- The humidity makes it very difficult to stay smelling fresh.
- 7-lane freeways rule.
- Real traffic sucks.
- “Y’all” is not a weird thing to say.
- All those songs I loved in high school? Yeah, they’re still awesome. (I swear, one of the radio stations here is stuck in a time warp.)
I’m back home for my friend Mary’s wedding, and I’ve had the good fortune to get to see a few other friends as well. (Ding and Aisha I was expecting, but Julia was a pleasant surprise!) Not to mention time with my family. The front end of the trip has been busy — the good kind! — but after the marital festivities tomorrow, things should calm down. I’m looking forward to writing, watching the Oscars, and more yoga with my mom.

Unrelated: This is super mushy, but it’s also well-written, and almost exactly how I feel after 5 years with Andy.

Seven lane freeways?
I. WOULD. CRY.
Enjoy the wedding and your time at home!
I hate freeways. Haaaate.
Enjoy your trip home.
I say y’all on a daily basis and I’m Canadian. How messed up is that?
It IS mushy, but you have the Houston humidity as an excuse. :)
omg seven lanes of freeway makes me have seven panic attacks abreast…
;) (also awwwwwwww.)
Lol. You should come to LA–eight and ten lane highways and still LA traffic! You’d love it.
LOL, everyone is afraid of the freeways… Well, everyone except Jon. I don’t think I want to experience LA traffic though.
I love freeways! They’re so much faster than surface roads. Although yes, LA freeways can be pretty sucky, especially the 405 during rush hour. I hope you had fun at the wedding and got some more yoga in.
Yay freeways! Boo rush hour.
@Jon and Meghan, only in LA would someone have a favorite freeway/interchange– and I have to confess mine is the 105E to 110N flyover where you can see all of downtown and the Hollywood sign on a clear day.
Um, did I just out myself as a not-quite-NorCal girl? oops.
