VW Obsession, Round Two...
Well, I can see that my blogs are few and far between... I apologize... I know you are all dying to hear what I have to say (yea right!). I do know that Chad likes when I blog, because he actually tells me to blog more often. Denae likes it too, but she doesn't count as a fan because she is my wife and she feels obligated to enjoy my blogs........ I digress...
The reason I'm blogging tonight is because my obsession with owning a bug has been reignited!
The other day I was driving along and noticed the all-too-recognizable headlights of a VW bug behind me. As I turned a corner, I thought I noticed that the sides were white (I love that). So, I slowed down a bit to let it pull up next to me. I like to get a good look at them whenever I get a chance. Well, as it pulled up, I noticed in the window a "For Sale" sign. This got my attention and I quickly slowed down, turned right (to keep with him), and followed him a couple blocks to his house. I asked the guy how much it was. He said it was $4,500, and that he had an extra engine, roof racks, and some other stuff in the garage that was included in the price. It was probably a good deal, but I can't really afford it right now... plus, I need to be somewhat grown up these days.
So, I've been by the house a couple of times to try and sneak a peek at the bug. The picture of the red and white bug above looks similar to the one I saw (the one I saw did not have the trunk off like that). I got this pic from an awesome site called The Samba. It's an awesome site, dedicated to VW's. It has tons of classified ads, as well as just galleries with pics galore... I encourage you all to check it out!
I've also jogged by that house and a couple of other places where I know bugs reside on other days. What can I say, I think they're awesome... I want one... one day I will have one... that is that!
So, besides the bug obsession (I should say, "along with the bug obsession"), life is great. The kids seem so big. I love days when I get to see them a lot. Lexi is awesome, smart & pretty... she is basically literate, which is the bomb.com. Logan is a funny story teller, and really intensely into music (you should see his face on the instrumental parts of the Lion King sound track... it's like he's seeing the whole scene in his mind). Macey is as cute as can be and she is a real fire cracker!
Denae is the awesomest! Tonight she cooked dinner for a friend who just had a baby, and for our family. It was soooo good! Without her, I would basically shrivel up and die...
Well all you readers and bloggers out there... until next time, this is Blogger Dave checking out.
By the way... if you know anyone with a bug that runs who doesn't want it, I'll take it off of their hands for them... NICE!!!
