Back to Work

Today was a bit harsh of a reality check.

I miss Arkansas. Taking pictures and wandering.

Now it’s back home. And remembering that my car needs to be fixed pronto, after staying the weekend in the hands of my dad, at his make believe body shop:

"Body Work"

Guess the door handles will be unshaved much sooner than I’d planned. Yay.

Jasper!

We made it to Jasper safely. Here are a few pictures from the drive down yesterday:

This morning, we woke up and messed around with the cameras a bit before leaving:

Us in front of the Falls - Looks fake, haha

Water Study

Mud on the Tires

Wind in my hair

Best Rootbeer Float Ever

Huge Smiles

We picked up a tripod at one of the shops in town, and were playing with the delayed shutter here. I was trying to run and jump so fast to get in the shot that I ended up landing in the water with one of my feet. We were both laughing so hard in this shot – I was glad I brought my snow boots of I’d have been soaked.

One Wet Foot

I took about a bajillion other pictures too, and some of them can be seen here. I’ll be steadily uploading more in the next few weeks as film gets developed and digital shots are sorted through.

Like a new car!

I got the Tib back today!!! It’s got a brand new engine (covered by the warranty!) and a new clutch! Happy 6th birthday, Tibby.

Happy Birthday, Tib

Seriously?

I am not a fan of cold weather. Just seeing this make me quite crabby. But, in happy news, I get my car back tomorrow!!!!

Cold weather = nonsense.

Knitting Slump.

I’ve been crabby all this week because I don’t have a car and am getting frustrated. I don’t want to knit that sock anymore, I think I’m going to rip it. I look at it and just have the urge to cut it. So, to fill the time, I’m knitting this phone cozy for Jess. It’s a poptart.

Today was a fake Thursday! It was a little long, but it’s done now. I picked Kevin up from work because he’s been awesome enough to let me use his car today and tomorrow because mine is broken. I “helped” him with a crossword puzzle, then there was dinner and video games at his house. I am not as good at Mario Karts as I remember, but he is good at fighting ninjas that have kidnapped the president.

Now I am back home, and sad that I have to be at work at 8 tomorrow instead of 9. Because it is nearly midnight, and I should be in bed. Instead, I’m here writing this blog and posting a picture.

Crosswords.

Tomorrow is my Friday! Once I’m off work, I hope to clean my house. We’ll see how that goes.

Broken. :(

So, my car broke today. I really hope that it’s not something terrible, or something that won’t be covered under warranty – because I have $0.

My photo of the day is Jaws on the tow truck:

Other than that, today was good. Had lunch at Pi with the knitters then hung out with Kevin the rest of the day. He drove Paisley & I to Jessie’s since I’m staying there tonight because I’m car-less. Then we went and had dinner with his parents, and headed back to Jessie’s and hung out. Krispy Kreme doughnuts were involved. Now it’s time to knit. I have the 2nd sleeve down to the elbow. So close to finishing!

This is a 2.5 day week. I’m really excited about the holiday. :D
