a fork! he used a fork!

the wires are off and the husband can talk again! happy day!

even the fact that i got rear-ended didn't bring me down.

yes, some silly lady caused a 4 car rear-ending experience today while i was on my way home. fortunately i was the last car to be hit and the damage was minor to my rear bumper.

so now i am doing some research while the husband talks on the phone! the phone...he can totally use the phone.

and that is the exciting news for today, folks . talking on the phone and using a fork.

oh wait did you hear about the celtics? oh you did? good!

he's back!

i know i have mentioned how awesome the husband is. and if you happen to have missed those posts, i'll tell you again. he rules. the evidence is clear...that time he pulled my alarm clock out from under the bed....when he did so great during his jaw surgery...and the fact that he will still see earth crisis should they happen to come to worcester.

but friday night really took the cake. we were clearing the final boxes and what-not from the back room to make way for the painters and the husband pulled a long lost friend from a cardboard box.

FLINT! he found flint!

flint went missing when we sold the red gti and bought the subaru last summer. i recall carefully removing him from his home on the dash and placing him into the box i was using to clear out the car. when i went to find him a week later he was no where to be found. at first i thought i just didn't look hard enough. then i thought i had the wrong box. then i figured i was a jack-ass and probably threw him away. now i know that he must have been stuck in the box all along. he is totally going into the dash of the subaru tomorrow.

thanks for reuniting me with an old friend.

why is this the rental they gave me?

me- "why do they even make these?"

the husband- "it's a modern mystery for sure"

a month in review

after a little slacking on my part I thought I would give a little month in review...there have been changes- some big, some small- there have been ups and downs, and there have been days that I did not have the camera...let's take a look.....

I no longer drive a WV...I love the new car, but there are things that the subaru just doesn't have...like that roll up the windows from the outside feature....but hey minor, right?

some days i go out to my car at lunch and snap a picture of what's going on .... last week I was it! no seriously the parking lot was mysteriously quiet...I was the only one out there.

it's fall now- you can get a pumpkin (or a watermelon?) to get in the spirit. also, learned, as I drove by this farm stand, that middle-aged Moms should not wear short-shorts with writing on the butt to pick out pumpkins (you can thank me for sparing you the picture) it's just looks wrong.

this is what I picked out for my birthday...my mom offered to buy me something "pretty", but I picked out this cast iron pot...am I nuts? no way!

no more VW....no more stick shift...weird. actually most of the time I am VERY ok with this- but sometimes I still grab the shifter and push the imaginary clutch. (most of the time it's accidental)this would be the reason I am VERY ok with not driving stick anymore. my drive to work one morning took over an hour...that's over an hour to travel 10 miles. fortunately I was able to send myself some text messages.....
I lost my sunglasses for two days.....found 'em... I won't tell you where....

sometimes at lunch I don't just go out an take a random picture. no, sometimes I go to starbucks...for a iced soy latte, or an iced tea, or to visit my cousin because now she works at the one near my office. (no hook up though-damn)

as for the parts that I didn't have the camera...the only one I really regret is missing the snap shot of Ann wearing this really sweet victorian era hat while in a vintage textile shop sturbridge this weekend....and I also saw an animal medium which was a bit wild but not great for photographs.

yes I should get back to every day blog posts- I keep reading that the best way to make something a habit and to get through any creativity blocks is to do it every day- no matter what.

very bad blogging

this was a very big weekend here at the homestead. we found briggsington a playmate and we bought a new car....and I took pictures of nothing. man I am a bad blogger. I mean I have a blog about driving and I forgot to document the new car buying experience. seriously- I am a fool. my only saving grace is that we didn't actually bring anything home with us this weekend. I am still waitingto hear if we can bring the dog home, and we will pick up the new Forester on Tuesday. so with any luck I will be able to drive out to pick up the new doggy today and then we'll get the new car tomorrow and I'll take lots of pictures and blog a good blog about this exciting stuff for real tomorrow!
