A piano and a good voice

Sometimes all it takes is a piano and a good voice to make a great song.

Adele - Someone like you

You kissed me this morning and were gone before I could wake up and tell you that I loved you. Tell you that I'm sorry that we haven't been spending enough time together. That I would try harder to be a better husband. But I have nothing more than excuses. Or are they explanations to justify my actions? In my quest to improve our lot in life, have I missed something more important?

But there's just so much I want to do. There's so much left to do. And no matter how I look at it, there just does not seem to be enough time. I look down at my hands and I wonder they are able to accomplish all that I want.

Car Trouble and Drinking

So, YTD spending on my car? 2700 moolahs. 2700 simoleons. 2700 dollars. This car is killing my bank account.

04/21/2011 - Fuel Filter - $90
04/19/2011 - Fuel Pump - $480.64
03/28/2011 - Pre-Cat Oxygen Sensors - $312.85
01/22/2011 - Transmission Rebuild - $1786.91

I realized today that there are two things that I am struggling with right now. Car repair costs and drinking. One's killing my bank account, and the other is torpedoing my diet plan (Currently at 176 pounds, Goal? 165).

In hindsight, I should have been better prepared for this. I probably should have started saving for this kind of thing beforehand. But such is life, my entire savings plan was to just contribute as much as I can to my 401k and this is what that decision has left me with. I just need to recalibrate my plan and move forward!
