The economy isn't doing so well...loans are scarce...money is tight.
So what do I do?
I bought a new car.
Used actually...it's a 2008 Saturn Aura XR...and I LOVE it!

Scorpio Tidbits
Saw this on MSN, thought it was a pretty accurate picture of myself...since I am a Scorpio.
Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpio. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpio may not speak volumes or show emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, Scorpions are always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead.
Friends and Family
Sincerity and truth are strong components of the Scorpio's friends. It can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpio will remain dedicated and loyal. Witty and intellectual, they prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing. Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need, yet once they are crossed, there's no turning back. They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around. Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpio. They are exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when needed.
Career and Money
I desire is the key phrase for the Scorpio. They are fantastic at managing, solving, or creating. Once the Scorpio sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign. Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best done by Scorpions as they will delve deeply into the materials they have. Their ability to focus coupled with determination makes for strong management skills. They're not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well. Pursuing such careers as scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpio. Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers while also feeling a sense of being respected by others. Scorpions are disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes to get themselves in a good financial position. Many are fortunate and inherit money. Whatever the case - and regardless of the balance - they are great managers of their dollars and are not apt to overspend. Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpio. Therefore, they're going to hang onto the majority of the cash, making decisions carefully before turning any of it over.
Love and Sex
This is the strongest of the sexualities in the Zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpio takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpio needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly.

Anniversary
It's now 1:30 in the afternoon and I'm sitting here thinking about what I was doing 1 year ago today. At this point I was scarfing down lunch in the back room of St. Tim's, chatting with all my bridesmaids and my mom, and about to get into my wedding dress.
What a year it has been! I feel like it has gone INCREDIBLY fast, but I can still remember every detail of this day a year ago.
Highlights include:
*Laughing with Kyra about the smell of the Tide pen I used to get rid of the lipstick stain on my veil (they smell horrible!)
*Laughing my head off as Kyra ran back into the church after she forgot to bring in Scott's ring! It was a good handoff, because I forgot to give my engagement ring to my sister to wear!
*Trying not to completely lose it when I walked down the aisle, after I almost tripped over my dress. (My dad helped with that one)
*Seeing Scott in his tux, which I hadn't seen at all before that day
*Wondering if the flowers in my bouquet would make a mark on my dress as I sat with it in my lap during the ceremony.
*Riding in the vette to the reception...we certainly felt cool!!
*Seeing all my friends and family, I love the fact that so many were able to make it to the wedding.
*Of course--getting married and finally becoming husband & wife!
The first year has been great...let's hope all the years to come will be just as good, or better!
