How do we celebrate an anniversary? With a sore throat!

My husband and I have now been married for a decade. I don't feel old enough to be married for a decade. It's a bit surreal.

We test-drove a Suburban yesterday. It was a two-year-old truck that was very clean except for the... smoky smell inside. We kept telling ourselves that it wasn't that bad, because the XM radio/DVD player/4X4/leather seats were oh so enticing. When we went to a Mexican restaurant right afterward to talk about it, we realized that we were all congested from the cigarette smoke. So we kept talking about it. And we went to a detailing place to see if they thought that they could get the smoky smell out. The man said, "Maybe." A $30,ooo investment into 'maybe' is a bit much for us. Plus, do we really need a Suburban when we could get a minivan that can also haul stuff and get better gas mileage? I'm thinking that an Odyssey or a Sienna is a better choice for us.

Oh, and I still have a sore throat from the Suburban.

We're off to stay in a cabin next weekend. Hiking fun for the family!
