I Love Cars

Seriously. I love cars. Always have. It started when I turned 16 and my parents let me drive the Cutlass 442. Wow. That thing had some power under the hood. And I quickly learned that it attracted the attention of the boys. Big deal when you're 16. Since then, I've loved having a car that can blow someone's doors off. I like sitting at a red light knowing that I can leave you in the dust. It's just cool. Not girly by any means, but I've never really been the girly type. Don't have a clue about fashion. Never have. Jeff and I discuss things like the collective bargaining agreement over dinner. Weird, I know.

I say all that to explain why today has been a particularly tough day for me...




















Oh yeah baby...welcome to suburbia. I can go 0-60 in 5.3 miles. The only way I'm leaving you in the dust is if you get stuck behind me and you get hit with crunched up Cheerios flying out of the back window. I am SO getting some bumper stickers. My kid is a preschool honor student. My other kid beat up my preschool honor student.

Lord help me.

Well, well, well. Forgive me for commenting, but aren't you the one who said "I will never be caught dead driving a mini-van like my favorite cousins in the north". Well my dear, you are in deed driving a mini van, cheerio dust and bumper stickers will not disguise that you are driving a mini van! Todd will be so proud of you! We are getting a great chuckle out of this - welcome to the hood! Love ya

How are you going to explain this to Adam?

Oh Jenn! I don't even know what to say! I want to be encouraging, really I do, but I've got nothing here! Can you not force Jeff to drive this and get yourself a cool car? I'm sure he wouldn't mind...he's that kind of guy! He wants you to be happy, I know he does! Really though, as minivans go, it's pretty hot! Just don't leave any diaper bags or kiddie paraphenalia on the roof like in that one commercial! LOL
