Love my bag

By Cathy the Librarian from West Henrietta, NY on 1/17/2010

 

4out of 5

Pros: Comfortable, Rugged

Cons: Uncomfortable Strap

Best Uses: Baby bag, Commuting

Describe Yourself: Office Professional

Primary use: Personal

I wish that the bags came standard with the compression straps and the strap pad. I had purchased a small bag in the past, which is fine without either, but I also can’t carry as much. This time I got the medium one and I think it could do with some cinching in when I don’t have tons and some padding for my shoulder when I do have tons. It seems that the bigger the bag I carry the more stuff I have.
Otherwise I love love love my bag. The colors are nice and vibrant and the quality is outstanding. I use it for an everyday bag and baby bag and I’m pretty hard on everything I have, so this is perfect for me. Yay for Timbuk2!

New car AT LAST!

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

I just got my new Subaru Outback and I LOVE IT! What a great car! It’s not as convenient as the Mazda with its sliding doors and three rows, but its definitely a nicer car. I love having a hill-holder clutch again and I’m sure the heated seats will be delightful in the winter. Right now, I’m mostly grateful that I can drive again. At first I was going to get a Subaru Legacy, which is a sedan. Nice, but not the station wagon/ hatchback that I really wanted. Jeff spoke to Carl, who is the most wonderful salesman EVER, and after some sleuthing he found out that an Outback was due to come in a couple of days before the Outback. ACES!!! You are awesome Carl (and Jeff) and my new Outback is even more awesome. I love driving again. Yippee!

My car is GONE.

Leila and I were driving to pick up Jack at daycare today and while we were going straight another car turned left into us. I tried swerving out of the way, but the right side of my car still hit pretty hard and my airbag went off.

We’re both okay, but my car isn’t. Jeff thinks that it might not be totaled, but it looks really awful to me. I guess time will tell. I don’t want to be without a car. Bleh.

I always wear safety glasses when I brush my teeth, why shouldn’t he?

More excuses

Where do I find the time?
Jeff has many of them on his camera
The baby puked on them

We’ll have camping pictures from fourth of July weekend… ah camping horrible and delightful. We’ll also have pictures today of Jack getting his first library card. Plus a lot of random photos that, as I said, are on Jeff’s camera.

Oh well. We’ll get them up someday.

We’re in a car group called LOONY (Lotus Owners of New York) and there are quite a few people that own newer cars that look like this. Do these cars impress Jack? Oh no! Not him. He prefers his buddy Lyn’s 77 Esprit. What a classy kid we have! 🙂
