Hey, He Had A Choice When He Picked Me

While driving tonight:

Mike: Are we good on that side?

Jennie: Yep. We're good.

Mike starts to turn left.

Jennie: Well, we're good if you go quickly.

Mike: Maybe we should clarify "good" for next time, OK?

Too funny! You must have been turning across one of those 6 lane plus a turn lane Texas death traps!

I had to read that 3 times before I got that you were in a car. My brain is quick, I tell ya.

Camels & Chocolate

I'm the worst navigator ever. I honestly can't believe California granted me a license (I missed the maximum number you could on the test) and the dealership a car. People like me shouldn't be allowed on the road, honestly. In my defense, though, it's been more than three years since I've lived anywhere that required a car...

That's too funny. We have the same conversation play out frequently. So now the conversations go like this:
c - can I get over
fh- if you go right now (EXCLAMATION POINT)
c - now?
fh - too late
c- what about now?
fh - just flipping go - I'm sure they'll break.

I hate that question because THEN I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE if something happens.

At least he asks! Jon has almost killed us several times. And he calls me a bad driver!

Wills does not ask.

This would be why he got a desk calendar for bad drivers for Christmas. No joke.

This is funny. It's sweet that he trusts you. I never trust anyone to tell me if we're good when I'm turning left except Torsten.

That's funny! My hubby is a pokey driver - thinks he saves money on gas - whatever - I say punch it or we'll never get there!

Someone Being Me

My husband drives me crazy in the car. I think the divorce rate will go down when they figure out how to do autopilot on cars. I know the GPS sure helped stave off a lot of fights for us. That goodness for automation.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
