Dear Auntie,
Thank you so much for the wonderful accessory. It completes my look, and totally suits my personality. I will wear it with pride.
Love,

Dear Auntie,
I've been crazy stupid excited, annoyingly so. I'd like to apologize, but I just don't seem to be able to, cuz, you see.... I'm excited. After finding out that my raise was even crappier than I had imagined, and that any hope for a promotion is at least six months away, I feel the need to cling to some bright spot, and my new Vyv is it. Thanks to everyone who has been excited with me, and not made too much fun of the fact that I'm basically joining a cult. But what a fun cult...
Her name is Vyvyan. Named after the guy with stars in his head from The Young Ones. It dawned on my suddenly, and then I realized I couldn't name her anything else. So there you have it. Inspiration strikes.
And my here, I mean in Milwaukee, and by it, I mean my car. Quite obviously.
Guess what? I called up my not-so-local mini dealer today (hi, Anthony) and got the production number for my car, so I could look up where it is at in the whole process. You know, just off the assembly line, on the slow boat from England, whathaveyou, and it turns out that my car is currently resting happily on U.S. soil, at the "Distribution Center", next stop - Milwaukee and my waiting arms. Estimated date of delivery: February 7. That's right - today. Note the "estimated" part of that equation. I received no phone call today saying that it was available, but nonetheless, it is much MUCH closer than I had anticipated. I am currently nearly peeing myself. I know what you're thinking and you can SHUT UP. Anyway.... so.... close!! Here's hoping that our tax return hits my account before I get the call! Eep!
