Really, Dana? I didn't have to take a driving test to get my WA State license! Is your TX one expired or something?

I frequently have to parallel park with as little as 3 inches of space on either side of the car when I'm done. Otherwise I'd be circling my block all night every night. Practice helps!

I never know if I'll be able to parallel park successfully. Some days, I am the master of tiny spaces, and other days I am sailing on the geometry failboat.

Parallel parking is one thing I can kinda do about driving. It's done veeeery slowly and the only car moving is you. Since it's speed and other moving cars that terrify me, I am okay with it.
I didn't even have to take a written test to get a GA license, and the eye exam was ridiculous - 4 big letters. But I had to have a birth certificate to prove I ain't no terrorist.

Aw, my hairstylist had her baby on the 18th. She just sent around pictures. If I didn't know better, I'd think she was related to Plei, because her new daughter has Lilybean-ish eyes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was pretty much my deal with driving, too. However, I have a valid NYS license, thanks to being able to just swap out my old one. A friend of mine just got her first driver's license! It's exciting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe the website lies. On the other hand, it lists the wait time at the driver's license office, so I forgive it for any mistakes.
I'm pretty sure I have to pass the written test.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm not the only car moving! There are other cars on the road I'm trying to park from! What if I park and can't get out? Aargh!
Huh. I have issues. Who knew? Anyway, it doesn't much matter here because the only parallel parking in town was if you wanted to park directly in front of the local pizza dive. And now the town has torn down that joint to make an intersection. Which is sad.
But okay, because the owner has invited us over for Sunday dinner at some point in the unspecified future, which will rock, and we will lord over the rest of the town. Also we bought some of her pizza pans.

Hah. Somehow I was reading Liese as lisah and wondering how you get away with not parallel parking in Baltimore.

I just realized I could use this aromatherapy neck thing I've had for a while, even though I don't have a microwave (you're supposed to either heat or cool it). The smell is good, and the weight is helping put my shoulders down a little. I need a massage.
