Update...




So...
Matai is now 2 months. Wow.
He loves to eat (as you can see)...
Drools non-stop...
Smiles whenever you raise your eyebrows...
Laughed for the first time the day he turned 2 months (thanks Aunty Lia!)...
Coos, screams, cries, gurgles...
Looks mad most of the time (or maybe he's just in really deep thought, haha)...
Fits into 6 month outfits...
Enjoys making everyone hold him standing up (or else the mad-dog comes out)...
Makes mommy happy all day!

The Love Monster

Matai is 1 month today! We went to the doctor yesterday to get him checked and he's doing great. He weighs 10lbs now and has grown to 22 in.



Thursday, March 26

Here's what Scotty's been up to...
He had his 3rd birthday last month. Here's some pictures of him celebrating his little heart out! He loves to be outdoors and is always looking to have a good time. Scotty got to celebrate his 3rd birthday in the snow at Mammoth with his daddy and family. I wasn't sure how he would handle the snow but of course Scotty took to the slopes and loved every minute of it. We're with my family now and uncle Bristol suprised Scotty with a spiderman cake and spoiled him with gifts. My little man is growing up so fast! I love him soooo much!

Matai







Sorry it's taken so long but there are more to come! Matai is such a trooper...he was really sick this past week and the doctor said he was developing ear infections in both ears and he has bad congestion due to a cold he got from me, Scotty, and Brett. I feel terrible that my little guy has to go through this. He is feeling a lot better and is steadily gaining weight. I am amazed at how he is growing - he will be outgrowing the 0-3 month size clothing within the next week or two. Scotty is a great big brother, and always wants to kiss or hold his little brudder.

Thursday, March 5

He's Here!

He came a week early on Monday, March 2 (on my mom's birthday =).
We named him Matai Brett Meyer.
I don't have a way to put pictures up yet but I'll find a way.
He weighed 7lb 5oz and 20in.
Labor was quick and suprisingly easy compared to Scotty's birth.
From the way I see it he looks like Scotty did except more hair and has darker skin like his mommy.
Matai is healthy and active and we love him sooooo much!

5 Weeks and Counting

There's nothing really too exciting that is going on but several things to look forward to:
1. Scotty's 3rd Birthday!
2. Giving birth in March
3. Weddings in 2009 (Jordan, Caryn, Granny you know who you are! Yaaay!)
Sorry there's no pictures...I haven't been taking any. My pregnancy is going great. I'm just a little worried about the big day...I know what to expect now! haha.

Happy New Years!

Dear Savani,

I finished the Twilight saga a while ago and it was wonderful! I seriously couldn't put the books down. Now that I'm done reading them I feel like I can't get interested enough in another book, but that's how I was with all my other books. haha. I took Brett to see Twilight for our 4 year anniversary on monday (which was actually supposed to be on Sunday) and he liked it. Now he understands why I liked the books so much =). Watching the movie for the 2nd time around wasn't as great as I thought it would be...I didn't think Bella (in the movie) was very good. She studders too much and when she says her lines it comes off as a little too rehearsed. But who am I to judge? I stink at acting PERIOD. But Edward is still HOT. hehe.

We spent Christmas in Las Vegas and Brett got to go to the BYU Bowl game. Too bad they lost but it was a good experience for him to stand in the freezing air. Scotty, my mom, and me got super sick (yacking and all) and that was no fun. But Scotty was able to go to Circus Circus and go on the fun rides. It was really fun seeing my family.

Guess what I get to do now? Go to the dentist and get my wisdom tooth YANKED. yippie!

Wednesday, December 3

Uh Oh

Just wanted to tell all you Twilight freaks out there that I've joined the club! haha. I was totally not going to read the books. I went to see the movie just to find out what the hype was all about. The movie was really cute and I immediately knew I had to start reading the books because Edward is soooo amazing!=). Since I'm done with reading Twilight I NEED to read New Moon, but someone is stopping me -- Brett! He hates when I read books because I get so into them and forget that he exists. haha. I'm not exaggerating.

Tagged

1. Link this post to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. List 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
5. Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up

6 Random Facts about ME.
(I just want to warn you that you could get majorly grossed out)

1. I can dance hula, but I can't dance Samoan. Well I guess it's cuz I never really tried. Pretty sad huh! The first and only time I've ever danced Samoan was at my wedding.

