Here’s me in a Carwash Today

And that’s it.

Sorry, just don’t have the 90 minutes in me to finish these posts, I’ll do a whole fresh front page tomorrow. It wasn’t till yesterday that it sunk in – Christmas is next week… huh? Impossible. But it is. Oh time. The only non-renewable resource.

Debating taking next week off here (still will be writing at the paper), and really digging into celebrating my first holidays in my new house (a lot of jogging pants and couch.)

TTYT night

 

 

Again, I know, I’m Sorry

Can you tell I am not into it? Probably.

Hi from the couch. It’s the grey days, plus the cold, a metaphorical sucker punch in the gut bahhh. So cheap, to sucker. I should tweet that line.

I’m drowning in newspaper deadlines, it’s business year end plus a drawer of Life Admin… sorry but taking the rest of the week off here, to get things in order to start a fresh year. Reminder that corporate taxes are due soon.

Back to regular daily updates on Monday… we’re off to Michigan next week for Ford’s annual Christmas party, and tomorrow’s column I’m trying something new, a sequel: Driving Tricks Part 2.

Still in the Civic, still loving the throw.

Been sewing.

I love sewing, specifically quilting. Here’s the first one I ever made #BenefitOfBlogging

In my mind, setting up my machine was a benchmark in the 4-month saga that was my house winterization project. A kind’ve finishing move, “kk when the renovation is complete, I get to just live in it and do things like sew” benchmark.

Achieved that Sunday, and it’s distracting me. Currently working on curtain tie-backs.

Modified this old piece using left-over curtain fabric, therefore all fabric in my house is exactly the same YES how’s that for plain.  Love plain.

You’ve seen this cabinet on my blog since 2007.  Best it’s ever looked.

Was introduced to this truck.. OKAY have you seen this thing in action – 2015 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6

Something that big and heavy that can move like that PHFT… I’ll go find you a video link brb….. here, Top Gear, Richard Hammond drives in the dunes of Dubai.

And here’s me… curling my hair in a parking lot.

Another Animated Gif (34)

This time, Jeremy and I are having a coffee.

Mega Test Team Unite

You’ve met Jeremy before, we’ve tested together probably 6 vehicle launches, we have it down to a science, we’re Mega Test Team.

Here’s a couple videos from when we went off-roading with a Raptor in Alberta, and I lost control of my neck while Jeremy was driving.

Me recently.

And here’s me signing off till Monday TTY then XO

Back Up & Running on Popsicle Sticks

Sorry again for the interruption in service, plans are in place to complete the cleanup this weekend. But between that and 4 newspaper deadlines this week, ya, woah.

***

I definitely don’t live in the city anymore.

Yellow is a never.

Discovered a new favourite car, below.

Can you tell what it is? It’ll get a proper post next week.

How my neighbour calls on me.

The. Best.

And I’m pleased to report I can now offer guests a place to sit. Look, a couch. Took 3 months and tada. Also note the mirror has returned.

It’s casino weather now.

Waste of a good photo opportunity eh, because whose head is big enough to make this funny?

And finally I made it inside the 400 Flea Market, been on my list for 10 years.

It was okay, I’ve been to better, I’m a flea market connoisseur.

Got this new hat there, $7 (OEMs: send me your hats)

Editing last Sunday, going to try to again this one, I love love video editing.

And with that I’m out.

Deadlines done, inbox is zeroed, and I’m off to make up for last night, Thursday night, which is always the best night of the week except yesterday’s, which was opposite.

Have a great weekend TTY Monday xo

 

 

You Come for Cars, I Give you Laundry

I know guys *hangs head*

But I had 7 machines going at once! Meh, I know, still. Nor do you care about my favourite tiny towel.

If we’re just meeting: I used to live in a condo in downtown Toronto, bought a house on July 25, and never went back.

It’s a cottage I winterized into a house, and have been living in a construction zone since. I’m like a squatter with a mortgage. Blog tag = house

WAIT. I can actually car-ify this post..

The laundry arrived in a 2015 Subaru WRX, whose trunk will hold 7 loads.

Oh that mirror I had built?

It arrived on Friday, and when it was installed I got so excited my head hurt.

Then on Sunday, it fell off the wall HOW lucky I was home.

When the mirror guys came to retrieve it, he said, “I’ve been installing mirrors for 25 years, and never seen this happen.” This stuff always happens to me.

So lucky I was home. Never mind the massive amount of bad luck it would’ve brought, but it would’ve smashed into this.

Last week a trade was standing in the above, he stopped mid-sentenace, looked around with widening eyes:

Him – wait, you are _currently_ living here?
Me – this is a palace compared to where I’ve been. I slept on an air mattress for 2 months.

But I’m tired of it, tired of my jogging pants, you probably are too, but the end is so close guys… a little more electrical work, build my couch, unroll my carpet, then all I have to do is live in it, easy.
