Doing my part for the economy and the environment.

By getting a new car!

My old car has gotten too tired to safely drive anymore, so I'm getting a Toyota Yaris. I got a great deal through an incentive plan at a local dealer (but no, not the cash for clunkers plan, my old car had a combined MPG of >18MPG. Sigh!) On a whim I test drove a Yaris and was very surprised that I really, really liked the car. After some number crunching and research I'm going in tomorrow to finish signing the paperwork and pick up my new car! YAY!

I am SO excited!

Summer Disconnect

So, I haven't posted in a while . . . but this is a normal occurrence for me. Over the summer I get so busy with knitting, and dinosaurs, and playing outside in general that my computer and I get a bit disconnected.

But this disconnect is a good thing. Really it is! During the academic year I spend so (SO) much time on the computer it is nice to get away. It also gives me a bit of a backlog for the rest of the year (for the "boring" spells at school). For now I get to focus on summer camp, knitting, dinosaurs, and hanging out with my family.


Have a great summer!
