My new bed and car
I don't actually have a new bed or a new car for that matter, I'm still using the same futon and driving the same car that I had when I moved into my apartment.
During my trip to Sacramento last month I got to test drive the car I am planning on buying within the next six months as well as update the look of my bed.
As I may have mentioned on here previously, I am planning on purchasing a Smart Car. I first saw these cars in Europe 4 1/2 years ago and fell in love with them almost immediately. I decided I was going to buy one when they finally came to the United States. Well I found out a while back that Mercedes Benz is planning on bringing them to the US in the first quarter of 2008. I've already put down my $99 deposit, and I will be placing my order soon. If you are unfamiliar with the Smart Car, it is a TINY two seater car with a 3-cylinder engine. If you would like to see the model I am getting click here. I am planning on getting mine in yellow with the trim in black.
This is a picture of one of the Smart Cars at the test drive in Sacramento (not the one I test drove). The test drive was set up at a Whole Foods parking lot. (Click on picture to see full-size)
This is me 4 1/2 years ago in Germany standing next to a Smart Car. You can't really see my face, but if you could you would be able to see the love. (Click on picture to see full-size)
While in Sacramento, I also stopped in at the Ikea there. Along with a few things for the apartment, I bought a comforter for my bed and a comforter sheet set. I finally put them on my bed last week because it is starting to cool down here. The comforter is rated on the cooler side of the spectrum, but it is very thick and fluffy, and keeps me very nice and warm at night. Almost to a fault, because I end up hitting my snooze button a few times in the morning instead of getting out of bed because the bed is so comfortable. The following is a picture of the comforter cover and pillow cases. It is a brown/white polka dot theme.
