I sailed happily along Montana highways (no posted speed limit), smiling to myself, excited to be heading to our new home. In fact, so thrilled was I that I didn't even stop to think that maybe Tom wasn't behind me. What could go wrong?

Well, everything. Unbeknownst to me,repparttar truck's axle had broken, leaving Tom and Tara and Thor stranded alongrepparttar 110256 road miles behind me. He tried to call me on my cell phone, but so blissful was I that I had, ahem, turned off my phone. They ended up hitching a ride inrepparttar 110257 filthy cab of a junk-hauling pick- up with three other people (hyper dog included) for over an hour to stay at a hotel (hyper dog included) untilrepparttar 110258 next day whenrepparttar 110259 truck was repaired.

Needless to say, I got an earful when we were all reunited in Missoula. I felt terrible, and yet I couldn't help but laugh atrepparttar 110260 thought of them stranded in Idaho with our out-of-control dog yanking our daughter hither and yon while Tom is calling my cell phone repeatedly. Fortunately, Tom and Tara laughed about it too--eventually.

What did I learn? •It is possible to be mindless and happy atrepparttar 110261 same time. •It is not possible to hear your cell phone when it is turned off. •Be wary of U-Haul's promised "Adventure In Moving"... •Stay connected, stay connected, stay connected. •Sometimes it's better to go slowly, even if you're stuck behind a truck. •Make sure you are married to someone who can laugh with you instead of holding a grudge. •Mindless moments can lead to mindfulness. •Marriage can make you more mindful--especially if you stick with it for twenty years.