2. Since I became pregnant this time around, I got the curse of the vericose veins. I heard it's hereditary and I know that I got it from my grandma. The good news is that I only have two huge veins popping out on my thighs and they are likely to go away after I give birth. But, the bad news is that with every pregnancy from now on I will have more and more! Ewwwww.

3. Content Warning!!! I hate having big boobs. I hate it, hate it, hate it! They just get in the way. period. I threatened Brett that I will get a boob reduction when I turn 40, haha. How I wish there was a magical pill to shrink these two problems away.

4. I get really freaked out when I go snorkeling. If I try hard enough I can last for 20 mins. but if I see something that even looks a little scary I'm done. I also get paranoid that a shark will appear out of nowhere and eat my leg or something. Surfing is different because I can't really see what's underneath me. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

5. I hate eating mixed fruit. I stay clear of fruit salad because all the fruit is mushed together. And, I can't eat oranges as easily as other people because I hate the smell of it as it lingers on my fingers or clothes and breath. Plus, it's super messy and I don't like the sticky feeling after I eat oranges. I have to totally be in the mood to eat an orange and it usually has to be cold. So picky huh.

6. I've gotten pretty random comments about my looks or the way I speak. Some people have said I look mauri, or tahitian, or hawaiian. When I tell them I'm Samoan some of them are in disbelief, but usually they just shrug and say "oh." I've also had people ask where I'm from and when I tell them Hawaii they say something like "you don't sound like how they talk" like I'm supposed to talk pigeon. I guess I just switch it on and off. I usually feel more comfortable talking pigeon to people I've known for a while and can speak pigeon. Otherwise, I feel it's no use.

I tag anyone who hasn't done this...

Gone Fishin'

Scotty the Fisherman
Here are pictures of Scotty at June Lake...I know, I was supposed to post these pictures like 6 months ago. Everytime I look at these pictures I remember that this was the week I found out I was pregnant. I'm so amazed at how much Scotty has grown and how much better he talks, but I miss the way he used to talk (as you'll see in the video).

MOded.

Here's another one of my infamous substitute experiences.
I got to my job site (a local high school) and got the key and attendance folder from the secretary. She warned me that the room I would be in is very SMALL. When I got there, I immediately think she forgot to mention CLAUSTROPHOBIC and STUFFY because there were absolutely NO WINDOWS. Oh and it looked like a storage room (as you can see from the picture above). When the last bell rang I had NO STUDENTS in class. On a day like this I actually wanted students to monitor! So I waited and waited and waited. When 15 minutes of nothing got to me I busted out my camera and documented my torturous experience. Then about 15 minutes til the next class began a security guy opened the door and said something like, "You're in the wrong class. The students are waiting for you in another class." I guess I should have known because there was NO LESSON PLAN to be seen anywhere and I was in an empty room. I felt like a DORK. AGAIN. Even though it wasn't my fault.

Tagged + Halloween Part 2

Tagged by Malia

Basic rules....List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts, and then tag 5 other people. Leave a comment for the people you tag so they know they have been tagged.

3 Joys:

1. My 3 boys - Scotty and Brett and Baby Jr. (nah, that definitely won't be his name!). I wouldn't be able to function properly without them...*sniff*

2. I must say that I find so much JOY in eating really good food. Like when I ate taro, chicken, rice, lupulu, pankeke, and chop suey. It brought me true JOY. mmmmm....

3. Surfing. Even though I don't go anymore. I know that when I do surf again it'll be pure bliss. I have so many JOYFUL memories of surfing.

3 Fears:

1. My kids passing away. I am so paranoid when Scotty leaves my sight or goes with someone somewhere without me. I have this inner debate with myself. One half is saying, "Don't worry, be happy he's having a new experience without YOU," but the other half is saying, "Noooo! That's my baby and I want him back!"

2. Driving our car and something really bad happens, like the wheels fall off.

3. Going bankrupt or getting into major debt. Can't tell you why I just got a loan for many thousands of dollars to go back to school though. But mostly not being able to pay for medical bills if anyone of us gets really sick and then having to file for bankruptcy.

