       Thanks to the kindness of friends, Olivia is at school, all of the needed reports have been filed, everything that needed to be cancelled has been cancelled, and if I can work out the money, I may have a new car by next week. The money really worries me. I have started saving for a down payment on a home. And, this car replacement may send me all the way back to square one.

        

       Things that were in the car:


               Olivia's big white teddy bear that was a gift from my sister

               Olivia's favorite purple fuzzy socks that were a gift from Sandi

               Olivia's velvet pajamas that she wore to a sleep over

                A set of Robin Hood paper dolls that were also a gift

               My lined/leather winter coat with all of those pockets

               My digital camera (in one of those pockets)

               My iPod (gotta love pockets)

               A leather duffle I was given for doing sound/lights on the David Letterman show back when I was in college

               Olivia's Razor Scooter

                Our bike rack

               3 movies that we borrowed from the Library

               My FastLane/EZ-Pass box (happy I remembered to report it stolen)

               My bluetooth headset for my cell phone

               A whole bunch of graded homework and assignments that I hadn't returned to my students yet


        

       I guess I can kiss a new computer goodbye. I would rather take the car money from my upgrade fund than from my house fund. I have always bought cars outright. I have never financed one. And, I don't want to now. I want to keep my debt load clear and ready for a home. So, I guess I will comb craigslist and look for some for sale signs.
