Driving into the suburbs:

I've been a real city girl for the last 4 years. No car meant that I basically stayed inside the city limits, with an occasional foray into Oak Park or some Metra-accesible suburb. But now I have a car and I drove to Schaumburg this morning. I remembered how much I missed driving. I also, unfortunately, remembered how much I hated getting lost when a wrong turn on the Kennedy led me practically into Wisconsin. So I was almost an hour late. Which sucked. I blame Mapquest, which didn't tell me what to do when I-90 and I-94 split.

Oh well. I got a nice drive on the Tollway, I suppose.
