And reality rears its ugly head...

Crap. I just realized that we're going to have to get a new minivan.

It was bad enough that I turned 30, had my first child and had to get a minivan (let me tell, my cool quotient went WAY down in 2003).

Now, just as I was seeing the light at the the minivan hell tunnel, this happens. (sigh)

I just can't catch a break.
