Driving Miss Lucy

As I wrote before somewhere on here, Lucy got this sweet ride for Christmas and she very much enjoys footing it around, but not as much as she likes riding in the back.  Her favorite thing to do is to sit in the trailer and instruct the driver to chauffer her everywhere.

She’s very bossy.

It doesn’t help the situation that her brothers find her incredibly adorable and have absolutely no problem with this.  The younger ones take turns driving Miss Lucy all over the place.

She does drive it herself often and is very adorable behind the wheel.

And she always remembers to bring along a flintlock pistol with her.  You know, in case of rogue pirates.  Or angry vacuum cleaners. 

She does not like vacuum cleaners.

I’ve tried to write this post about a gazillion times and it just wasn’t getting done because I can’t stop myself from being distracted.

It took me a half hour to write that last sentence.

Still, I must persist and get this written because it’s just so awesome.  Last Wednesday my husband came back from getting his haircut with these perfectly colored measuring cups and spoons.  They match my kitchen pretty well and I very much love them and I loved the fact that my husband remembered that I wanted new baking utensils in this color.

This alone is enough to cause me to write a husband-bragging post. Kitchen items for no other reason than my husband saw them at the store and remembered that I was on the lookout for them is enough to remind me how much I’m cared about.  However, that is not actually what this post is about.  This post is mostly about my new car.

HE  BOUGHT ME A FREAKING CAR PEOPLE…

Which is basically the cutest Mini Cooper I have ever seen.

While it wasn’t completely out of the blue as we’d been on the prowl for a small, gas efficient car for a year or more and he had repeatedly talked about selling his Harley and buying a little car when he returned from deployment, it was an absolutely unexpected surprise because I never figured it would be now, and I never imagined it would be so dang adorable, and I never thought it would be mine.

So now this sweet Mini lives happily in my driveway. He drives with a British accent and is very smart so I appropriately named him Watson.  I also liked Alfred and Simon but Watson is the name that stuck. 

Last Wednesday was pretty much Christmas, my birthday, Towel Day, and Mother’s Day all wrapped up into one. 

The end.

I have so much to say about the last couple of weeks since Rabbit has been home.  Numerous blog posts have been partially written and abandoned because I saw something shiny on eBay, or Yahoo enticed me with one of their headlining news stories about a headless fish that turned gross after being cooked. 
For real.

And Rabbit has been so busy with this huge thing at work that includes memorizing ridiculous amounts of helicopter stuff and higher ranking individuals staring at him and rapid fire questions and sweating. 

It’s all been very exhausting for me.

So I thought I’d write this little note to say that I haven’t forgotten about writing here, and I have every intention of adding an informative post with pictures of stuff very soon.
Tomorrow.
Definitely maybe. 

For now it’s late and I must at least try to talk my brain into shutting down for a few hours.

P.S. I wasn’t kidding about the gross headless fish story.
