Everyone who ever tried to teach me to drive stick shuddered in horror and stopped after 15 minutes.
Driving a car is full of enough peril, IMHO.

Tasks I oneroused today: made dentist appointments for children; acquired babysitter for Thursday; made haircut appointment for me for Thursday; purchased plane tickets for complicated summer travel (this required making a chart, in addition to spending $2000).
Can I get a gold star?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just figured out who I waited in line for the ladies room with at the play on Saturday--Rosalind Chao. [link] Boy, is she beautiful. like, gasp-inducingly so. Seemed very nice--not that we talked about anything but the length of the line...

Our wings are not tired.
Today was a completely miserable Monday of Mondays. Including being short with a customer. She deserved it. When I got 2 blocks away from the office I went to text DH and noticed I left the phone at the office. Bobby asked if he should go back. Hell no.
I prefer driving a manual although my current car is automatic. When I need a stick fix I can drive Bobby's Jetta. My car when I lived in Pittsburgh was auto, for which I was grateful. It seems like it would be a lot of bother to drive stick in San Francisco too. I like it when it is more fun, but I don't consider it fun in heavy traffic with hills. Too much effort.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen Rosalind Chao around too--at the mall near my house. Now Scrappy and I are connected...
Was the HBO series Real Sex scandalous at the time? Bits of if feel horribly awkward, but really, they don't hold back on much.

Woo, flea, and Kat and Noah!
I am a confirmed flatlander, I will concede that my fondness for stickshift might not survive a lot of hilly driving.
Today has been quite a Monday, but I did manage to get to the gym and try running on a treadmill. Do not like - I think it was harder on my feet and knees than running outside, is that possible? Certainly less to look at and no little rewards of getting to landmarks along the way. I suppose having the option might come in handy if the weather gets really bad, though.

19 of 53 spindle tops primed. I've got about 90 minutes in me a night before I start getting that antsy feeling where I won't stop until done and not looking at pulling an all-nighter.
