"chasing pavements"

by adele.


fabulous.

big families have their perks. vacations are not one of them - or they can be, but this only happens once in a blue moon. vacation prep? probably where i have heard and learned some of the most profane words in the english language. driving up the turnpike behind an 11 passenger van that was somehow so incapable of holding everything necessary for a weeklong vacation that a trailer requiring its own license plate was attached to it? mortifying. spending a week in a house with almost 30 other people ranging in age from 2 to 48 made my life more stressful, not less. and being told to consume fruits and vegetables approximately 10 times a day as though i were in kindergarten and incapable of making basic decisions about my meals just about sent me over the edge.

in other words, the 2008 sweeney pocono trip was a smashing success. truly.

my xanga expertise is listed as "food consumption."
