stuff at the craft fair

oh, right. i do still have a website. sorry about that. what with having no access when i’m most often found at a computer and with twitter being so darn easy to pop my thoughts out when they come… excuses, excuses. i’m a poor blogger, i know. actually, it seems to be a theme lately. most of my favourite bloggers have been really quiet lately. maybe the bloom is finally off the rose…
regardless, hi! what’s up?
this past week i’ve been the crazy crafter. one of my co-workers mentioned she was to have a table at a local craft fair this weekend and, without even thinking about it, i asked if i could put some stuff on it for her to sell. so, i’ve been making booties, photo cards and magnets, magnets and more magnets. it’s been fun! i think it’s the season for closeting yourself in your house and making things.
otherwise, i re-borked my knee a couple of weeks ago, so was limping and sad for two weeks. i rediscovered my love of breakfast dining. i’ve almost finished my xmas shopping. i’ve had far, far too many work dreams. i need a haircut. my boyfriend bought himself a 24″ iMac and i’m so jealous.
big news: i’m finally booked for my MRI at st. paul’s hospital on the 2nd. i’m ridiculously excited to start the process of (hopefully) getting my knee fixed. seriously, you couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the day i got the news.
car update: after $600 and four trips to the spa, i think the intermittent and troubling power problems have been fixed. first, they replaced the oxygen sensor (to fix the sputtering), then they replaced the coolant temperature sensor (to fix the crazy starting problem). it’s been running really well the last two weeks, so of course that’s when i discovered there’s a leak somewhere.
christopher and i stopped at the grocery store to pick up dinner fixings last night on the way home from work. when i asked him to reach into the back, behind my seat, to grab my re-useable shopping bags (see? i’m eco-friendly!), he pulled them out he said they were wet and asked if i’d put an umbrella back there. i then reached behind me and felt the floor mat — and it was soaking wet.
it’s probably been there forever, so i can’t panic about it. hell, i can’t even let myself think about it or i’ll just get disheartened. i was starting to feel so good about the car and my bank accounts and knee situation… something had to go wrong, right? i will mention it to the spa guy when i go back to give him an update on the fixes. maybe he’ll have a cheap and easy idea. cross your fingers!
so, yeah. i’m really boring, which is probably the main reason it’s been so quiet around here.
how’ve you been? tell me everything!

    I am so freaking busy this month my head might explode.
    And I finished my 365 Days!
    And… um… preparing for Thanksgiving, then the holidays.
    Plus all the usual stuff.
    My poor blog has been so abandoned since the start of the 365 thing, though it might get more attention now. Or I might just be entirely sick of the Internet as a whole. Kind of.
    Except I signed up for a Facebook account and suddenly am getting gajillion emails about people asking to be my friend or accepting my request to be friends. It would be nice if real life were so formal sometimes! :-)

  3. hey, sorry your knee got borked again. Hope it starts getting all fixed up good n proper starting on the 2nd :)
