Well, I should be getting some SERIOUS homework done, I'm giving a presentation Weds and I have, um, the title slide finished...but, earlier a lil bird told me about this AWESOME blog hop idea, and I was like, Oh, blog! It's been a while! So, in a nutshell, the last few weeks...camera found, then computer crashed, best friend had baby FAR away, a couple presentations, a few exams, more teeth for the babe, volunteer work, work work, and plotting a secret (from the kiddo) road trip!
Phew. Well, working on the getting pictures up annnnd maybe thinking of joining the latest hop by Megandvd@BeautyintheAttempt :)
Family. Friends. House that needs fixing. Playing. Creativity. Learning. Sharing. Being broke but having fun.

O camera, where art thou?
So, I took pics of the things I accomplished while out with "appendajerk" and I can't find my camera. I also can't find my energy to look for it, and it's a really long boring post without pictures, but I feel like I need to blog, so I'm going to share with you something VERY exciting that my husband just sent to me...
Preface: I get to pick out whatever vehicle I want when I'm done with school. Unfortunately I'm a car girl and have a list a mile long of what I'd love. Keeping my focus on something "new" I've narrowed it down to 2 main players, that is, until now....
OH MY GOODNESS! Now, my quest for a Vdub bus was squashed for a while. Husby, a mechanic, refuses to touch the things, but a little bit ago I found that a friend of a friend fixes them up for fun. They also have a track record of things like, oh, ya know, bursting into flames and breaking down, making it a little unappealing since I need to be on time every once and a while, at least for the foreseeable future (Boo). But then, Husby sends me this link! FINALLY! I mean they remade the bug HOW long ago now? And, 186.4 on a single battery charge? Holy dang. Yes, Yes, I DO realize that it is just a concept at the Geneva Auto Show, but fingers crossed, it will be mine. I could fit more than 4 people in it tooo, ya know, just in case...
In the meantime...My two top picks of things to get new are...
The mini countryman!
We picked up a mini clubman for my mom last year to settle our debt with my parents from the $ they helped us with to buy the house and make things happen with me in school. Love that car. Was thinking, it's be AWESOME if it had all wheel drive and heated seats, two of my fav features in my 1997 subaru princess wagon. And there ya go, they made it. It's ADORABLE. The last time we had to take the mini in for some warranty work, I was like...what is THAT?! The only downside I can think of is that it's, well, small. It's got 4 bucket seats, cool for road trip, but uncool if we have 5 people that want to go somewhere. Or 5 people in the family (maybe? someday?). Although, we always seem to have something else to drive...
My other top pick is the subaru legacy GT. It's like the grownup version of Husby's WRX, and mighty good looking. I'm so-so-sooooo sold on subarus. Just last week we had a foot of snow fall by the time I got in from school, and I had no probs getting in the driveway. Plus side: Husby will work on subarus, gladly. It also looks really harmless, won't draw attention. Downside, not as good on gas as the mini, not electric. More pricey than the mini too, even if I design my own mini. Waiting for suby to get on the hybrid bandwagon. If they jump on the bandwagon before VW decides to move the van to production...Well, we'll see!
Well, I hope you enjoy my car post in lieu of pictures of the results of my unexpected low key days off :)
