wow. that definitely sounds like the road trip from hell. i love the bit about procrastinating. i do that all the time (although not to sew, since i am not a seamstress. i rely on my mom for that!) "it was too rainy to sew. the weather was too nice to be cooped up inside." classic!:) i have a puking baby today and am grateful that we are not on a 16 hour road trip. at least i can stay home and change her outfits frequently while doing ten loads of laundry.
