so the car (affectionately named "monster" or "ridiculously loud vehicle" [rlv]) only lasted about 2 weeks before it died. The diagnosis is a worn starter. It's sitting in my garage right now because I'm not one for lying on the ground in the winter. We already tried that in a church parking lot at 10:30 at night. It'll have to wait until it's a bit warmer.

It's too snowy and icy to drive the beast anyway. Oh how I'm ready for spring and summer!!

other than that I'm just staying busy! it's all about design and CROCHETING lately (yes, crocheting). I've been making beanies like crazy - awesome ones with brims (you know you want one). I still have a long list of beanies to finish too.
