I'm about to walk over to the shop to get my car, which inconveniently refused to slow down when I tried to brake last Thurs. Any other weekend, mind you, (possible life-threatening crashes aside) it would have been a minor inconvenience. I love my house, and tend to mostly stick close to the nest. However, when I pressed the brake pedal and found that it went "thunk" directly to the floor and I continued on at relatively the same velocity, um... I was on my way to the airport to pick up 2 sisters from NY. The rest of my family (sans one sister) was arriving 2 days later, and there was to be much festivity and reunionizing.
There was still some reunionizing etc, as I snatched the Boy's car as soon as he arrived home, and we continued to juggle and strategize the rest of the weekend. Despite the setback, I managed to see not only family, but friends as well, and it was a lovely time.

'twas a lovely weekend, yes it was.
Oh, and those 55-word stories are sweet and deceptively simple. I think I will use some of them in the classroom...
