DCV Dr. Pepper

It's been a pretty slow week... nothing too exciting planned for the weekend either. Lots of fixes on the "Jackass" (my Isuzu Rodeo) by John, who installed new rotors and brake pads on Monday, and made an emergency fix of the driver's windshield wiper mechanism during last night's torrential downpour. Now if we can only figure out why Jackass squeals when started and the engine is cold from sitting overnight. It doesn't seem to be the belts and I'm hoping it's not something too expensive to fix.

I am also in the midst of finally completing a summer sweater for my sister-in-law, Ann. This was to be her birthday present (from last month!), but knitting it has been a little slow. It's made from Bamboo yarn, which is in this really beautiful Tequila Sunrise colourway, but not as soft as one would think it would be. It feels soft on the skein, but once knitted, it was a little scratchy. I hope she'll like it anyway. I'm also giving socks a try and will post some pics once I'm done.

Have you tried the (fairly) new Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper? Diet sodas have come a looooong way, for those who are not fans of diet soda. Although I know WATER is the ultimate diet beverage (and I do drink a lot of that as well!!!), if you've been thinking of switching to a diet soda to cut some calories, give this soda a try! It is YUMMY! Have an awesome weekend and if you're going to a party, take some DCV Dr. P along!