3 Obsessions:

1. Looking online at homes for sale. Everyday I open up my email just so I can scan the MLS listing of homes for sale in Costa Mesa. But, after a 3 minutes I remember that I can't afford one right now and stop looking. It's a perpetual cycle.

2. Looking at the same Canon SLR for sale on Amazon. Wanting one but knowing I can't is such a BUMmer. Then again, Christmas is coming up!

3. El Ranchito. I ate there twice and LOVED the salsa there. It was really spicy and had chunks of tomatoes and onions. Sooo good!

3 Suprising Facts:

1. I've never gotten a traffic ticket even though I've run red lights, almost hit other cars, and forget to turn my headlights on occasionally.

2. I've never made spam musubi. I would buy it or bum it off someone but I don't think I've ever made it myself. Rachel Johnson and Makana Whitford made da best spam musubis.

3. Every now and then I will randomly cut my own hair. I just did it a week ago and it's about shoulder length. I hate going into hair salons and having the lady look at my huge afro and start to cut it in front of people. This one time I got my hair thinned out and by the time she was done we were both standing in a black cloud of hair from my bush. It was embarrassing to say the least! haha.

I tag anyone who feels like sharing!

HALLOWEEN PART 2

I know Halloween is over but I want to add a few more pictures of from that night. Scotty was such a great trooper. He wasn't quite sure what to expect when we ventured out of the house and started walking down the street that night. It must have seemed odd to him that he was the only kid out there dressed like batboy. Since our neck of the woods was BARE we headed over to another side of town. Scotty was probably the first trick-o-treater in the whole neighborhood. Anyway, when Scotty knocked on the door to the first house and said "trick-o-treat" and got free candy he was so pumped. He immediately said "let's go to the next house!" My little batboy caught quick on to this age old tradition. I kept on asking him if he was tired and he refused to go home because the thought of him missing out on free candy was unimaginable. Yet, when he and daddy came to this one house they got a pretty good scare by a man pretending to be a mannequin that jumped up and spooked them when they got too close. After that incident, Scotty was over it. He's such a scaredy cat like his daddy.

An empty jack-o-lantern waiting to be filled.



Scotty was so excited to celebrate Halloween!

"Where's the other trick-o-treaters, Mom?"

Scotty's Jack Pot!

Fast Food - Mmmmm Yummy!

A while ago, I went on a little fishing trip to June Lake. On the way there, my mother-in-law stopped at a fast food joint to get a soda; as we waited for the drink, this is what I saw above the cashier's window. GROSS! After reading this, it definitely reconfirmed my feelings of disgust for nearly all fast food chains. I will not touch anything that comes from McDonalds, Jack-in-the Box, Wendy's, Taco Bell, or any other chain of this sort. I was not always anti-fast food, but it's been years since I've touched anything from these places. I've just heard too many horror stories. And honestly, the food tastes horrible and you feel worse after eating it! I just think it is freakin outrageous to be buying food from a place that has a label warning people about birth defects, cancer, or reproductive harm! Yet, I will admit that I do occassionally cruise over to Inn-n-Out to have a burger. Sound hypocritical? My only rebuttal is that they they don't have a warning sign above their window and their food is fresh-n-natural, I hope. The same goes for Chipotle; however, I don't frequent either one of these places any more because the taste isn't the same for me. My hubby says it's because I'm pregnant and he's been noticing irregularities in my food preferences. For instance, I love spaghetti. I made spaghetti 3 or 4 times in a week! I know I'm probably sounding a bit on edge and I'm not baggin' on anyone of you who eat at these places. To each his own!

It's Batman!


HALLOWEEN 2008 : PART ONE

Last week, we took Scotty to a ward Halloween party. He enjoyed himself so much! On the day of the party, I had to rush to find a batman costume because when I looked earlier that week all the stores I went to had soldout of batman costumes for his size. Luckily, I found Batman pajamas at Target that could pass for a Halloween costume =). Atleast it's comfortable, hehe. We got him a mask and gloves to fit the part. There'll be more pictures when tomorrow rolls around and he's out scavenging with the rest of the kids looking for treats! So stay tuned for Halloween Part Two.

