I finally got the hang of crocheting cables and re-crochet the cowl! I love crocheting with chunky yarn, it takes.. seconds! (Especially when comparing to my motifs) Since I've never made anything decent for my mother, I thought I should give her this cowl. I had tried to crochet her a vest last year which made her look like an asian cavewoman, not the trend of 2007. Cowls are super duper warm and since joining Etsy, they're popping up everywhere. I don't make them anywhere near spiffy as others but it's warm and public wear-able so Mum is happy!What about crunching cars?
Mine.
Yes.
I came home late, 7pm from work. (Urgh, stupid plasmid preparation!) Roads are all iced over. Our neighbourhood is on a hill. Normally you don't think much of the hill but when it's iced over and your car loses control and gives you a magic mountain ride for free, you notice. The instant I turned onto that road, I thought " You iz not very smart.." WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
~*~ Plastic Crunch~*~
Ahhh! Crunches are NEVER ever good. All I could think of was, poor baby, oh poor baby. (I bought my Corolla Sept 2007) I got out of the car but did not want to access the damage. Denial is good. My step dad and mother walked over from the house, it was only 2 blocks away, thank goodness and with his help and a kind stranger (I love kind strangers!!), my car was freed!
Here is why I'm counting my lucky stars:
* I'm not hurt.
*No one else was hurt.
*No other car was hurt.
*My car, did not sustain ANY damage!! (It crashed up the foot path)
*I was so close to home
*No other cars came crashing into me
Eeeeek! I don't like it one bit even though nothing major happened to me but it's a bit of a shaking up!
So for anyone driving in the winter time, drive safe and if it is horribly bad, just think: how much do you get paid a day, is it worth the damage you might sustain going to work on an icy day?
If no, boil some water and make your self a hot cup of tea and enjoy some Sally Jessie Raphael. (Is she still on? )
