I love having a Garage!

Especially one that my CAR fits in!!!!!

I've started this new thing where I go for a brisk walk in the morning wearing my MBT shoes and carrying some small weights. Believe it or not, I'm up and walking around 6:30am - and try to walk for a half hour. So I've noticed the last few chilly mornings all the frosted over cars, people coming out to start their cars so they'll defrost, and people scraping. And the whole time I've been SOOO thankful for my garage.

I mean - when I left the house to head to work at 8am - it was 32degrees out. So imagine it was at least a few degrees colder at 6:30am. And I've NEVER had a garage to park a car in before....so I used to be one of those people that was standing outside scraping...or starting the car 20 minutes early so it would defrost and warm up on its own WITHOUT me having to do the scraping. And even last winter I didn't get to take advantage of my garage...because there was so much stuff EVERYWHERE inside that my car didn't fit! But not anymore....and I'm in love with my garage!

Now if only I can move up to a house with a TWO car garage so that I can park inside AND have plenty of storage space. And maybe a smaller car so I can fit it without having to touch the storage boxes in front of the garage (I've already had one accident with that that left some lovely marks on my hood thanks to 4 storage containers coming down on the car!).

HSBC Sucks

Okay..Monday I call HSBC to find out how to do the wire transfer. I'm told there's an automated system and to allow 24-48 hours for the wire to go through. This morning, I call HSBC to do the wire transfer, told to use the automated system, I need the telephone access code. If I can't find that, my only option is to go directly to a branch. (and I have NO idea what this telephone access code is). Get home, FIND the access code. Call in, actually FIND the automated system, it tells me wire transfers are not permitted with internet banking accounts. Transfers me to the third dude. He apologizes for all the misinformation, says my ONLY option is to log onto my account and use "bankmail" ask them to overnight me a check which I'd have by Friday morning assuming they receive my mail and process it by tomorrow morning at 11am. I ask him how I know my bankmail will be received right away so that I can actually GET the check by Friday AM, and not get a "we'll...

Striped Socks with an Afterthought Heel

Though not on my original list for this year's knitting goals, I taught myself something new! You see, one of my friends has been obsessed with knitting striped socks. And the more pictures and things I see the more intrigued I get. I'm waiting on a couple of gorgeous orders from Twisted Limone . But I was getting impatient. I was on the Knit Picks site looking for new cables to replace a few coming apart in my interchangeable set and while browsing came across the Felici . At that super affordable price I ordered enough for 4 pairs of socks. :) I cast on for my first pair about, um, 10 minutes after the mailman delivering my package on Saturday June 25. I finished Saturday July 2. That MAY be a new record for me. Though the real record is I finished 1 sock in just over 24 hours! Anyway, here are the finished product. I did lots of reading online to get some inspiration on how to actually go about doing this. Yarn Harlot has a blog post on this, but I wasn't sure I ...
