Yesterday I enrolled in Subaru's "My Subaru" portion of their website. In enrolling, it asks for VIN number and pulls up the model (2010 Subaru Forester). This one is a dark red variation (I think it's called Camellia Red Pearl). Interestingly enough, the only time I got a car in a color I preferred was when I had my first car which we bought used from a friend of my brother-in-laws. It was a 1985 Honda Civic hatchback. When it became more expensive to fix it than it was worth due to body rust, I bought a new 1999 Honda Civic Coupe in white in July of 1999 which was the end of the model year so I ended up with a white one. (To melt the snow and ice on the roads in Western, PA, the municipalities use salt, the side effect of this is that car bodies rust fairly quickly.) Once again, because I had to get a vehicle quickly after my 1999 Civic was totaled in an accident (no one was hurt, both cars were driveable, no airbags deployed, etc.), I ended up buying this 2010 Forester. All three cars were/are manual transmissions and that is a factor in this. But I think that it is ironic that for the two new cars that I've purchased, I didn't get to choose the color I wanted. To get back to the "My Subaru" site, it asks if the car has a name. Now I don't usually name my cars but for this one I put RubyRod (a play on Ruby Rhod from the Fifth Element). But, in reality, I won't really be calling my car that. . . much.

And now that it's a week a way from Millennicon, I've finally started organizing my beads and thinking about making things from them again. Well, I suppose better late than never.

And the new yarn store near me is having it's grand opening sale the weekend I'll be at Millennicon.

And now that I say I might not be posting very often, I've posted more often than usual.

This is the item I'm making for the swap on Ravelry.
I hope there is a picture here. )
