My Little Joon Bug... Someday

It was love at first sight

The first time I saw the new 2012 VW Beetle was in a commercial. I absolutely fell in love with it and immediately wanted one. This love didn't just start though, I've always wanted a VW Beetle. As long as I can remember I wanted a yellow one, and while the color of my future car has changed, the model hasn't (well, except for the year). 

I've been drooling over pictures on Facebook and the VW website. And I even saw one in real life at Target one time. The owner was putting her things in it, and I was going to ask her if she liked it, but I chickened out. This is weird since I've never been much into cars. 

There's a VW dealer on Blackstone in Fresno, and whenever we drive by I always make sure to look for the Beetle (as long as I'm not driving). Last weekend, we saw a baby blue one! Their website lets you build your own. The only color choices are black, red and baby blue. Out of those three, baby blue is my number one choice.

I just love how the inside has a vintage look. It's like you can get an older looking car without having to deal with the issues of an older car.

If I had my choice, I would choose one of these colors either a mint green or teal. Maybe a little sparkly. I like sparkles.

 

  OR

                                                     

And I would really love for it to be a convertible, my windows are always rolled down anyway. 

Now, I have no idea if this is even a good car to have, but I love it. 

I would name it Joon Bug. Joon, after Benny & Joon of course.

Ok, that's enough Joon Bug lovin' for tonight.

Yup, I totally forded the river

This is definitely how I felt on Friday when I came home from work after a day of consistent rain. I have never see the front of our apartment complex so flooded in the four years I have lived here. I seriously thought that I was going to get stuck in all the water.

It reminded me of playing Oregon Trail when I was a kid. (Whenever I talk about it with Sam, he always references zombies since I must be talking about Organ Trail. Husbands, oi vey.) There was that point in the game where you had a decision to make:

1) Ask the Indian for help
2) Take the Ferry
3) Ford the River

On Friday, I definitely forded the river... and survived! I didn't lose any food, cattle, friends and Sam is still alive. I used to love to play The Oregon Trail. And now I really want to play it again! I need to find it for Windows 7.

I also have a new addiction: Reading tweets from @90sgirlproblem. It's like we were friends and she knows my life. I just love it!

Anyway, just being incredible nostalgic for some reason.
