lauragarabedianSo after the previous disaster day, I took a drive around my neighborhood to figure things out some more, and later discussed my successes/failures/strategies (yes I have strategies *LIES*) with my brother, whose first car (which he still has) is stick.
It was pointed out that the first day I wore my chucks, did fine, second, wore chacos (fave shoes EVER but really thick soles) did horribly, third wore my Five fingers did great... so until I get the hang of this more, thin soled shoes it is. But, in other news, haven't stalled the car since! Course this probably means as soon as I go to get backing board for the show I will stall at the 75/beltline intersection and be T-boned by a 18 wheeler - or a runaway elephant, but still, hooray for small successes.
In other news we had crepe night the other night. Glorious glorious crepe night. Savory crepes included, a steak and worchestershire concoction, a chicken pesto, and a sausage and mushroom. Sweet crepes included cookie dough, nutella and the WINNER for the night, chocolate eclair crepes, which were amazingly fantastically crazily wonderful. NOM.
And last but not least, here, have art! Still doing a playing card a week, still enjoying the heck out of it!
Bye now!

It's funny, but I can't drive in sandals. Like, at all, which is sort of hilarious because I live near the beach. Every time I go to a beach, I wind up driving home barefoot, which is a lot different. Which Five Fingers do you have? I've been thinking about getting a pair.

:) Good to know I'm not the only one! Ummm the five fingers... I'm honestly not sure, got them on sale somewhere, they have a thin mesh cover over most of them (i.e. not just the strap across) I really like them, but I do tend to walk around barefoot at all times given the option :)
