Only 10 Years Late

As of this Saturday, 11 years and nine learner's permits after starting the process, I am officially a licensed driver.

As a not "dyed in the wool", but "color is part of the synthetic fiber" suburbanite, driving == freedom.

It's true. That's the deal with the suburbs. Things will be much more convenient now, since that's where I live. I needed to do this and I'm glad I did. But, as a small town/big city girl, I'm never going to stop hating places where you can't take a goddamn walk.

Yay!

Although the picture seems to convey a certain sense of terror and disbelief.

I know, because I see it every day in the mirror as I am realizing "they" are going to let me have a baby.

So glad I married a grown up...

Ha! It kind of does, doesn't it? I think mostly that expression is 'it's before 9am and I don't like it' but then, that's a pretty good proxy for my feelings about driving on the beltway, too.

I like having a designated grownup system. Keep enough people who are sort of grownups or at least capable of being grownups in short bursts around that at any time someone's got it covered. (Kkay, it's usually Gloria or Jason, but, y'know, still.)

Also, woah! Baby soon!

Take me to your FroYo, earthling.

I like to think that the face in this photo is actually your driver's license pic :)

Congrats!!

To Annapolis, Bat-Girl!