Monday, October 27

here we go again

it's a BOY. and i'm poppin' him out on MARCH 9, hopefully.

about a week before we knew what we were having, brett had a dream of our little baby. in his dream he saw a little boy about one years old hitting scotty on the head and giving us a run for our money. after brett woke up he knew that we were having a boy - and he was absolutely right. gosh, why don't i get to have those dreams? i'm the one giving birth here! and it's not fair that he knew scotty was going to be a boy even when the ultrasound specialist told us he was going to be a girl.

Flashback

PHOTO FLASHBACK:
I thought it would be fun to do a flashback from last year's Halloween. Scotty was so fun to dress up - he actually kept his costume on the whole time. There was a little costume contest for the TVA kids, and my pirate won 1st place in his age group =). For this Halloween you'll see what Scotty chose to be in my next post! But don't worry, I won't be lame and post it next month, hehe. I'll actually post it this week! I can't wait to see all of your darlings dressed up to trick-o-treat this year.
p.s. thanks Ashley and Liko! I'm going to have fun blogging now...

Think POSITIVE

Karen here.
I am feeling LONELY.
I need FRIENDS.
Come visit ME.
Or pay for my FLIGHT
back HOME.
WAA WAA.

Kay, seriously, I wish I could come over and hang out. There comes a time when a girl just needs to have girl talk - and this is it for me. haha. Since I can't now, I guess I'll have to just talk and pretend like we're hanging out.

This past week I've been GLUED to the computer. The reason: I have this growing obsession that I need to buy something or do something worthwhile. I have never ever been the type of girl to want to buy a car but all of a sudden I totally want a car. I totally blame it on Hawaii. For the longest time I could just WALK anywhere; the bank, the beach, the store, friend's house, school, subway, ohana video, grama's house, surf. Now that I'm in Cali, everything requires a freakin CAR. So I've been doing some car research, mostly on used cars, and I see just a few cars that I like. But, when I look at the price tag, my head starts spinning. Having one car isn't enough!!! But I guess I have to live with it. Waa Waa.

Well, when I said that I feel like I need to do something worthwile I meant business. I going back to school!...once I get accepted, that is. haha. I've spoken to a counselor and now I just have to get the dang thing done! But it all falls back to MONEY honey. Geez, can't I escape this never ending cycle? Why does it nearly ALWAYS involve MONEY! So I'm going to apply for another Stafford Loan and hopefully everything falls into place. I'm going to get my masters in education with a single subject credential so I can teach high school english. Imagine that. The reason: I need money so I can afford to purchase a home, car, and pretty things. haha. And being a mommy should fit nicely with the work schedule and benfits. Then when I'm about 5 years into teaching I want to look into teaching at the junior college level. But that's a ways away. When I was in college, I thought I'd DIE before I ever became a teacher. I guess I suffered from major boredom so I never associated myself with the classroom. However, as I grow older, I realize that teaching is where I can make a start for myself. I can be with my kids all summer and winter during breaks. Medical benefits is also a major reason. But, if I get sick of dealing with teenies then I'll go a step higher and teach at the college level.

Besides all this, I'm totally back to NORMAL. Thank GOODNESS. I am about 16-17 weeks, according to my doctor. I was totally going to go to a guy doctor but I got weirded out so I canceled my appointment and found a woman doctor. Good thing I did cuz I felt totally at ease - just like I did with my doctor in Hawaii. I get my first ultrasound in 3 weeks and I'm stoked.

My Scotty is such a crack-up. I LOVE this little guy. He totally makes me smile even when he's asleep. Here's the lastest development with Scotty:

1. He's POTTY TRAINED! Okay, only during his waking hours. When he sleeps the diaper goes back on. Nooo way am I waking up to take him to pee. He wouldn't like that either.
2. He knows how to put his spiderman undies, shorts, and shirt on. Sometimes he needs a little help putting them on the right way, but hey it's progress right?
3. He speaks very well and is a great friend to other kids. I'm always getting compliments about him when others hear him speak. I love it when the nursery leader tells me, "Scotty is so quiet, is he like that at home?" Ohhh nooo ma'am.
4. One night he sat in the living room doing his 'homework'. I had nothing to do with it I swear. Then he shows me what he'd been working on. It was a page full of T's that he wrote from top to bottom (I need to post it). He's doing great with learning his letters. I think I wont have to worry too much with him at school =).

