To Blog or not to Blog...

I have been having a difficult time coming up with things to chat about in the blog lately. Both blogs actually. I haven't felt any inspiration for my DIY Design blog lately either.

Inspiration, where does it come from? Often times it comes from just normal everyday, seemingly mundane events. Right? Frightening. LaCoste sells it in a bottle. My days are even less than mundane if it has come down to empty brain with empty thoughts.

Other than the norm, you know, work. Here is my list of things that need tending....

1. Choose a new washer/dryer set to purchase.

2. Decide on a new car. (my lease is about up)

3. Try out new mattresses, the old one has outlived it's usefulness.

Don't any of these 3 things rank in the top 5 most stressful life happenings? I think they should all place up there somewhere.

#1-I told you. Even less than mundane. Shopping for appliances tops my list of "Please. Not now." But it has to be done and it has to be done soon. Bigun was set with the task of researching what brands have the highest consumer ratings for performance. Seems like it would be a relatively simple task these days. What with the "Information Highway" allowing us immediate accessibility to such info. He did a great job and found a few he could cost compare as well as performance compare.

Now comes the hard part. Bigun's side of the job was relatively easy. I have to be the one who decides, ultimately, what color. Yes, color. Not so easy as white or white these days. Have you seen the color options out there? Unbelievable. Mindboggling. Burnt Citrus, Pacific Blue, Champagne, Platinum, Graphite, Onyx, Compatible Cream, Barolo. BAROLO?!?! WTH? I work with color every day folks, Barolo? Had to be some macho guy who thinks he is in tune with his metro sexual self who came up with this name. Barolo. Give me a break. Barolo. Actually, it's a gorgeous color. Love the color. I think. Seems to be a deep brown/red. Looks cool on the website. Actually it's my favorite of all of the color choices. I just don't think I have it in me to tell my friends..." Yes, isn't it beautiful, it's Barolo." Wait, why the hell would I be showing anyone my washer and dryer anyway? I told you, less than mundane.

You are probably begging for the punishment to stop. End the blog now and be on my way right? Sorry, I'm just getting started. Remember, other than work I have two more things on my list of "To Do". What were they....? Oh, yes. #2

#2- Choose a new car. Currently I drive a 2003 Saab 9-3 red convertible. The lease will run out soon and another Saab is NOT on my list. Sparing you from the agonizing Saab Story is easy for me. I don't even find myself wanting to talk about it. Love the red color though. My toes and fingernails match the shade of red on the car. Oh yes. Accessorizing is important folks. I will say that if you find a dealership with a great Service Department, considering a Saab would come highly recommended by me. Tampa's Service Manager is a joke. At Scott Saab in Tampa-Unless you sport a penis with your Saab forget about Service.

Choices. The part I hate. It has always been my natural assumption that a BMW would replace the Saab in the garage. Afterall, that is what I went out to get the day I came home with the Saab. Should have listened to that first instinct. Gone with the B'mer and be done with it. I have decided that I no longer wish to drive a Red car anymore. My nails will have to be glamorous on their own now. Oh how I love the red color though. Love. It. love it. My car has been hit 6 times. While it was immobile. It's freakin red!!!! Really RED!!!! WTH?!?! So, red is out. I am thinking of a cool electric blue of sorts. Corvette's blue is yummy. Yummy yummy. Problem, can't get that blue on a B'mer.

The short list of considerations are as follows- a. VW Beetle Convertible b. Mini Cooper S Convertible c.BMW 325ci d. VW Eos Notice a theme yet? Yes, I am a girl who likes to go topless.

I am leaning heavily towards the Mini. This means, 6 speed, turbo, with a cute little button to push for a topless day. Sporty, fun, I can order one with a bike rack. Nice. Convertibles are tough for sporting a bike rack and still looking cool. A Mini was made for a bike rack. Hot. To quote Bold "HAWT". Question now- if a Mini is in order, Dark Blue with black racing stripes or British Racing Green? Neither color will look good on my nails. A girl's sacrifices are tough but I think I could deal with this one.

Last on my list #3

#3- New mattress. Enough said.

I warned you, mundane was on the list today.
