Being too social...

A low level of lots of things has been going on for about a month now...

Adam aged and there was events related to it that took up time. We've been contemplating moving and viewing a number of places as part of that-- have since given up that idea for a while. Adam's mother was in town and then my sister was in town. We've been out hiking, there've been some parties and general GWS House gatherings involving food.

Overall most of my time has been diverted towards being social rather then crafty... which is fun but leaves me with little to show for it all... I've got a continuos low level urge to really buckle down and craft but keep failing to find a solid block of time... alas. Soon. I keep thinking soon...

I do have one thing to show for the social though... Had a company off-site last Friday... split into teams and built soap-box like cars. Our team was awesome and won, obviously. Not only was it the fastest (too fast as the video below shows) but it also went the furthest. We were team P.R.U.D.E-- Princes Rainbow Unicorn Dragon Elf. That's what happens when there's too many girls on the team... Our car was AWESOME. It had a masking tape unicorn skull on the front and a heavy metal chain you could hold hold. Our slogan was "Ride the Beast".

Below is a photo of me racing (or attempting to race) the car for the first time. It wasn't the first time I'd been in it while it was moving, but it was the first time going that fast and on that part of the hill... Obviously someone else on our team clocked the fastest time...

No one was hurt in the making or racing of the cars. We had ~4.5 hrs to make them. Only scraps/parts from our company's garage were allowed.
