Why, yes!

Of all the kinds of guys I've dated, I think pilots have been the second most common profession -- maybe third if you break down all the techies. The first have been software developers. Hmm, maybe pilots are second, after all. Other techies have probably been networking guys and hardware guys or guys who run techie Web sites.

I realised that I am like my dad in one way. After getting home from work, I hang out in my undies.

My dad called me yesterday. There has been a rumour going around that I'm broke! So he was inquiring about my money woes. He generously offered to help me out for getting a new car (even though he scoffed at the idea of another sports car). I thought about it, and I declined.

First, I am too proud to take his money. Second, if he's going to give me a lump of money, I'd put it towards my mortgage instead. I countered his offer with that suggestion, but he didn't seem to go for it (even though he did say that after my parents' divorce, he would give me a chunk of money for my place...which he has not mentioned since...)

I'm in a car transition point right now. I would LOVE to get another Mustang...I adore the new ones. However, I don't want to pay off a car in a few years and have to get *another* new car right after that will be more practical and more suitable for families. I am just thinking ahead.  

And plus, I can't really afford to make car payments right now without shaving down my savings. Once my home is paid off, then I can get a new car!! I locked in my mortgage rate today, too. Only another 15 years and 4 months until my home is paid for. 

While my parents were together, my dad secretly bought a townhouse. He now keeps saying he had bought it for me, and he's seriously convinced himself of that. Why would he buy me something and not ask for my input? While he owned it, his mistress lived in it with her kids. The amount of rent she was paying didn't even cover the mortgage payments because she refused to pay more. And then he sold it for some reason. And then he regretted it because he could have been living in it after my parents broke up.

It makes me mad that he says he bought it for me to live in. Because if he sincerely bought it for me, that would have meant he would have chosen where *I* lived while not living under his roof. No, thanks.
