"The Curse" Now Has A Real Name

You know what the best part of this contest was for me? Andrew not knowing who submitted derogatory comments about his car.

You see, I wouldn't let Andrew read the suggestions for bug names, because I didn't want him to be biased. So I read the submissions to him, and he had no idea who submitted what name until he made his choice last night. Now that he knows it was his brother who suggested that his baby should be named PeezOChite, Barney, or A Nice Attempt, guess who's not invited to our house anymore??

There were 11 names that made it to the finals, and last night I handed the list to Andrew and he studiously began to examine and cross out, until he was left with just three names. And he asked Ethan's opinion. He scowled, he debated, he asked me who had submitted the final three, and I refused to tell.

And then I saw him circle one name, and let me tell you - the suspense was epic.

Everyone - Meet Brigitta!

(Forgive the butt-shot of our dear Brigitta. I seem to not have any photos of her from the front. Although, there is a very nice one of her on a tow truck, which is like home for her, and I would have used it if I weren't afraid of Andrew's hurt feelings.)

So congratulations, Kellie! In just a matter of a few shipping days, you will find yourself the proud owner of one adorably retro Herbie The Love Bug t-shirt!

Thank you to everyone who played along in complete seriousness, or in jest - I had fun. And David - you owe Andrew an apology.
