i'm awesome

yes, i said it. i'm awesome. today, i changed my own flat tire in under 13 minutes. not that i was timing myself. i was on the way to ogden to babysit when i ran over (not on purpose) an unidentified road hazard. my brand new tire with less than 500 miles on it is now flat. i'll get it fixed tomorrow. so i called sarah at 330 to let them know i might be late, and i called again at 343 to see if eric had left to come rescue me yet because i was done already. that's 13 minutes.

also, my new mental floss t-shirt from my last post only cost $7. i preordered their new book (which sounds hilarious) and they sent me a coupon for a $5 shirt (+ $2 s&h). as much as i like their shirts, i'd never pay full price for them.

in other news, i've had a very successful sewing week.
  • new fleece jacket (lime green with dark grey contrast)
  • matching fleece hat
  • new pillowcase for my new camping pillow. i even put some ties on it so that i can roll the pillow up to make it nice and compact for my backpacking trip on tuesday.
  • i also converted a cardigan into a wrap shirt for a friend.

so yeah, i'm awesome.

I agree! You are awesome! Dad will want to read your book, you know. :) When are you leaving and when will you be back? Yes, I know! That is such a mom question. :)

so what shirt did you get from mental floss? there are too many good ones from which to choose.
i agree. your dad will probably want to take a look at your new book. be sure to loan it to him as soon as it becomes a used book.

i got the shirt "hyperbole is the best thing ever!" it was a tough choice, as i also was considering "apathy, i could take it or leave it" and "inconsistency, it has it's ups and downs" i will be sure to let my anonymous reader read my new book once i see him again.
