New Fashion For Fall

A style that is both cute and warm....

Nightswimming!

It got to 97 degrees here in Seattle this weekend, and we were sweltering, cuz we're definitely not used to it. So on Saturday night round midnight we emerged from our air conditioned bedroom and realized that it was a full moon, and that there was a big empty lake two blocks from our place.

YAY! Nightswimming!! The water is kinda icky, and you definitely want to wear water shoes and not swallow, but still. So nice. Just the right temp too--not freezing cold, not icky lukewarm. Good times. :-)

Tango Traveling Trashbag

My work has been really really slow since August started. Too many folks on vacation means not enough for Holly's to do. So I got home today at 12:30p...instead of 3p like normal. So I made this adorawahble reusable trash bag for the Element. It's got a big red car on it! It's got lots of little Artie Monsters on it! :-)

Retardo & Elly Belly's Newest Toy

This weekend Retardo and I went car shopping together and came home with a shiny new Red Tango Honda Element. Iz Purty! And we can sleep in it! :-) The camping accessories are still at the store--we should have them installed this Friday so we can begin our new life as (weekend) gypsys! Yay!

In other news, I just found out that my little Mazda Protege has been declared a total loss by the insurance company, so it looks like Retardo and I have become a 1 car household in less than a week. Good thing I gots my name on the Element insurance policy....cuz if I get rearended again my neck may fall from aches n' pains.
