Driving for me is a love/hate relasionship. I couldn't wait to be old enough to drive. The first week I had my first car "A 1973 Pontiac Le Mans" I had two accidents & one speeding ticket. That car was fast! I can't count how many times I've spun out or slid into the ditch due to snow & ice.
The older I got I realized that I was fine in the rural areas. Driving in urban settings I feel myself tense & I start to get "The Fear". Add snow to either & I get "The Fear". This has held me back & I'm sure I've missed out on great happenings & places. When I cancel things or whatever to get out of driving I feel terrible guilty, but "The Fear" ALWAYS out weighs the guilt. I have made some headway. I drove a couple hours on our trip to RI. It was sad though, it was a 16 hour trip, Both ways I may have only driven 4 hours total. It was a step in the face of "The Fear" though. Brian was my hero driving in that traffic hell "The East Coast". I used to call in sick to work if I thought there was too much snow. I would get "The Fear" & pick up the phone. Now I am able to plow through the short distance into town. I push "The Fear" down & just get it done! Sometimes I've even had fun playing in the snow with my Tracker, as long as no cars are coming, LOL. My Geo Tracker is by far my most favorite car. It is the most sure footed car I've had. And yes even though it is a 4X4 I still get "The Fear"!
I wonder if I'm more scared of the loosing control aspect of crashing. Or the getting smashed aspect?
Snow snow & more snow is all that there is to talk about today. We have more than we need. Does anyone want some snow? I've been lazy. I've been hermiting & not blogging. There really is not much going on. Bella is still a work in process. She can't hold her potty all day. I wonder if I could market a let your dog out business?
Mom got in a silly car accident (She ran a red light) & is lucky, very lucky she didn't even have a scratch! She also had surgery on Friday. I have not been able to go up to the hospital due to the snow. (My fear of driving, We can cover that at a later date:P) She's doing great & will come home tomorrow.
Public beware there is another sex offender back out on the streets. Terry Featherstone was let out of prison. Do they REALLY think that he won't offend again. I don't see his name on the registry....How do you make sure or report an unregistered offender? For those of you that do not know this person is a cousin. This was his second trip to jail. The first time he shot a lady. I remember the cops arresting him. My little cousin & I were there it was scary for kids our age. I made my first money ever testifying in court at his trial. I'm just saying DO NOT let your kids around this guy!
The time has changed finally. For us here in Indiana, this is still a weird phenomenon. Robert is taking the boats out. Worst thing is that there is snow in the forecast.
I have a hard enough time keeping my mood up, without the sun it is ten times harder! Zoie helps with her fuzzy cuddles. She also has been cracking me up staring out the window at this stupid chipmunk. The chipmunk is taunting her I swear he is. I'd have gotten a picture but it would have just reflected off the window.
My theme song for today! Life is a lemon and i want my money back
(Yes I enjoy Meatloaf) I used to go cruising in Strugis with my girl friend Dawn. She had a pink & white 1957 Dodge. That car met us more people than was normal, LOL! Today I am sad & I am embracing it!
I want my money back! I want my money back! It's all or nothing, and nothing's all I ever get Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out It's always something, there's always something going wrong
What about love? It's defective - it's always breaking in half What about sex? It's defective - it's never built to really last What about your family? It's defective - all the batteries are shot What about your friends? They're defective - all the parts are out of stock What about hope? It's defective - it's corroded and decayed What about faith? It's defective - it's tattered and it's frayed What about your Gods? They're defective - They forgot the warranty What about your town? It's defective - it's a dead end street to me What about your school? It's defective - it's a pack of useless lies What about your work? It's defective - it's a crock and then you die What about your childhood? It's defective - it's dead and buried in the past What about your future? It's defective - and you can shove it up your ass! I want my money back - life is a lemon
