My Entire Life is Changing Quickly and Don't Put Milk in the Keurig

Hayley is serious about moving out. She even cleaned up her room. She came out with many garbage bags and said she could see her couch in her room again. I'm like "You have a couch in there?" 

The first apartment we checked out was a dive and it was completely 'upgraded'. Well, upgraded obviously means different things to different people. I'm thinking granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwoods. Upgraded at this complex meant laminate floors, black appliances, granite-looking formica, and lots of people sitting outside smoking and screaming at others on their cell phones. 

Hayley looked at several more this week. For $450, you live in a neighborhood with drug dealers, gunshots, and lots of car break-ins (according to the reviews). For $600, you live in a moderately better area. I told her I'd gladly contribute $150 a month for a better chance of her staying alive. I guess sushi and manicures are out for a while....well like 12 months.

Before

With recent life changes, I've decided that I need a larger car so that I can transport two golf bags AND luggage so that Nick and I can go on golf trips. Nick's car is large enough, but its not a convertible. Oh and it doesn't help that BMW wants $600 to replace and reprogram a battery. That seems a little excessive to me. Time to go back to American-made while I'm helping Hayley through school.

Hayley is horrified that I would trade-in my car. This coming from the girl who claims she doesn't even like my car. 

Hopefully After

Unfortunately, finding a convertible in Texas is very hard to do. Well, at least, when you are picky about the color, the mileage, and the price. I may be a Longhorn, but I don't want to drive an orange car. 

And while I'm changing everything else in my life, time to put my house up for lease. Don't need to pay for a house in the Frisco Independent School District anymore. I talked to my realtor today and she said the leasing business is really good right now. 

Exciting and different times ahead!!!

So all my Texas friends, time to go buy out the grocery stores. Looks like the possibility of ice. I will be stopping by Beverage World on my way home. Hayley bought several packages of Ramen last night. We can survive a few days. Unfortunately, I cannot use the Keurig to make hot apple cider since Bimbo burned milk in it trying to make hot chocolate and never cleaned it out. The smell is horrible. We ran about 20 cups through it with vinegar and dishwashing soap. My $100 Keurig is now sitting in the garage airing out. I'm not sure it is salvgeable.
