This weekend I went to see The Boy again. It was great (per usual). I stayed Friday to Monday. Both Monday and Friday were mainly us chillin laying about. Saturday we went to Richmond *cue Jonathan pointing to the sky* to see a roller derby game, which was pretty cool. The Richmond A and B teams both won. We met up with his friend Katie, who is

Count this double for your last post too AWWWWWW!

And I'm really glad you're learning to drive- and at such a comfortable pace!

Miss you!

Yeah, I'm glad I'm finally learning too. It's long overdue.

Miss you, too!

Yeah, the driving thing gets better the more you do it. Good thing the first thing you hit wasn't someone else's car...

Oh I still freeze when I see other cars. lol The car doesn't move when I see another car anywhere near when I'm driving. I'm really glad that bin was there between the car and the side of his father's house. =/ And that the bin was plastic and not metal or something.

Sounds like a very good weekend -- cozy times with the sweetheart & taking on the challenge of driving lessons. I hope it goes well & that you're soon enjoying the experience of driving.

Practicing driving with a calm person makes all the difference -- I got my license "late" (age 23) because I drove 4 wheeled vehicles badly and made folks nervous when they tried to teach me in high school (strangely enough, I learned to drive a friend's Vespa in about 30 minutes without any problems with balance, controls, speed, swerving, etc). I just relied upon public transit for a while and then tried driving again, paying for my own lessons with a stranger -- this time I was able to relax and stay focused.

Thanks! Me too! Like Mars (papi) said I think I just need more time and to feel comfy with it. I have yet to go over 8 or so mph. lol

"I just relied upon public transit for a while and then tried driving again, paying for my own lessons with a stranger"

Yeah, in NY is not uncommon for someone to learn "late." I've had no need all this time with our mass transit system. also my brother has been claiming he'll teach me for years. I was about ready to start saving to pay for lessons. But I really think I just need time behind the wheel.

I don't know how I missed this entry, but lol @ Methuselah.

As everyone said, it takes practice. Just try to stay relaxed while driving. :)

"Just try to stay relaxed while driving. :)"

I think I will be more relaxed next time. My next goal is to go above 10 mph. lol
