VAN ALERT!! VAN ALERT!!

That's right, people. At long last a new Mermaid Mobile is born. AaaaaahAAAAAAh (that's my imitation of angels singing).


After maybe 2 years of whining and hoping and hunting and discussing, yesterday we brought home my baby. A shiny 1999 Chevy Express cargo van.

This is by far the newest vehicle I have ever owned. It has running lights and air bags! Never mind that, CUP HOLDERS and air conditioning!
I'm fairly bursting into the nineties here. And see my birthday-ipod radio adapter? Oh, I'll be traveling awesomely this summer alright. You bet.


I might hyperventilate. I don't think I could be more excited.

It really has been like bringing home a baby. OK maybe a new pet. All kinds of new toys and we just want to play with it obsessively. I already have new tires, oil change, a paint touchup pen, washer fluid. We're discussing how to outfit the back for shows... liners, storage. Whew. Barney keeps poking at stuff. I can't wait to clean it. And I'm thinking about painting the mermaid logo on the side really huge. Hee hee.


I have been saving up a pile of bumper stickers in anticipation of this day... I think I took a picture, let's see...


Yeah, just one has made it so far. Yippee!! Mermaid Vans Rule!!

  3. Ooops! I just thought of something:

    There's no way you can afford to drive a big van like that with the price of gas what it is nowadays. Better take it back.

  4. Oooooh no. I know it will get better mileage than the stalker van... time to raise my prices like everyone else.

    I did some calculating last night... 400 miles will cost around $125. I usually budget $100 for gas so whatever.

    Of course, since Iraq (and soon Iran) are US owned... prices should be dropping any day now. Cough.

  5. Wow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. acquisto camper incidentati
