One from the road

I am happy to report that after a long 20 hour car ride filled with screams for Blue's Clues, more water, and random flailing about in one's car seat we have arrived at my parent's house. I will write more about what is going on in our little homecoming world soon but in the meantime I wanted to share something I learned on our journey.

While driving down I-95 I discovered that it is a colossally bad idea to get a personalized license plate that reads 1BIGQT. The primary reason you should step away from this license plate is because from far away it looks like "one bigot" which is, to say the least, a touch disturbing. The secondary reason to avoid this particular monicur is that there are weirdos like me who will speed up next to you just to see who in the world would put that on their license plate only to discover that it does, in fact, say "one big QT" and that while the BIG is accurate the QT is, um, not.

There's actually a couple of blogs devoted to vanity plates... here's one: http://whythatplate.blogspot.com/

We're very excited 3M is on his way home! We also hope we can get together when you move up to this general vicinity!

Hi Erin,

I also came over from Whoorl and wanted to say: Your hair is GORGEOUS.

That is all. Also I named my sister Erin, so I love your name.