Okay that's enough. More than enough. Probably enough for another month. haha.

Scotty's Prayer

I bought Scotty the book of Mother Goose Rhymes a couple months ago and lately I think he's been getting a particular rhyme confused with his prayers. Here's how his prayer goes:

"Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankyou you for Grandpa, Grandma, Sister and a Wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Thankyou for the food.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen."

Now here's the nursery rhyme he's alluding to:

"The Three Blind Mice"
Three blind mice, three blind mice;
See how they run, see how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Have you ever seen such a sight
In your life as three blind mice!

How he got that part in there is a mystery to me! =)

LOLO HEAD

I'm a lolo brain. Just felt like saying that. Okay, this blog is going to be pretty strange because that's how I've been feeling these days. Here's a brief update of my life since I've abandoned my blog (starting with today):


- Scotty made me SUPER proud. He got over his anxiety of swimming without holding onto to me in the pool and now jumps into the water all by himself and can kick and paddle and hold his breath like a big boy! He lasts for a good 3 seconds =).


- I made an attempt at getting insurance so I can finally see a doctor but we'll see how that goes. Apparently I failed to realize that I only had a hospital certificate of Scotty's birth and not the real thing - that will probably delay things even more.


- I haven't been working. Feel like poop. Today I actually had hardly any barf/gag attacks. hehe.

- My baby daddy turned 31 in July. And our guests of honor AUTUMN and KENDALL and ALEMA came to celebrate! Sorry audz for not posting pictures yet. (Brett's probably gonna kill me for showing this picture!haha. Isn't he so babelicious haha. Okay maybe just to me.)


I'll probably think of more things later. Oh! I really need help from those of you who can. I NEED TO LEARN A SIMPLE HULA DANCE BY NEXT MONDAY. I was asked AGAIN to dance for a ward luau, but this time it's in front of single adults 30yrs. and older. LUCKY ME. I feel so UNPREPARED. I don't dance hula very often and so the only song I know is THE HUKILAU. pathetic huh. So all my keiki hula friends HELP A SISTER OUT! Anyone remember the song "Hene Hene Ko Aka" I don't even know if that's the title. I would love you to the moon and back if you could make a little video and post it on your blog so I can rehearse before monday. It can be of any song but I was thinking of that particular song because it kind of is meant for couples. Holla at your girl. =)

Funny Story.

Hey people! I'm back.


Scotty and I got back from a little getaway to June Lake with Grandma and Aunty Katie. We did a LOT of fishing, oh boy...I'm still recovering from staying out in the sun for 8 hours every day trying to catch trout. I'll have to post my pictures from our trip in my next entry because something SUDDENLY came up that I want to share with you all.

If you'll take a look at my BUCKET LIST for a second...scoll down to #67. There was a REASON why I put that toward the end of my list: I was trying to prepare myself PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, MONETARILY, and so on. I guess I was taking too long to prepare myself. I can't believe I'm saying this, AGAIN: I'M PREGNANT!

It's really funny that just over the past week or two Brett and I have told some people that we weren't ready for another baby. The best part of it all is that I probably was pregnant while we were saying it! How's that for a punch line.

I'm in that dreaded first phase, you know, the one where you constantly want to barf all day long and the only relief is when you're past out. I shouldn't complain because there are mother's out there who've gone through HELL and I'm pouting over this little episode I'm having. I'm sure it'll go away in two weeks...I hope. ha!

Oh the joys of motherhood. 9 months of bliss. yeah right. HELP!

Attempt at #11 of My Bucket List

My Little Water Boy

I am so proud of Scotty. He's learning how to hold his breath under water. I took a little clip of him holding his breath underwater with Daddy. He's showing alot of skin in this one (hehe) because he made doo doo in his trunks outside of the pool. I guess we have a long way to go before we'll ever see any progress with #6 of My Bucket List. But, atleast we're making a little headway with teaching him how to swim.


My little Fishy.


video

Tell me if you think Scotty looked like the girl in Whale Rider when she's riding the whale at the end of the movie. haha. Brett doesn't think it's funny becuase he thinks I was calling him a whale. lol.

