Aaron brought me home a sheet of thse Eames stamps from the post office. I was really excited... no not because I am stamp collector, because I am so not... but because two of the chairs on the stamps I just happen to have...
... in mini versions! Hee! So cute.
I love mini stuff. I got these in blind boxes at the Kinokuniya book store in NYC.
There is another grey mini just like mine in my office parking lot. Like magnets we always seem to park near each other. Today I found "the other mini" snuggled up right behind mine.
You can imagine how many times I have stood next to the "the wrong mini" repeatedly pressing the unlock button with frustration until I realize it's not mine.
I have even tried to distinguish my mini from "the other mini". I added a Domo antennae ball.
And a Cram Cream mushroom air freshner. I still try to get in "the wrong mini" on a regular basis.
So on Monday we found out that the bug was totaled. *sniff* We weren't too surprised because the airbags deployed and those are pretty pricey to replace. The worst was when we went to the lot to get the plates and it had already been towed to a scrap auction and all there was left in the parking space was shards of green plastic.
Tuesday we were at the VW lot looking at bugs and I spotted a little "previously loved" (used) grey Mini Cooper amongst the VW's.
I took it for a test drive and then this evening I took it home. It is about as cute as a bug and handles really well.
I still love bugs and will probably get another one someday, but I wanted to try something new for awhile.
Aaron is excited because it has six speeds. I like the sunroof.
