today i learned how to eat with chopsticks! it was so easy! i guess i never had a good teacher before. right away i was picking up bok choy, cabbage, spinach, carrots, broccoli, eggplant, noddles, and tofu and dipping into the apple and peanut sauces!
i also got my car back from the auto body repair shop. i got new headlights and blinkers (even though the front blink was out for months before the wreck). they also put in a new rearview mirror. the old one fell out in the summer of 2006 when i was living in stl. the day was incredibly hot and the adhesive gave. i had been driving without one ever since. the shop also put on a new hood, and painted my car to blend! it's so shiny! and they detailed the inside!!
it smells like new car in there, and i would think that it was if i didn't know any better! only cost $250!
i will admit that was kind of hoping that they were just going to total it and give me a lump sum and then i wouldn't have to deal with having a car. i ended up driving to work today, and parking in my spot in the covered, heated, underground garage. i plan on leaving it there except for school so i don't have to dig it out of the snow and slide around on unplowed streets. i prefer tuning out on the north line compared to sitting in gridlock anyday, anyway.
i baked some really good chocolate chip cookies yesterday. they are delicious! i've got a nice recipe for a strawberry torte i'm going to try later this week.
we're watching movies right now.
