riesling

i want to introduce to you the newest member of our family! we named her riesling (ries for short :) because she is white, german, and oh so sweet.

i am head over heels for this one. she drives like a dream and the sunroof works! i think we may even have working a/c for the summer! that, my friends, is more than i could ever ask for.

1983 300d turbodiesel. super clean, purrs like a kitty cat.

and, only 213,00 miles?????? a baby! she's got so many more wonderful years ahead of her.

you know, in her honor :)

ramblings, wrinkles, and rides

when i was getting dressed yesterday to go to my shop, i was immediately drawn to these jeans (AGAIN). and i thought to myself, 'what could make them look a little different? EUREKA,' i exclaimed, 'i could leave them unrolled! but if they are so long i must have shoes tall enough to keep them from dragging the ground and getting that yucky cold wet seepage all up the back of my leg.' so that's how i came to wear boots with jeans, i'm not an actual cowgirl (although i bet you were wondering where my horse was)(april fools, it's in the parking lot!)(april fools again, i don't ride a horse). the seriously wrinkled shirt is on account of LAZINESS. i blame it on the rain. not only because that is a great song (circa milli vanilli) but also because rain makes me not care about such things.

and guess what............................................i'm getting a new car today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and of course by 'new' i mean one that's even older than pauli girl. matt is picking up a beautiful white 1983 mercedes 300d this afternoon. i'm fairly beside myself with joy. it's been a LOOOOOONG few weeks as a one car family. can't wait to show pictures! and give her a name so she feels like part of the family :)

hope you all have a great weekend!

pearls and peeptoes

i rarely wear heels because they tend to hurt my feet too much but these have a low profile so i can stand them longer than most. and i really love the peeptoe! but this is what i wore at my shop today. i didn't make it clear in my meet and greet post, but my shop is called amandromeda. that is my name on chictopia. i use it for everything. it dates back to high school and that was quite some time ago! but here we are on our way out between rain showers. it rained all day so we had to wait until almost dark to take outside pictures. i really want to do more of them. i haven't posted one outside pic on chictopia, but i am determined to start. the handsome fella in the last pic is my husband matt. he's posed in front of his '82 volkswagon rabbit that we call "high life." i'm chilling in front of my '84 mercedes named "pauli girl." we do love our cars.

the first picture is right outside our front door. we live above a flower shop. i love how the stop sign in the background glows like the sun. but isn't my street charming?
