Driving

I've been taking the classroom part of driver's ed classes for a while, and today my instructor took me driving. First we went to an empty parking lot and I attempted to park. That was probably the hardest part- judging when to turn and when to straighten the wheel. But I wasn't too, too bad. It took me forever to remember which way to turn the wheel when I was in reverse. :-)
After I finished parking, my instructor took me to Shenandoah, and I drove around in there for a while. Then she directed me across town to pick up another student. I went through stop lights and I was all up in traffic. I went over the interstate, too. She said that I did well for my first lesson. So, I'll see how I do the rest of this week. I'm pooped. Who knew driving could make someone so tired!

This was also sent to me. I did edit it a good bit, so it doesn't have a real ending to it. But it has some really good ideas of what to look for in a guy.

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you
back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, '...that's her."

I promise to try to write more of my own stuff, but all of my friends send me such cool stuff. :-)

Get everyone across the river.

The Violin

i've been taking violin lessons since january. right now i'm enjoying it, but i'm so frustrated because i can't understand the difference between a flat note, a sharp note, a natural note, and all those other notes. it's so hard to understand, but hopefully i'll get the hang of it soon. gtg.
