Restless..
Well never thought I would be able to afford one, but we bought Nikki a Cadillac CTS last night. Pimped out leather seats, butt warmers, power.. EVERYTHING. It's metallic grey and very pretty. Bought it used w/ only 15k miles on it. Got a very good deal on it, my Dad was very impressed w/ the payment we got. Nikki is excited.. I think. She hated her PT Cruiser. Now of course she didn't hate it when we got it but started to shortly after I got my Mustang. My car is pretty nice and I think she was jealous that I bought myself a nicer car than I bought her. Now I didn't do that out of greed or b/c I thought I deserved a nicer car than her, but when I got mine it wasn't a rush job and we had more money to spend. But needless to say her car is nicer than mine now. But here's the weird thing. Although a CTS has been her dream car.. FOREVER, she seemed very reluctant to spend that much money on herself. I had to coax her to buy a car that she wanted. The payment jumped a bit but it was a great deal for such a nice car. Did I do the right thing prodding her to get this car? They were having a sale and I was thinking someone else could have drove away in it just as well as we did. I know she is nervous now but she got her dream car.. I did right.. right?
Been back from a vacation in Louisiana. It was good to see my g-parents. I miss them a lot. My g-pa is very important to me. He is 1 of the main reasons I am the man I am today. I know that their time is slipping away from us. I hate it, but I also hate seeing them in the health that they're in. Now they aren't dying right before everyone's eyes or anything but every trip they are more tired and a little more down than the last time I saw them. I'm fortunate to have had all my grandparents for most of my childhood, hell my kids didn't even get to have that, but I hate to think that I'm down to 2 and that when 1 of them goes the other will be right behind them. They have been together for so long, the other will miss them too bad to live much longer.
Burned out on FFXI right now. It always happens when I start making headway in that game. I've been playing Golden Sun for the GBA and really enjoying it. Plan on playing FFVI, which I got from a good friend for Christmas next. It bothers me I haven't beat GS and had it for such a long time. I've also started over on the Wheel of Time series. I'm on book 1 "Eye of the World" and I'm reading it like I did the 1st time. Such a good story and the 1st book is 1 of my favorites. The series kind of takes a political feel the further you get into it. It's very well written but I enjoy the power of beginning.
I'm restless tonight and I don't know why. I've read, I've played video games. I exercised earlier today.. but I cannot calm down. Something is gnawing at the back of my mind but I don't know what. I have to work tomorrow (Thursday night.. I haven't been to bed so it still seems like tomorrow). My mind is racing. I've always wanted to write a story but don't think I'd be good at it, but that is where my mind is racing. What I really would like to do is try to make my on video game but I've never had much luck w/ RPG Maker. I can't get it to do what I want it too. I wish I had something for the PC that I could point click and make a game and come up w/ the plot and battles and such as I go.
