, I learned today that I missed my most favorite national holiday yesterday: National Cheesecake Day. Dang! Cheesecake Factories all over the United States were offering every single piece of cheesecake on their menu at a special price of $1.50 per slice, ahhh! Normally it's $8-$10 per decadent slice. I am so totally bummed that we missed my favorite holiday. Next year, we will remember and this is what I shall have:

One slice of the White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake and one slice of the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. 364 days to go baby!
