I am looking forward to the ride to Bennettsville on Sun. for the sale on Monday. I am going to enjoy listening to the Statler Bros. while I am riding in my new to me truck. Yes, truck. I have been saying for a couple of months that I needed a man with a truck, think I have even mentioned it here. A few weeks ago, I said since it wasn't looking real encouraging on the man front that I was just gonna buy my own damn truck. So that is exactly what I did today and yes I am feeling very pleased with myself. She is a sweet sporty looking Ford F-150, no little truck for this ole girl. I have toyed and thought about and prayed about this for a couple of weeks now. Had pretty much decided that this week I was going to do it. Sure 'nuff when I went to bed last night I knew that by tonight I was going to have a truck.
While they were finishing all the paperwork Dumbass called and asked what I was doing, so I told him that I was trading cars. I had not mentioned this to anyone except Janelle and I called her this morning and said, "I am going to get me a truck today." Anyway his reaction was "you are doing what?" I told him you heard me which led to what are you getting which led to "a truck." And bless that boy's heart he really is a smart man but for the next couple of minutes he really was a dumbass! He asked me had I called and talked to my horse trader brother about this. My reply was "no, why would I?" He then, (I thought he knew me better than this) asked me didn't I think I needed my brother's advice about what to buy. Yes, he surely did! I very calmly (ain't ya'll just proud!?) told him that I did not need brother or anyone else's advice that I knew exactly what I was doing. Which was followed by him saying, "I'm not gonna get any where with this am I?" And my reply was , "Nope." Now let me say that I know he was just being protective and I really did appreciate it and he knows that I trust this brother's opinions without question. But still, have you met me?! I have always been independent (bet ya'll hadn't figured that out yet). But necessity has required me to be even more independent. I guess. Oh, I imagine I could always check with everybody else before making these major decisions but really, why? The way I see it (and remember I only have one good eye) is that I am responsible for me. If I screw up then I will be the one to fix it. But I feel really good about this decision. Reminds me of the song, "There's Just Something About a Truck."
TTYL (for you non texters, Talk To You Later) I am going to bed it has been a long day. Wish it was gonna be warm enough on Sat. to wash my truck. hehehe
