The car

For all those interested in the seemingly unending car saga, it has reached our western border and begun its cross-country trek. I bought my new car, a Honda Fit, in the beginning of April and have been waiting for its arrival ever since. It was born from an assembly line in Japan on April 12th, braved the Pacific Ocean in a tanker ship, and has now officially landed in the US. I got the call yesterday that it is in Montana, making its way to the east coast. It should be arriving in Boston sometime mid next week - only to be packed up and driven back across the country the other way.

People keep asking me if I'm excited for the trip and my response is always the same, "It doesn't feel real yet. It'll be real when my car gets here." And when I think about things I need to do to pack and move, I say, "I'll do that when my car gets here." So next week when my car gets here...it's going to be great or it's all going to hit me. I hope it's the first one, but if it's the second one - there will be drinks.
