Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Aww Noah. But yes, not having the meltdown is impressive.

I'll take a picture of the whole thing. My mom got it at a fair up in Santa Fe or Ruidoso. It's awesome. I'm going to need another soon.

Mom knows my love of seaglass (collected a lot at Port Bou in Spain, years ago.)

Give me a minute to upload.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh he was heartbroken, but he didn't have a fit, which was impressive. I made it up to him by buying a DK Star Wars/Lego book.

Awesome, Little Man! That's hard to recover from. Those books rock, though. We have several. Probably five or six.

Ah, Noah.

Bev: [link] please everyone ignore the card floating on the posts and the pencil marks on the wall. I keep meaning to erase that and then forget.

Because books.

That's a really cool rack, sara.

Poor Noah! Way to rally, buddy.

Thank you, aurelia!

All my mom. Honestly, the few pairs I've gotten myself, I am so much more ambivalent about (not counting the Nepal ones. Those I channeled Mother and it worked.)

Aww... I keep waiting for someone to say, "Nice rack, sara!"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Perkins, that could be the mass air flow (MAF) sensor. What can happen is that the sensor gets dirty, and it thinks the fuel is too lean or too rich, and so the light comes on. This can lead to unnecessary -- and expensive -- repairs, when all you need to do is pull the sensor and clean it.

You can take you car to Auto Zone or a similar store and have them hook their code reader up to your car to tell you why the light came on (the engine problems have codes). If the code is either "fuel too lean" or "fuel too rich," odds are very good it's the MAF sensor.

I don't know how you feel about doing your own work under the hood, but I think that even being able to take it to a mechanic and say, "pull and clean the MAF sensor, please," will ensure the right thing gets fixed.

I've had to pull and clean my MAF sensor twice in the 7 years I've had the spud, and it's kind of a pain, but not that tough. Plus I felt all badass for being able to fix my car.

Wow. That is a fantastic earring rack & jewelry storage. Where did you find it?
