It's here, it's finally here! Mommy Madness Houston kicked off today at 12:01AM. Today was the perfect day for it. Life was madness around here. (To people like me, madness is a great thing. It gives you that rush. That 'activating all your senses' kind of rush.) The computer crashed - due to a virus - early, early Sunday morning. Thankfully, I thought a few hours before that would be super time to back up my photos and documents. So other than all my software, settings, and web contact information for everyone I know, I have all I need. :) Please send me an email, if you would, so I can update my outlook.
After spending most of the day yesterday on the phone with Dell on-call, I was able to get my internet and outlook back up. Hooray! Life line restored! Now for some blog therapy. Oh, and can someone please look to the left of my blog address in the URL area and tell me if my favicon (that apple slice) is still there? I switched to Firefox and I can't see it. Thanks for helping to restore the peace.
Now for the good stuff...
Have I told you lately that I love the Chevy Traverse? Really, the more I drive it the more I love it. Let me rephrase that, the more I look at it, the more I love it! (driving helps too) I find my self stopping by the bedroom window (the window that overlooks the drive) just to check on (read, admire) my purple beauty. Today we took at trip down to Galveston Island, in the Traverse of course. (Yes, as soon as I get the software back, I will post pictures.) Joe drove; I did nothing in the comfort of the ultra spacious passenger seat. As a woman who normally will take two vehicles, even on a 1000 mile trip, to avoid having to ride in the passenger seat, the Traverse may have me demanding a chauffeur more often. We had the double BOB, umbrella stroller, my 15 'must have' bags (3 really), the cooler and a huge stash of sand toys in the back, and I still had a perfect platform to change Boston's diaper before hitting the beach. Hey, you do what you gotta do.

I know all about the Dell supports calls! Ugh! Glad your computer is fixed!
Hi! I'm on the Dallas MomSquad. Aren't you loving your new Traverse! I like your site and hope you will check out mine. Good luck in the contest!! Maybe I'll see you at the spa (fingers crossed)!
Hi Angie,
I am really excited to see your travels with the new car. I wrote a quick comment on your mommy madness page, but wanted to come here to your blog to introduce myself.
I'm Jennifer. Mom to Cole, 4, and Kyle, 7 mos, wife of Tom. I'm a Texas native, so WELCOME to Texas and Houston. I think it's the best city in the whole world (and I've lived a few other places - including Germany[ army brat] - )
We're actually looking for a new car, and the Traverse is one of the two cars we're actively looking at. We're even going this weekend to re-test drive both cars back-to-back to see if that can help me make up my mind. I want to know everything that you think of about this car ~ it's a big purchase (and a long term one) for us, and I want to make the right decision.
It is very nice to meet you (chat with you) and know more about you and let you know more about us during the next few weeks. Thanks for taking on this challenge and letting us other mommies know if this really is a good mom-car or if we should skip it.
Thanks,
jen
