Oh geez, I fear I am too late to talk vw out of going to class.
We need a new car. Lord only knows when we will be able to buy one. I want a Forrester, DH wants an Oddysey. With two kids, it's either a minivan or a mini SUV. The Saturn is like a toy car. (Ah well, it will still hold two car seats.)
Burrell, it looks like the movers should be out of here no later than 3:00 this afternoon, if that helps with getting to see you at all.
Oh good, Perkins. We should be in touch after they leave. You may be tired by then.
I think the Windstar (and minivans in general) are WAY cooler than Explorers (and SUVs in general).
Burrell, if you email me the best way to reach you, I'll call/email you when they are done and the cats and I are recovered.

I love my Forester. It's big enough to carry around what I need it to carry, but small enough that I don't feel like I'm taking over the road. And, for a small SUV/large station wagon, it has decent gas mileage (22-23 city; 24-26 highway).
Also, living in Chicago, it's great on snowy roads.
Forester was one of the cars we were looking at when we bought the VUE. don't think it would have been bad
I'm home. I'm exhausted and in tears again, but I did it. We (my parents, therapist and I) decided that the iPod is still on. I spent much of the Mountain Tales class saying "lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala" to myself while the class discussed the masculinity (sp?) of the rape. I spoke to the prof after class about my late assignments. She understands that I was not prepared for the graphic nature of the class and is cutting me some slack. She told me to get the stuff that's behind to her when I can and to try to stay caught up on the other stuff first. Oh, and I'm *definitely* not watching a horror movie. She's going to let me watch a comedy instead.
Thanks so much everyone for the thoughts and encouragement.
vw, that's great. Not the being so upset part, but the perservering through it, and choosing to talk to your prof, and get everything ironed out as to how you move forward.
I'm so proud of you. Two iPods, says I.
