It's (nearly) official.* We have a new addition to our family:
Name: Vi0let Be@ureg@rde (given to her by her current family but we love it so we're keepiing it)
Length: 143 inches
Weight: 1 ton, 524 pounds
We can bring her home sometime next week. Millie, Mr Millie and Violet are well. Life is good. Really really good. And yes, she is THAT purple.
Violet, you're turning violet, Violet.
Can you believe I actually had a super busy day at work? It was completely insane. I'm off for a week. My folks are in town, we're heading up to a lake tomorrow. I promise to write more soon.
*There are papers to be signed, some notarized and such and then keys will be exchanged.
She's beautiful!
Congratulations!

Um, I've clearly lost my mind. Really. Your new addition is by no means a Bug. It is clearly a darling Mini. My only excuse is that I've been very close to an open can of paint this morning. It was latex paint that didn't smell but still...

What a beauty! And just in time for your folks' visit. I hope you're having a great week.

Been meaning to congratulate you on the car. And good for you for calling it Violet. My friend with a similar color car calls it the Blurple. Violet is so much more attractive.
