The day after I finished the socks... I had big plans....I was going to run out to Starbucks, grab a chai tea and come home and paint my bedroom and bathroom. As soon as I put those socks on, the phone rang...my friend is inviting me to meet her for coffee.... despite the afore mentioned good intentions... I say "SURE! I'll meet ya for coffee!"....but hey, maybe an hour of painting time lost right? And that would be true if I hadn't made a detour to the Auto Mall on my way home...so .... 7 hours later.... I own this:
What's the problem you ask??? What got painted???? NOTHING!! Did I actually sell my old car first? NO. Did I trade it in? NO. Did I do careful research and comparison shopping like I normally would...NO...well some but not nearly enough!!!!
(Ok, I have been thinking about it...looking a little) But I had no intention of doing what I did this weekend!
And worst of all... my poor sister was waiting for me to help with her socks... instead we drove this baby to lunch and over yummy pasta on the patio we stared at this thing until we'd convinced me that it was pretty enough to buy. Not to mention how nice it drives and.... oh my lots of room for hauling yarn around in!
Which brings me back to the beginning.... it was the crazy chocolate socks that made me do it!

You know it would make a great birthday present to me . . . I would even let you continue to make the payments!!!!! . . . I wonder what color of socks I should knit to go with the mini van I want or even better I should have you call up my hubby and invite him for coffee . . . hmmmmmmmm??? You sure do look pretty in it!!!!!!
Lets go shopping!! I like that you can haul a ton of yarn in that bad-boy. Will you be the offical vehile of "Stitches West or Bust"?? LOL.
That seems like a lot of vehicle for little ol' you ... and with gas prices what they are these days too! You must be rich, honey!
