As noted earlier, CJ got his driver's permit today. I had him drive around the road in our apartment complex and then out onto a neighboring street that doesn't get too much traffic. Most of the streets around us are high traffic, 45 mph streets, so I'm going to have to find another area where he can get comfortable driving before having to deal with speed and traffic at the same time.
Since he is over 16, he doesn't HAVE to have paid driver's ed hours. He just needs an added 12 hours driving with me, over the usual 50. And that is over the next 12 months. So far he has 10 minutes. Wheeeee.
Suzi, do you have any large shopping malls nearby? I learned to drive at Stonestown after hours. Plenty of room to feel comfortable without destroying anything.
I did have an awesome time! I can easily see why people fall in love with the islands and never want to leave.
Yay for extra nursing for Grace!
and smonster, I do like that first pair of boots. Yowza! I am very tempted.
There is a shopping mall we could hit in the early morning or late at night. While he needs night driving hours, I want him comfortable in the daylight first. I'm also thinking of the Denver Tech Center area after work hours. Just a bummer that with each of those, I'll have to drive him there and then let him drive.
Man, those shoes Jilli linked are pretty. And I want. But if I had the money to afford those shoes, I'd rather spend it on air fare. I am feeling the need for a trip.
My dad took me to school parking lots on weekends.
And yeah, I have a personal grudge against pancreatic cancer.
Me too. Lost my father to it around 12 years ago. Don't need punctuation or anything at this late date, but yeah pancreatic cancer should burn in hell.
These are the 'vogs I'm currently drooling over.
Badass.
(Burrell, I think sarameg linked the boots you were thinking of. Which are indeed gorgeous.)
ita !, I hope you got some relief, even if the delivery was way far from being ideal.
Kat, glad Grace will get more nursing coverage.
Contractors told me they'd be here at 8am. If they get here within the next 5 minutes they'll be almost as punctual as I normally am. Anything beyond that might annoy me. I wonder if there are studies on the expectations of timeliness in different cultures. (It's early for me. I'm rambling.)
Debt collectors throw out a wide net, don't they? I'm getting obnoxiously early phone calls for a Geneva [my last name]. That's a bit of a stretch.
