A MINI Cooper. I’ve wanted one, of, I dunno, forever. I built “my MINI” on MINI Usa website way back last summer (maybe before), but thus far I’ve been being “a good girl” and not thinking about it…much. I have a perfectly servicable Saturn with only 55k on it… I really don’t *need* a new car. (And this is, by far, the worst kind of retail therapy!).

But now my boss, David, has one. And so I’ve ridden in one for the first time. And it’s just as marvelous as I thought it would be. Oh turmoil.

(This anxiety is compounded by the horrible horrible re-finance experience I had recently… now the whole “dealing with money” business has me scared. Gak).
