There is a slight chance I may have lost sight of the fact that I had a blog.

Since I last posted...

My nephew was born.

I got in a car accident, in which my car was totalled, but I was not much injured and I got a new car just like my old one. I installed the front license plate bracket myself. As I was doing so, I saw the first snowflakes I'd seen this winter. One landed on the cuff of my jacket and I think it was very dry snow because it did not melt, and you could actually see the six-pointed snowflake shape. One of those moments where you can hardly breathe.

I think my landlady also got in a car accident after which her car was not worth fixing, as a little while ago I saw her car with the hood bent, and now that car is gone and there is a different car here. It is red. Her old one was green. She must have learned that red cars are the best from seeing mine.

I have become a Tim Tang Test victim.

I have eaten a lot of soup (all of which I made from scratch - soup from a can is not soup).

I have learned that a little tilt can have a big impact.

I have learned that American Gladiators is coming back! Yay!

I have learned that my cats now like catnip after all, and I have got them a Kitty Cube and some springs.

Now, here is a helpful hint for everyone. How do you know if your house/apartment is too big? You take the residents and a (red) Dirt Devil canister vac. You each take a turn with the vacuum, and in each person's turn the plug must remain in the same socket. If you can't vacuum the whole house this way, your house is too big. Parents are allowed to take the kid turns if the kids are little - the point is, the number of places the plug is plugged should not exceed the number of residents.
