Picture it...

January 7th 2010, Newport Ky

It was cold morning in the tiny hamlet. An aging Diva packs the final box for the trek to warmer climes. Her erstwhile companion has gone to get the deluxe chariot they have rented for themselves and the 3 Chilluns. The sound of Heart, Barracuda, fills the empty apartment. Seems the rental company does not have the size car we reserved. The Diva says take what they have. A snowstorm is on the horizon and she is eager to be gone. When the erstwhile Companion returns, he is seated in a pretty, red, Ford...FOCUS? How the Frik am I s'posed to fit my life, your life and 3 freakin' yowling cats in a Freakin' FORD FOCUS!? But we managed after leaving several boxes for the neighbors to fight over. And off we went into the snowy morning.

I'd like to say that everything after that went as planned. But then, it would not be my life! The snows stalked us all the way past Lexington. The cats yowled all the way past Willaimsburg. By the time we reached the Tennessee border we were frazzled. But that's a story for a different day!
