i got my car today! i bought a 2000 honda crv. it's bright red. for the last 4 years i've been wanting a completely impractical car. something that makes people say "huh? that's YOUR car?". that's not why i bought my new crv, but it's a definite bonus. yes, i have no need for a small suv, but the opportunity arose to buy it at a less than reasonable price, so i took it. i'm pretty excited. i feel really high up, and it's so roomy! i'm gonna really take care of it, i learned the hard way the downside of not maintaining your car. it's been a little tricky to get used to but i think i'm slowly figuring it out. the gear box feels different when i change gears, and the gas pedal is really sensitive. you know, just normal different car stuff.

i've named it the mojo-mobile. not to be confused with "mofo". and i've put one of my apple stickers on the back bumper. i've been saving those stickers since i got my computer for something cool enough to be worthy of them. i wanted to use the stickers that came with my first mac that were of the original apple symbol, but i didn't want people to confuse it with another rainbow symbol often used on car bumpers.

i went strawberry picking this evening with shannon, rhonda, isaac and rhonda's mom 'dot'. shannon and i'd never been strawberry picking before. it was great. the strawberries were so juicy and ripe. they just smush and melt in your mouth. delightful :) it was really fun and exciting (in it's own way). now i have 2 lbs of strawberries in my fridge and i'm allergic to them so i can't eat many at a time. i think i'll take an allergy pill then gorge myself tomorrow :p

she's my safety-net. i don't know what i'll do with out her. or what'll happen over the next couple of months. but i won't be afraid.

don't you worry it'll all work out.
