Happy Birthday Rach!
Lately I've had some interesting things going on. They had a Pine Car Derby at work - my boss's kid is in the boy scouts. They set up a race track at work, and all the guys were busy building cars. I overheard them talking about a premade kit you could buy at Hobby Lobby, so I went home, bought one, and made a car that night.
I painted it black, and it came with flame stickers. I painted a Cobra on the front, and on the sides "Cobra" over the flames. I brought Cobra car to work, and it beat everyone's! I placed 2nd out of 20 cars, and narrowly took 1st place by 1 race, the other car beat mine by 1/2 inch.
All the men were angry. One guy even took the day off to 'craft' the fastest car, and his didn't even make it to the finals. One of our managers brought in a sand blaster and was making his car the day before the race. It was slow! :D I had so much fun, and they were so mad at me!
I swear, so much around that place is about what hangs between your legs. I'm glad I made them eat their defeat, and they know better than to underestimate me.
Raffy and I went out for Sushi with Cobra Car to celebrate with hot sake and an LIR roll. I had a great week!

Yay sushi!!
I ate thirty dollars worth of sushi for my birthday. It was soooooo tasty.
That cat is amazing. Perfect. :)
Yay for wins~! I remember in Western Sky when we had to make our little cars too. Mine was thick and bulky, but it won third place, just because I had a good sense of timing.
Thanks for birthday posts. I'll be posting shortly. :)
Haaaa and no post has appeared!
Hi Leah! Congrats on winning the race! I would have lost. I remember in an elementary science class we built little cars and mine won second, cause the winner was the teacher who just stuck wheels on an axle to show that simple is faster.
Cheater.
Anywho. Hello! I had a horrible dream about quadruplets last night.
