...down across the border. 
Disposable diapers (which we bought to make the trip easier, theoretically) have a horrid, pungent, perfumey odor that permeates everything, especially when in the close quarters of a vehicle, and made me gag repeatedly. Ugh -- I can still smell them now, even though we're back.
Cell phones don't work well if you accidentally back over one with your minivan.
Mexican coca-cola comes in these lovely little glass bottles and is made with real sugar instead of corn syrup and helps calm a dodgy stomach caused by breathing too many disposable diaper fumes quite nicely.
I bought two cases of it to bring back home.
Juniper bushes, while ordinarily a lovely, green addition to the desert landscape, are NOT your friend in late February/early March, when they release billowy clouds of pollen and cause your poor, pg, immunosuppressed body to sneeze uncontrollably. Achoo!
:
Gorditas are food of the gods. Really, truly. So are strawberries and cream paletas (Mexican popsicles.)
Travelling and staying up FAR too late can turn you from being a mere 9 1/2 wks. pg when you start out the day to looking 17 mos. pg by the time you go to sleep. Amazing!
3 days of intermittent car travel is just enough time to get 12" worth of a newborn pair of longies knitted.
I have neither any ideas nor any desire to cook dinner for my family tonight.
That is all. How was your weekend?

(I am a grad student and writing--or trying to write--my Master's thesis.) So I spent most of yesterday laying around the house feeling guilty about laying around.
which did improve my mood some--and somehow brownies I don't mind cooking and eating, its just regular food that I hate!
: I meant Guinevere. . . its just the preg brain doing its thing.
