i have to pick my mom up at 11:15. then we will venture to sister #3’s house. to get to sister #3’s you have to go to the middle of nowhere and take a left. once we arrive at sister #3’s we have to load up the peanut 2 1/2 and rolie polie nolie the great defender of fun 7 months into a vehicle and drive to south dakota. yes, mamala, sister #3, two children under 3 and me in a car for 3 hours. i don’t know who will cry more, me or the kids. i’m betting it’ll be me.

i have to leave in less than 45 minutes and i am as yet unclothed and unshowered. somehow i think i like the sense of urgency i create for myself. why else would i waste time sitting here telling you all this instead of grooming myself.

we are venturing to the wilds of south dakota to witness of the marriage of sister #4’s bff amanda huginkiss. it should prove to be most intersting. if nothing else, i’ll get to see my beloved booba (max) as the ring bearer. that might be worth the cost of admission alone.

pray for me darling ones. you know what weddings do to me.
