Beetle Mania

It has been a decade since we owned a new car. No complaints here, it was never really a priority. However, a lovely holiday bonus and a clever trade in thanks to Chris, we have been enjoying a Harvest Moon Beige 2006 Beetle with mp3 ready plug AND BUTT WARMERS!! WOO! Love the butt warmers. I know we don't live in an über cold climate, but they are divine! People - please... you have to try them (not mine, necessarily). I've wanted a Beetle for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid our next door neighbors teenage kids shared a blue one. I came from "buy American only" stock, so having a V-Dub in the driveway was about likely to happen as pigs flying out of my butt (no, it can't happen, I don't care what Wayne says). Party on. Anyhoo, she is a beauty. Maggie loves to ride in her with me. Here it is... my farfegrüven

easy like sunday morning


panama rocks. my pumpkin spice latte and maple bar. breakfast of quasi-champions.

why i hate clowns

because they are evil. just look at this hideous jester we found in our local christmas shop. i would like to go on record for being perplexed that the moderate population of livermore can even support a christmas shop year round. the price tag was almost as horrifying as the creature itself.

a cool $1,100 could land you this freaky beauty.

Couldn't have said it better....
