I have thought about quitting NaBloPoMo the past couple of days, but then I end up making another post, and in turn continue the madness. So, despite the fact that this is yet another post, I’m quitting. Hopefully, from now on out, I will post when I have something to say or show, and not on a daily basis just because it’s another internet trend.  Woo hoo!

Toys - Little People, VW Bus MicroMachine, Troll, Doozers, R2D2, Dala Horse, Nom, Owl, Alien

These toys are going with me to Belgium. I call them my cheerleading squad. They sit on the shelf above my desk and cheer me on. I didn’t expect the reaction to the bus toys I posted yesterday. I wanted to clarify that those are not my entire VW bus stuff collection, nor even a small part of it. It’s just the cheap plastic buses that have broken doors, or crazy paint jobs. I even have duplicates of some of them. I’m absolutely keeping my special VW buses – ones that were a special gift, or are unique, or fancy, or just something I really like.

Do you have an icon?  You know that single thing that when people see it, they think of you? It’s VW buses for me. It’s frogs for Thomas. We both have a ton – more than we can display in our house without looking like obsessed freaks. :) And many of the things are great and I love them, because buses make me happy.  But some of these, like these plastic buses that don’t do anything, and I don’t remember where they came from, sit in a box in the back of the closet.  I don’t display them because then my really cool collection becomes a cluttered mess.  Anyway, I just wanted to explain that I’m not giving away my collection, I’m emphasizing the special.

Besides, my kids are probably going to hate VW buses.  Isn’t it the rule that your kids never think your taste is cool?
