[Ok, well, technically it's a Mazda and a very old Saab, but still.]
I think we're getting close to the end of the blog challenge (if we haven't gone past it already), and I have to apologize for doing so poorly. Work has been ridiculous of late, and I've been trying to exercise A LOT which really cuts into the time I have for fun things, like knitting, playing Xbox, and gracing you all with my pearls of wisdom and amusing anecdotes.
Last night I had a revelation. I was invited to a get-together at the church to celebrate someone's birthday, so a number of ladies (and a few gentlemen) gathered in the parish hall and had a little party. It was lovely. First of all, drinking wine at church when it's not immediately preceded by a tiny piece of bread is a new thing for me. Secondly, and most importantly, it was really nice to get out of the house and chat with fun, interesting people.
Ok, the revelation. So you know how there are moments in your life where it hits you, Wow, I am really a GROWN-UP? Like when you get a mortgage, or buy a car, or deliver a child, or are hit by your first outrageously high tax bill....do you have those moments too? Well, I do. And I just had another.
So after the festivities were complete, we had to clean up. I was standing by the sink, drying while one of my new friends was washing dishes, and it just hit me: I am now one of the ladies who cleans up at the church when everyone is done eating.
I don't think it gets more adult than that.

I think you might be right about the adultness of the church straightening, especially if/when you can drink another glass of wine during the clean up.
Coincidentally, yesterday I found pictures of you and I imbibing drinks of a different sort. I think it was your "leaving DC the first time" party.
I want to see those!!!!!
