Wanting

Sometimes, I am overwhelmed by the material things I want. Lately, it has been a new SUV. Thinking that it would alleviate much of the complication associated with the daily journeys the children and I take, I am convince that having a new vehicle is more of a need than a want. But is it? Today I stopped at Higginbotham Mercedes after church. I like to visit car dealerships when they are closed because I don't like the hasseling that occurs. I saw a Porsche Cayenne, and I believe that it's calling my name. On the sales tag it says that it is 32,600. Being the research nerd, I have found out online that it is only 29,500. Talking about a great deal or is it a great deal. However, there is a catch. I owe a substantial amount on my current car. If I tried to get the Porsche Cayenne, I would be "upside down," which in laymen terms is a bad deal. What is a girl to do? For me a want eats away at the core of me and transforms in to an incredible need. I am trying to relinquish this feeling, but it keeps knawing. What is a girl to do?

I learned this weekend that cars are nothing more than metal, fabric and a little glitz on top. They crumple like paper if you bash them just right.
What matters isn't what they look like, or the price tag. It's what's inside them.

You are beautiful, Cassandra. You would be beautiful no matter what you drive. Look in the back seat, too. That's where the value is.
