How does that saying go again? Don’t put the cart before the horse? Makes total sense, right? I mean, you can still ride a horse without a cart, but you can’t travel around in a cart without something to pull it. How genius. And all this time I had it wrong.
I’ve bought the $2000 treadmill without having started an exercise routine.
I’ve bought the uber expensive camera without having learned how to use any digital camera.
I’ve built the 3rd and 4th computer without having put the first two to good use.
I’ve bought the uber expensive pda to help me with a plan I still haven’t created.
I’ve bought theory lesson books #2,3,4,5,6 without having read through the first one.
And every time I do this I say to myself “next time, I’ll just wait until I complete x and y, before I buy z”.
So now, as much as I want that new camera, dammit, I decided this time I better learn how to use the first two I have. Sigh… But I still really want that damned camera. It’s just so darned cute!
Shit, it’s hard to say no to myself. ![]()
As an aside, here’s a riddle. How low does the temperature have to go before this former new yorker floridian turns on her heater?
46°F! yeah baby!
(well, the thermostat only said 70°F so maybe I am still a wuss)
However…if you owned a horse with a wide forehead and you padded the back of the cart, he could perhaps be trained to push it along, no?

Reply to Mr. Fabulouslol! well, i did have that vision while thinking about the horse and cart thing. It’d be hard for the horse to see where he’s going, or steer for that matter. poor horse.
