Well...all I can say is that I need to echo Alison's text message from yesterday: "What a wonderful week!", by which she means "not so wonderful."
Have you ever had to replace a timing belt on an Audi or VW? Let's just say that it's almost as expensive as...a REALLY nice trip to Mexico with first class air tickets...or a REALLY nice treadmill so you don't have to walk in the pouring rain during the winter.
Not that we have either of those things, or will have anytime soon, because...hey...we have (or will have) a brand new timing belt.
If I even knew what a timing belt was, it might make the whole thing more palatable. Is it a belt I could wear with a cute vintage outfit? No, that would be the OLD timing belt. Is it made of braided leather? Would it go with my cowboy hat and my Ariat Fat Baby boots?
When the Audi gets fixed, I will post a picture of it here. I think we might be repainting it, too, with 24 karat gold paint.
Those of you who had your hearts set on Christmas presents from us will just have to go for a ride in the Audi.
But really, we are so grateful we can even afford to get the thing fixed. It is still less expensive than replacing a car.
My verse for this post: "There is a TIME for every purpose under heaven:...a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance...a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend...He has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecclesiastes 3:4,6,7,11
Now the Audi will be beautiful inside and out. All in good time.
