Rule #6451a: Don’t name something before you own it.

That was my lesson for the week. I found this beautiful 1972 Correct Craft Mustang for the right price…took out some money and lined up a hitch so when I went to look at it I could simply take her straight home to the lake. It was the one, I knew it, look no further. So we named her Stella, and have been screaming STELLA!!! all week. Until Rob had other plans and called me the night before we were going to meet to tell me he couldn’t do it yet, he didn’t want to sell the boat yet.

And then my dreams are crushed…and I’m kicking myself in the shins because its all my fault because I named it and talked about it out loud. Well Stella, it would have been fun. I have finally recovered from the repercussions. I guess she wasn’t the one after all. I’m still on the hunt for an old ski boat if anyone has any leads!
