Baby you got the keys, now shut up and drive

After three years, I have finally taken the next step in this relationship. While I have always had a love-hate (mostly hate) relationship with driving, I decided the only way for us to function was if I strengthened my commitment to it. So, I now have my driver's license. I know you thought this day would never come; I know I did. But now it has. And I can only hope that my relationship with driving will just continue to increase now that we finally have some alone time together.

We should also probably stop using my mom's car...

"Got you where you wanna go if you know what i mean
Got a ride that smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy then we can go all night"

Drop on the deck and flop like a fish

I used to wonder how SpongeBob could not pass the boating test after all that time. If everyone else could do it, surely he could too? But now I have had my learners permit for three years, and I no longer wonder. I also have decided to use this realization of mine and SpongeBob's similar experiences to make myself seem cooler. Sure, you got your drivers license when you were 16, but I'm like the guy who lives in a pineapple, and who everybody loves. And I know I haven't been going at it for quite as long as he has, but I crashed into my brother's car the other day while pulling out of the driveway, so we'll see. You know, when I drive and my mom gets all mad and upset, she kind of puffs up too.

A pugly situation

I was driving to Harper today. I was doing my best, but let's be honest I'm not a very good driver. The driving was going ok though, that is, until a dog ran across the busy, 45mph street- right in front of my car. I tried to slow down without slamming the breaks so I wouldn't get hit from behind, but as I came closer to where the dog was it was clear that I wouln't be able to stop before I got to him. I quickly looked to my right and thank God there were no cars there and I moved over and stopped because the dog was still crossing. At that point the dog was somewhere behind me although I couldn't see him and I was worried that he might have gone under the car. Then I saw him though and drove off, but as I did I saw in my rearview mirror that little pug run back accross the street in the opposite direction.

I hope that dog picks a side of the street and sticks to it because I'm afraid if he keeps running back and forth, on my way back home I will see him again, but, this time, he won't be running.

Hypocritical indecisiveness

Recently I have learned how to turn pretty much anything into a blog post. I have so many ideas that when I don't post it's because I can't decide which thing to write about. So here's random posting again.

VBS is over! Yay! Though I admit those little kids grew on me and I'm gonna miss them (except for Little Sarah, the annoying one who cried all the time).

I got to see my old babysitters and their babies the other day because they're in town. I was kind of afraid of the babies since I hadn't been having good luck with children, but it was fine. Those babies are so darn cute.

My 18-year old cousin is in the hospital right now. I'm sure she's gonna be fine, but it's scary that she's staying over there.

After riding my bike to Target- I hurt. However, I do not regret not having my license because I have so many reasons not to. I am a little hurt that my friend says she's getting her license soon. We both took driver's ed at the same time and we both failed it. It was a special thing that we had.

My laptop has been driving me crazy. It randomly likes to switch to battery even though it's plugged in. When I don't notice, it dies. When I do notice I look like a freak shaking the cord and trying to verbally encourage it to work.

I am annoyed at my friends who replied 'maybe' to my facebook invitation for my birthday celebration. Make up your mind. Seriously.
