back to reality.

after spending the weekend with my girlfriends, their husbands, their babies and their pregnant bellies (in case anyone is keeping track, i received TWO pregnancy announcements during my three days in fargo), i returned home only to learn that my 600-mile weekend road trip had done catastrophic damage to my poor car. it is dead and there is no bringing it back.

so, instead of being lazy and catching up on some much-needed sleep (who knew babies cried throughout the night?), this week is lending itself to some frantic car shopping and lots of mad math, trying to figure out what i can actually afford.

college and the land of no responsibilities has never seemed further away.

(on the upside, i will very soon have a new, reliable car to get me from mpls [aka "reality"] to college town so i'm able to continue to be a big part of all of these growing families– and for that, i'm very grateful!)