My Bucket List

I spent the last three hours creating 'My Bucket List' of 101 things to do. I got the idea from Malia's very own 101 list of things to do. At first, I was reluctant to create any kind of list because I have this natural fear of failure. But, tonight I realized that it's not so bad because I'll have about three years to complete my list. Thanks for the idea Malia! This will definetly help me to be a more productive person in the end. In case you're curious, my list is located on the side panel under labels. I'll be checking them off bit by bit. I'm so excited to get started! Wish me luck.

Work It!

L.A. FITNESS
So I finally got my act together and got Brett and I gym passes at L.A. Fitness. Today was my second day going and it feels great. I can feel sore muscles that I didn't know still existed! I've never been a member of a gym, except at BYUH, haha. My goal is to go every morning except on fridays and saturdays (friday is work day and saturday is beach/yoga/surf day). If I were to make one of those lengthy 101 things to do, this would surely be one to cross off. The best part of it is Scotty gets to go to the kids club at the gym for FREE.
hooraay!

Monday Thoughts

I've been completely submerged in my new book, THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, that I've forgotten to blog! So sorry. I got this book as well as THE LAST LECTURE for Brett. Scotty got the classic book that all kids should have, MOTHER GOOSE RHYMES. Previous to Pillars, I read THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES. That is a really satisfying book to read during the hot summer days. All these books were recommending by my aunty and I'm so glad! Reading is way better than watching T.V. if you're reading something great - instead of boring textbooks, EW! This book rave I'm on is wonderfully refreshing for my soul. I would love to hear about the books you're reading =).

The weather in Southern California has turned from warm to blistering hot! Brett, Scotty, and I went to Newport Beach on Saturday and had a fun time soaking in the rays and running in the ocean for an occasional dip. Even better, Brett and I got to surf! The waves we're about 3 ft. I had no idea about "black ball" that when Brett rushed out of the water and gave me the board he told me to float down to the other jetty because they weren't closing it just yet. That was all to fast for me to understand so I quickly paddled out and tried to catch something but I had the feeling that the lifeguards were watching me. They eventually announced on their speaker phone that they wanted all surfers out - which meant me and this other guy. So instead of floating down to the other jetty I got out. Then we waited for about 5 hours for black ball to end and I got to surf again. Let's just skip the details and say it wasn't pretty. Okay, I give. The current was strong and I went over the falls on one wave and came close to hitting the jetty. Persistance and fear kept me out of harms way as I paddled through the current to safety! haha. We totalled about 7 hours in the sun and Brett got badly sunburned and poor Scotty had sunburned eyes for 2 days. Luckily, Scotty has my skin tone and he didn't get scorched like his daddy. We know better now to buy a beach umbrella, sunglasses, and better sunscreen.

We just received our rebate checks from the Governement today. Not what I was expecting but I am nonetheless grateful.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you tried that lemon detox diet? I know Malia and Stewart have. Was it effective? What was the main purpose for you trying it? Brett and I may try it but will probably fail quickly being that there's always food cooking. Well, these are just my thoughts on a monday night. Hope all is well in your part of the world.

My Dream Boys

Dream, Dream, Dream.

I've been dreaming alot lately. Mostly about these two bad boys. If you have one of these, I envy you!

Brett's Aunt is visting and she owns a Westfalia Volkswagon (1971 I believe). I wasn't that keen on it until I went searching for Scotty and found him in her van up in the roof! From that moment, I was in loooove. What a perfect camping van and perfect 'home' for the not-so- perfect times when you're suddenly homeless...(been there, done that. haha!). What do ya think guys? Isn't it the cutest!

photo: google.com

Westies, I learned, are like mini RV's...there's a small stove top, mini fridge, bed (seats that fold down), and the driver/passenger seats turn backwards, and we can't forget the roof that pops up into a tent! Fun!!!

~*~

Here's a car that I've been thinking about...especially since gas prices are heading up to $5.00! Arrrgh! The Aptera is such a geekie looking thing but I'm totally for it! Brett had the priveledge (or so I would call it) of seeing one on the road the other day and I missed it =(.

photo: google.com

So my question is: If you knew that this car goes miles on hardly any gas (I'm talking like a HUNDRED miles), would you still drive it?
