Geez, I have a hard time getting in and out of the things -- no WAY could
I just step out of it dressed in that kind of get-up gracefully! (And
it's not just that I'm pregnant now -- I can't climb out of anything that
high gracefully under the most ideal of circumstances!)
What are these people thinking?
And isn't NYC just about one of the worst spots to try to park the darn
thing? (I sure wouldn't want to have anything as big as my own car, let
alone an SUV, in DC, either.)
And if it were a roof raising, wouldn't she risk breaking one of those
perfect nails? ;)
