Alright. I give. Jimmy Buffett isn't all bad.

I posted last week about Husband's yearly voyage to see Jimmy Buffett in concert. Be thankful...really, really thankful that I didn't give you more of this year's details. Although I couldn't tell you much since Husband doesn't remember much. I will say, however, that Husband was HUGELY over served (by himself). And as a result of him becoming Drunky McBoozerton, he threw up all over just a little bit down the side of Big Brother's car. Good stuff.

To right that terrible party foul, Husband found a mobile detailer to go over to BB's house and clean his car up. He chose Final Finish, and the wonderful Drew showed up. He certainly got a workout trying to get BB's big-ass Suburban clean.

Husband and Big Brother were both really happy with the work and the service. So to thank me for taking such good care of him in his many hours of need, Husband surprised me by having Drew come out to the house over the weekend and detail my car. And it is amazing! Well worth the water, aspirin, crackers and trashcan I put out for Husband. He says it was the cold washcloth that I put on his forehead that really made the decision.

Whatever it was, I'm loving the result! Hello Gorgeous...no no baby. I'm not talking about you this time...
I'm talking about you, my beloved car. After Drew was finished it looked new again (from a respectable distance anyway). Would you ever guess that my house on wheels is over 8 years old? 
Vacuum marks on the carpet? Be still my beating heart. No gunk in the cup holders? Swoon. 
No dust bunnies on the dash? How is that even possible?  

So after a few days of driving around in my gorgeously clean car, I am forced to admit that Jimmy Buffett may not be completely terrible. His music still sucks though :D

Oh, man - my husband needs to go out & get hammered with friends more often. As long as those friends are handy with things I need done. I think I could make that work for me...

(Your car looks gorgeous!) xo

Yes, I'm feeling much more supportive of boys night out now :)
Aw, how nice of Husband! My Jeep really needs that done (although a detail might be worth more than my car at this point!).

Pie's one-piece romper is adorable.

It was cutting it close, cost wise, on mine!

I love rompers in the summer. I just went to grab the link for you and they are on sale for $10 right now. I may have to get the other colors :)

YAY! I just ordered one for Isla (the same as Pie's!). Thank you, Thank you!
Of course! Ahhh...I love that they'll be little outfit buddies!
I think if he does his annual pilgrimage to the JB concert, this should be a default part of the deal. Right?! LOL Your car looks awesome. And your little girl ain't half-bad neither!

I'm negotiating what I can get for next year...I'm thinking the house cleaned. LOL
Seriously, I would let your husband puke all over my car if he paid to had it detailed! Your blingin ride looks incredible. My vroom vroom pales in comparision...

Happy Wednesday :)

I'll get him liquored up and send him your way :D
The vehicle looks fab! The baby girl? Holy cow! I can't stand it... she's walking and looking all kinds of grown up!

I know, it's killing me. When did she turn into such a big girl!?
Drew knows what's up!

I have to give your husband kudos...I know I've vomited on cars, and never offered to detail them. (How rude, right?!)

Pie---stop being so cuteeeee!

I've never offered either (oops). Guess it's that whole Southern gentleman thing Husband has going on.
Wow it looks awesome! Really Really awesome! I just did a giveaway for a detail on my Mac Kid site and I was jealous of the winner. I would be scared to drive in it thought after it was that clean. It would probably look that way for 1 day after my kids got a hold of it!
I bet the Hubs felt real great the next morning too! Oh my.......nothing worse than a hangover with a kiddo. They don't give you any sympathy! :)

I need my car detailed sooooo bad. Between goldfish crumbs and apple juice stickiness...it's a mess. And the outside hasn't been washed in at least 4 months. Hmmm......maybe I should let my Hubs go get shitfaced?

Yeah...It was a brutal day. And Pie must have known because she was being especially grumpy from teething.

I had no idea his play time would end so nicely for me. I may start keeping the house a little better stocked!
Wow! That is so nice of him! I really need both of our cars detailed because they are NASTY! And seriously, Pie is so freaking adorable!!

I didn't realize *how* dirty the car was until it was cleaned. Now I'm like...how did I live with all that dirt and crap everywhere?!
bahaha! Yesterday while I was working and my hubby had the day off. He took my kdis and my car to the car wash adn had it detailed too! I was so happy! But my Kuppy Kakes magnet is gone :( I swear he didnt take it off when he went through, but he says he didnt see it on there and someone must have stolen it. HMm. really?! After its been on the car for how long now? LOL Anywho. My kids love Jimmy Buffets cheeseburger in paradise song, and my neighbors went to the concert. Although, they cant remember much either. Maybe its something in the drinks?! LOL

I'm not sure it was so much what was in the drinks as how many drinks there were! Hahaha!
