\nMommy vision
\n25 February 2008<\/p>\n
Matt and I are considering the purchase of an SUV, the Toyota RAV4 to be exact.\u00c2\u00a0 “Why?!” you ask, “Why, when you are a hippy and\u00c2\u00a0your husband\u00c2\u00a0is European and both of\u00c2\u00a0these groups cling to small, fuel-efficient cars with an unmatched self-righteous passion, are you considering an SUV?”<\/p>\n
SUVs really fit our current lifestyle.\u00c2\u00a0 After Matt, myself, and both the kids in their carseats have been put into the car and the two strollers have been put into the trunk, my car is completely full<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 So we’re moving up a size.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re looking to move up a size in house as well within the next couple of years.\u00c2\u00a0 Bigger family, bigger car, bigger house, bigger bills.<\/p>\n My only real fear is that we will not be allowed back into Austin.\u00c2\u00a0 Folks that don’t live here\u00c2\u00a0don’t realize that you actually have to fill out a questionnaire in order to become a resident of Austin.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is\u00c2\u00a0a sample of some of the questions (to gain residency, you\u00c2\u00a0must answer “yes” to 90% of the questions):<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n 4.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you have a tattoo, body piercing, brightly colored dyed hair or dreadlocks?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n 5.\u00c2\u00a0 Are you gay or\u00c2\u00a0do you have a friend who is\u00c2\u00a0gay?<\/p>\n 6.\u00c2\u00a0 Are you in a band or do you have a friend who is in a band?<\/p>\n 11.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you own at least two domain names and\/or two DBAs?<\/p>\n 15.\u00c2\u00a0 Is some of the software on your home computer open-source?<\/p>\n 16.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you own a Linux server?<\/p>\n (If you don’t know what open-source software or Linux is, the city planners feel it is best that you stop at this point and move to Round Rock or Pflugerville first and slowly become acclimated to Austin society before moving directly into Austin.)<\/p>\n 20.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you own a small, fuel-efficient (preferably hybrid) car and openly mock people with large vehicles?<\/p>\n 28.\u00c2\u00a0 Would you vote for a transient cross-dresser and\/or a fictitious comic strip character\u00c2\u00a0for political office?<\/p>\n 34.\u00c2\u00a0 For at least five years of your life, were you enrolled in college (the years do not have to be consecutive and actual graduation is optional)?<\/p>\n 39.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you feel the Democratic Party is too conservative?<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n The longer I live in the suburbs, the more I am assimilated.\u00c2\u00a0 If we get this SUV, I am one step closer to being a true suburban mommy.\u00c2\u00a0 Now I just need a bumper sticker that says, “My child is an honor student at her preschool” to put on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mommy vision 25 February 2008 Matt and I are considering the purchase of an SUV, the Toyota RAV4 to be exact.\u00c2\u00a0 “Why?!” you ask, “Why, when you are a hippy and\u00c2\u00a0your husband\u00c2\u00a0is European and both of\u00c2\u00a0these groups cling to small, fuel-efficient cars with an unmatched self-righteous passion, are you considering an SUV?” SUVs really fit […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-austin","category-surburbia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=171"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
