this is...

my mom posing in front of the biggest truck ever. i drove it to pick up my sofa. because chicago is a real city, i had the great privilege of navigating it in the alley behind the store. the alley had dumpsters on both sides, took a sharp unexpected right turn, giant poles (metal, not ethnic) and a man who insisted on remaining on the ground with his legs in the way while reading a newspaper. i am going to assume he was blind and deaf, despite reading the newspaper and talking to me, because otherwise it is just rude that he stayed there. maybe he was stuck.

i was going to call this post "movers and shakers" because i was both a furniture mover and shaking uncontrollably while attempting to navigate the ally. but then i thought about the consistency of this new baby blog and how the other photos were introduced. see? i really do put thought into this.

my mother is like an ant - deceptively strong for her size. after pulling off the driving while wearing a snappy top and sunglasses, i am once again astounded that some cute guy hasn't snapped me up. a chick that can drive a giant truck and look good? c'mon guys, get with it!
