Weekend Full of Softball/Got My License Post
Today (well technically yesterday since it’s after midnight) I completed my behind the wheel education. I am now the proud owner of a blue piece of paper that serves as my temporary license, until they call me to court to get my real one. My father added me to our insurance policy today as well. Victoria, my friend, came over. We ate supper to celebrate, then I drove us to the library. Surprised? Not really.
Now that all that has been taken care of, there is nothing left to do but bring home the perfect car. Mama, Daddy, and I have searched and searched. We have looked at Pontiac Vibes, Pontiac g5s, Pontiac g6s, the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit (which I fell in love with, but are too expensive even used), Mustangs, Chevy Cobalts, PT Cruisers, Mini Coopers, etc. I’m so tired of cars.
I’ve sat in cars with leather seats, I’ve sat in clean cars, dirty cars. I have sat in cars with heated and cooled seats, heated and cooled cupholders, cars with ten cupholders, cars with storage compartments… and I could go on and on. I’m just ready to get a car already. My mother does not like me driving her vehicle and it’s inconvenient for me. I’m home all day, with no vehicle basically. I am insured to drive everything sitting in the yard. When my father leaves for work, there are two vehicles left (two are gone–Mama driving Jeep, Daddy driving little truck). The two vehicles are a freaking HUGE Dodge cab and a half and a stick shift Dodge truck. Can’t drive stick and I hate driving that truck because I can’t see, especially with the camper shell on it. So I’m stranded, until they get me a car. Mama is working on a big project at work right now, but it is due at noon on Friday. She is planning on taking Friday afternoon off from work to go car shopping with me, again. I have been to look at cars about five times, sometimes going to multiple car lots (the most was four car lots in one of those trips). I’m just ready for her to purchase me the right vehicle and for me to get driving it!
This weekend is also a HUGE weekend, because our All Star team is traveling three hours to play in a USFA tournament in Dunn, NC. It’s going to be a long weekend. We are leaving early Saturday morning, spending the night so we won’t have to come back up on Sunday. My sister is not coming with us, she is staying home to receive lessons since this will be the last weekend before her surgery. She is being operated on not this Friday, but the next.
Anyway, that’s all I have to say. I really need to drag myself to bed.
