I(t) Got Better...

So if you scroll down, you'll see what my Thursday was like. I was sitting in my car, legally parked, and just relaxing on my lunch break. I had the seat back because I wanted to stretch out a bit, and even though it was cloudy, I decided to put my sun shade up for a little extra privacy.

1:00 rolls around and I'm starting to gather my stuff to go back to work.

*crack*

*pop*

And I scream. I knew INSTANTLY what that sound was. It was a large portion of the tree coming down ON TOP OF MY CAR!!!! WITH ME IN IT!!!!!

Thankfully, my seat was still back so I didn't get conked on the head. And my sun shade was up so there was no flying glass. In fact, I walked away without so much as a bruise.

But my car? My poor little car? Totaled. As you can see from the pictures from the previous post.

So...A friend of a friend called a guy and now...I have THIS...
...a 2006 Ford Focus in Liquid Gray. It's so pretttttty!


So the moral of the story...DON'T EVER PARK UNDER ANY TREES!!!!! They WILL come after you!

Must...be...strong...

I've done it again. I've spent the night shopping for sock yarn. I have finished exactly ONE sock (not a pair. ONE) and I'm shopping for Lorna's Laces and Cherry Tree Hill.

So far tonight I've shopped for about $150 worth of sock yarn. I've drooled over the Supersock in Winterberries and Moody Blues. And we won't discuss what I did when I found the Lorna's Laces (you're welcome). The LL had Purple Club and Lakeview and Tahoe... and... and...

And then there was Knitpicks. With it's Dancing and Shimmer and Alpaca Cloud. I started to look at Koigu, but I thought that way led to the dark side.

I love it all. Every skein. Every color. Self-stripes, solids, pooling...all of it. And yet...I didn't buy a single skein. Not a bit. I'm proud of myself.

But maybe I'll just pop on back for that Purple Club...
