White Vespa, Check.

It's been a while since I updated. That either means that my life is so exciting that I don't have time to blog, or that I'm a big loser and have nothing exciting to write about. I'll let you guess which one explains my long absence from blogging ;)

Many of you already know that I checked off one more item from my wishlist this past week. Finally got my white Vespa. I've been eyeing it for a while so imagine my excitement when I hear on the radio that HWP (the Vespa dealer) was having a huge sale last Saturday. Nobody in Bermuda ever has sales. I'm thinking I'm going to get this Vespa for a crazy deal. Why else would I hear ads for this HUGE sale at least 5 times in 30 minutes? Jim was still in Taiwan so I emailed him about how I was going to go to the HWP sale and I was so excited. He's been against me getting another scooter so I was pretty shocked when he didn't really give me any trouble about going to the sale. Finally, Saturday comes and I hit up the farmer's market first (my new favorite Saturday spot). Then walk over to the HWP sale next door. There stands a shiny, white Vespa. I ask the salesperson if they have any white left of the 125cc one. They only have 1 more....it's fate! So of course, I tell him I'll take it. Oops, I forgot to check the price but surely it's going to be a great deal because it's a huge sale. So I walk over to the price tag while he gets the other guy to do my paperwork. Wait for it...it was a whopping $200 off. Yep, big sale indeed. Oh well, it's better than nothing. I finish putting down my deposit. When I get home, I email Jim to let him know that I bought myself a new Vespa. He's shocked. I thought I told him I was going to the sale?! Turns out he didn't remember what HWP was and thought I was going to go buy a computer or something at the HP sale. Silly.

I finally experienced the Bermuda night life while Jim was gone. Nothing too exciting to report. Guess bars are the same no matter where you are. Not much else going on over here. Why we moved to Bermuda is a puzzle to me because all we ever do is try to get off the island. We already did Vegas, Vermont, Chicago and Taiwan in the past 2 months. We're going to Breckenridge for some more boarding this weekend, which I'm super excited about because we get to see my family and my cutie pie niece. Then probably a trip back to Chicago in April for a conference I might be attending. Then off to Kenya for our first safari in July. Watching the food network today made me miss all of the good food back in the states :(. Must stop watching the food network. Although, my husband is now a master chef because he learned to make some Chinese food when he was in Taiwan. Yum...
