Wow, I've been really lazy about blogging lately. I think I've been too wrapped up with:
1. Taking digital photos and posting hundreds of them here.
2. Drinking away the entire rainy Memorial Day weekend.
3. Planning our next trip to Vegas. (Yeah!)
You know it was a good weekend when the majority of the photos end up looking like this:

Go shorty, it's your birthday!
Yay, Megan, happy birthday! Tonight we're going to party like rock stars. I promise to take lots of pictures. Let's place bets on how many people will puke tonight. Approximately 15 people will be partying. I'm betting on at least three (hopefully not myself included, but we'll have to see about that).
Get your drink on!

Otto is all better. We're friends again. I've stopped threatening him with 350Zs and he's stopped being fresh. All good relationships have their bad moments, I guess.
So last night I was looking through my 142 photos from Vermont, and I saw the moose! She barely came out in one or two of the photos. Bless the wonders of Photoshop. See, a moose! I really saw a moose!

Otto is still busted. It seems like that's all I can talk about lately. The knock sensor made the CE light go on again on Friday. And I took Otto to Vermont Saturday and just as I was about to leave for home, the horrible clutch/starter noise started and wouldn't stop. Somehow I made it all the way from Vermont to Stratford in sixth gear, the whole 2 1/2 hours on 91. Otto is at the dealership and of course, they cannot replicate the horrible noise. I know it's the ignition switch inside, but they can't replace it if it's not broken. I am so mad. I will stop now.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, I went to Vermont this past weekend to visit my friend Bob. We had GTI 337 playtime. We went to a crazy party in Sugarbush, and I let Bob drive my 337 because his was getting tinted. We were driving on these crazy twisty mountain roads. He pushed Otto to the limit, and it was so much fun. I knew my baby could handle well, but I never realized how well until Saturday night when we were taking corners at 90 mph and the tires were screaming. It was so much fun.
And then we saw a moose. A moose! There were signs for moose crossing and I couldn't believe it. I thought they were there for the tourists. Bob said he only sees them maybe twice a year, but sure enough, at 3 a.m. driving from Sugarbush to Rutland we go whizzing by an animal.
Me, in a Bud Light buzzed state: WHAT THE F WAS THAT?!
Bob: A deer.
Me: That was NO deer.
Bob slams on the brakes, pulls a U-turn and right there, on the side of the road, is a young female moose, staring back at me. Pure excitement for a suburban girl. I tried to take pictures, but of course my camera was on the wrong setting and they didn't come out. They look more like Blair Witch moose picutres. If you squint, you can see her eyes. I swear, there's a moose in there somewhere.
Anyway, Vermont was fun. Otto and I made nice new friends. :)
All of the pictures are here.
And keep your fingers crossed for Otto!

Otto keeps breaking and I keep misbehaving. I think he is mad at me.
Nevermind that knock sensor nonsense early last week, Otto blew his coils Friday in Stamford, but luckily Riverbank VW rapidly came to the rescue. But Otto is still making that hideous screeching/spinning/whirring noise intermittently from the from end. It all makes me nervous. New cars shouldn't break three times in one week.
Oh, that's right, I bought a Volkswagen. Sometimes I forget.
Anyway, Otto and Golfy had a car wash playdate yesterday afternoon. My pictures are here. Kitty's are here. The boys are so clean and pretty!
