trip part 1: things broken

  • Bottle of warm vanilla sugar body spray, not packed in suitcase well
  • Eyeglasses, also not packed in suitcase well
  • Skin on foot, when after airport security check (return trip), stupidly unfolded stroller w/o shoes
  • Piece of crap carseat rustled up by National car rental agency after mere hour of searching
  • Spirits, after missing brother's wedding.

Ohnoohnoohnoohno! My spirits just broke a little bit for you. That's the saddest thing ever.

I almost started to cry. You missed it? That's so, so terrible! I'm so very sorry!!

[deep intake of breath] oh no! I can't even begin to imagine how you are coping with all of that! Hope you made it to the reception (?!) at least and got to let loose with family and drown your sorrows in a well-deserved glass of wine, perhaps even with a sprinkling of tears. I hope.

thanks, y'all... yeah, what a major, unforgettable bummer. the blogging has been cathartic, at least.

I'm so sorry to hear you guys missed it!! Is there any remote possibility of them doing the ceremony all over again? Maybe you can take part in their 50th Golden Anniversary instead... I'm glad you guys made it home safely. Travel mercies indeed.
