I have no idea why my red bars don't show up -- how frustrating!
Well I suppose I can't get away with just posting a quiz since it's been so long since I've written here.
Here's all the news that's fit to print:
1. We didn't do the puzzle. I finally read the box -- it's almost 10' long when it's finished! (if I did the math correctly, which is always problematic seeing as I'm enumerate due to dyslexia). It's sitting in its box, waiting for some saw horses & long planks and next summer.
 2. The van had an encounter of the unpleasant kind, and didn't survive the experience. This was an unmitigated disaster -- it happened while I was in another town, training for my new job. And it was the sole means of transporting the goods to be sold in my little business. I had a big games the next weekend, so I rented a UHaul truck -- a financial disaster! The next two smaller games I got to by hook or by crook. The last games of the season I had to let go by, since I couldn't afford to rent anything else.
 But I do know what I want to buy to replace it: an HHR. These are the cutest little guys, but cuteness isn't what sold me on them. The seats sit straight up! Yes, instead of some buckety, faux lumbar seat which just kills my poor back, they sit straight up. And there's enough leg room so that my left leg doesn't go weird on me (which it tends to do if it's cramped up too long, ever since I twisted it so badly in Texas several years ago). And the back seats fold down so you can have cargo room. I am really jonesin' for one -- but I can't afford it now. Sigh. So I got the old Ford Ranger back up on its tires, and hope it lasts for another year or so, until I can acquire an HHR.
3. The new job seems to be going well, despite the proximity to my daughter. I'm going to be made full time permanent starting Nov. 1, which is absolutely terrific! I love telecommuting -- love being able to walk in my office with a cup of coffee in my hand, sit down & go to work in my jammies. I love being able to get the laundry done while I'm working, love being able to decide to go sit on the patio in the delicious autumn sunlight and read for an hour or two, and then work longer at night to make up the hours. What's not to like?!!
Well, the pay could be a bit better. I still need to augment it, at least until I can get a raise. Not sure how I'm going to do that because I'm not sure I'm going to continue with the haggis biz. I'll get it sorted though, & let you know.
4. It's Indian summer! Last week was chilly and rainy, and I thought about soups and stews, and cocooning. Today was in the 80s, and I craved a BLT for dinner. Stopped by the store & got the bacon and a tomato and fixed myself one too. The last of the season, I'm sure.
