Yeah, I don't know how anyone does it these days--we didn't get a minivan until I was a junior in high school, prior to that it was three kids in the back seat--but we didn't have to have boosters and car seats that lasted until we were like, ten years old, like kids do these days! I mean, I remember a long road trip when my brother was about 2, and I don't recall him being in a carseat (my sister and I fought over who had to have him sleep on their shoulder when he'd fall asleep) Though we did have a station wagon and sometimes got to fight over who sat in the "way back"...if there was room among the luggage/shopping/etc. I suspect that doesn't even exist anymore.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

My next car will almost definitely be a minivan
I loved my Toyota Sienna. I kinda miss it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
That's great news about the house. Does it feel good to be able to cross that off the list?
For sure. And it feels great to have no plans to speak to anyone connected with a mortgage company, title company, or realtor's office any time soon. The closing took over two hours.
But now I get to plan where to put my books in the new house! Muahaha!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woot, Dana!

Yay new house, Dana!
I have this phone pre-interview in twelve minutes. I should probably go outside.
After we talk about the position, and if it looks like they're really interested, I think I'm going to be straight with the guy about my family situation. I love Portland and might otherwise be willing to move but right now it's not quite an option. Possibly in a year or two, though.

Hooray, Dana!

My transportation.
Some day I may have a car ... but it's ridiculously expensive in the city (hence the popularity of the Car2Go Smart Cars).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
yay Dana! That's great news!
My next car will almost definitely be a minivan, because I am a mom and need a mom car.
I have one right now for that reason, but I suspect the next car we buy won't be a minivan. Also pretty sure I'll miss it.

Consuela, I'd hold off on that info for a little bit, if only to keep this option open for now. If you get the offer, then yeah, need to talk about how/when to move.
Oh, but more importantly GOOD JOB~MA for the phone interview!

Have a good interview, Consuela!
