Summer's End was terrific! Weather was fab. Vigil was lovely & delicious. So much fighting to watch, you could walk away and do something else for an hour, come back and watch them still fighting!  There was a moment during the final round, His Highness and K were wailing on each other totally focused, people all around the field chatting and ( Read more... )

LOVE long weekends! Gave me a chance to focus on the backyard, which I've been neglecting horribly the last couple years. Seems like I can do the front or I can work the back garden in any given year, but not both. I just run out of steam. But since we stopped at "the Mount" http:// ( Read more... )

Back from our trip to "the Cape". Thursday was a really nice day to drive home, but man 'm tired ( Read more... )

Clearly I lost my marbles yesterday. At first there was just a little hole in the bag and 1 rolled away when I decided to go into ACMoore. I had a good grip on them for a while, just sort of poking around the store, the new merchandise up front, briefly glancing at the scrap booking aisle then glancing away with a guilty conscience.  The paint ( Read more... )

Went to check out the Toyotas yesterday. Drove a Corolla: nice size, nice quiet ride, but a VERY deep clutch. Did not like that you pretty much have to go to the floor to shift. It ment I had to be kinda close to the wheel. Other issue is the back seat is shaped forward toward the doors cutting into the hip room. It's okay if it's just your butt, ( Read more... )

My head is swimming a little. I test drove two Hondas today: the Fit and the Civic sedan.
I LOVE the FIT! It's so friggin' cool! The back seats fold flat - and I do mean FLAT. When most cars say the back seat folds down, well it does, but it sticks up 3-4" at an angle. This is big, FLAT, tall storage with a low sill hatchback. It would be soooo easy ( Read more... )

My little green car needs euthanasia. Either that or $2000+ in life support. But it's almost 12 for goodness sake and I just can't afford to sink that much more into it. It's drivable now, I have no idea for how many days/weeks more. The guy said eventually the engine will just stop. So the hunt begins ( Read more... )

I am a slug.
          I was a slug all weekend
                              accomplishing little more than playing Sims2
                                                          and washing some dishes.

Oh and going to see Harry Potter and the1/2BloodPrince! It was a few minutes in when I realized "hey, I DID read this one! Cool." Just need the ( Read more... )

So the garage sale wasn't as bad as I was afraid it might be, but I did escape for a while on Saturday. Didn't have enough time to see HP though. Maybe next weekend ( Read more... )
