My Prius and I are in a fight.

But I think it's winning.

Don't get me wrong I love my Prius, the gas mileage, how it drives, etc.; it's the headrest I have issues with. I've never had a car where the headrest has driven me crazy like this. If my hair is down we have no issues but at the end of the day and my hair is up in a ponytail or a messy knot (it's the end of the day) my headrest becomes my enemy.

 It does this by making me hold my head forward in a really uncomfortable position. It's like the school yard bully holding my head forward. So every evening I throw it on the passenger side floor. I have tried to get used to it. I tried adjusting my seat back back farther. I just look like a ghetto gangster thug wannabe. Great. I tried adjusting the mirror but I still have my neck pulled forward and I can't ignore it.

The issue is that my new bright shiny car looks like it's somehow defective when I have to pull the headrest off every night but I'm not conceding throwing my hair up. So every evening we fight and every morning we make up.

At the drop of a hat.

If you know me (and you all do) I love music, love, love, love it. But there is one song that has stuck with me over the years in the sense that I can sing it at the drop of a hat. I don't need any music or anything to remember all the words. It's not all that up lifting but I find it beautifully haunting. It's the Cowboy Junkies cover of Mining for Gold. I grew up listening to this album on cassette but for some reason I don't own it at all now in any digital form. It helps that it's a cappella and short and I'll be surprised if I ever forget it.

And I'm always curious, is there something you can do at the drop of hat and you know you'll always be able to?



And turkeys! Isaac and I found them roaming the streets this weekend.

Apparently I'm not a Sagittarius I'm a Ophiuchus *updated*

This is messed up.

I've always been told/known that I'm a Sagittarius but now apparently the astrologers got it wrong and I'm actually a Ophiuchus. I've tried to find out what the personality traits of this sign are but so far there really is nothing besides some people saying that it's a cross between a Sagittarius and a Scorpio.

Really!?! I mean that's the best you can give me? Not only do you give me a whole new sign that rhymes with mucus but you don't even tell me anything about it other than it's after an actual individual. Great, cause that helps me. Maybe get your crap together and then tell me all about my new sign. 

P.S. I liked being a Sagittarius, a lot.  (Yes I know you only use P.S. as an addendum to a letter but this is important).


Also instead of being a kick ass archer centaur I am now a snake holder. Um, I don't want that connotation because you know everyone's mind is going to go there.



Part of this is funny because according to the old chart (everyone has three signs) and mine are/were (so confused) Sagittarius, Scorpio and Virgo. So I've already got the Sagittarius and the Scorpio covered, so I guess my personality was already right on? But now I don't know if the Scorpio and the Virgo are correct because everything's been shifted. 


The funniest part of all is that everyone's shifted. Isaac is now a Leo and not a Virgo etc.


Apparently my new sign is either one of these (it's so new they are still deciding on a sign):

You know what? I really liked the old system. (slight under exaggeration)

Oh, thank god.

Oh, I don't know...

Sometimes I look at my blog and just think I'm silly. As in I make myself look stupid and I talk about inane things. And another part of myself loves this side of me because I'm pretty sure life would be useless without laughter and fun. I feel like I don't show my intelligence and or that I can be taken seriously enough.

But yet I've been told that I'm a serious, assertive and take charge kind of person. I'm still trying to see these things in myself. And I do from time to time but it's kind of weird when these are some of the first words about me out of people's mouths. I don't know if I come across the same way on here as in person.

Anyways, here's a book I really want to read:

And something really stupid it's a watch Kanye West had made for himself with his own image on it and cost about 180,000. Also it looks like it has two dials!?!? Is he really in that many time zones everyday or is he just so bad at telling time that he needs something to compare one dial against?

Another reason why snow makes me happy.

It's a lot like sunlight.

Believe it or not I took these last night around 10 p.m. at my house and I didn't use a flash or anything the snow is that bright. I think this is why you never hear of depressed Eskimos.

Why the British are actually Pirates...

1. They call all their friends mates.

2. It's an Island.

3. They write piratey drinking songs.



Okay, so she's from New Zealand but that's an Island too and I'm pretty sure that's a good indicator that you're a pirate.


4. Apparently they start them out young because they even dress their babies as pirates.

Look!

This is what my father in law is making for me. Isn't it awesome! I'm so excited!! He's really talented with woodworking and he is making it off pictures I took. I'm the only one who gets one. :)

Did I mention I was excited?

Sorry the video is so crappy.
