Lucky Bitch!

For all those times i am feeling downtrodden, unloved or just plain blah, i need to remind myself, or have a perma-link in my brain to the great things i have. Simple and complex, i am fortunate.

First and most importantly, i have a husband who loves, respects, cherishes and supports me. That alone makes me very fortunate.

OK, so i don't have a lot of friends. I'm an odd sort; a strange combination of a offbeat awkward weirdo that enjoys boring 50's housewifey things. However, the friends i do have i trust. Completely. And they rock.

I also have more material things that i need. And sometimes, finding more makes a girl happy.

Like shoes! What girl doesn't just adore a new pair of shoes?! OK, so my version of shoes aren't so girly. But they are cute and i love them and they were a bargain (the Marshals on Delaware for $19.99 a pair!).

SHOES!
i love shoes.

I love chucks -- bought a pair of green ones on my last NYC trip. The Converse website has a Ramones tribute shoe. I've been pining for an orange tie dye pair I saw on Ebay.

!! I love shoes (all kinds of shoes)!!! If I went slightly berserk and forgot for a day that I need to get groceries and eat and pay my bills, I might end up as the next Imelda Marcos. :)

I should, nay I MUST, go out and purchase a pair of those Jackass Cons. I had no idea they existed but now the knowledge will haunt me until I own some.

you gotta meet (e:janelle). It seems you have lots of stuff in common.

Locations?

I'm looking for a place to practice driving. Somewhere that doesn't have a lot of busy traffic (yeah, Elmwood on the strip isn't an option -- YET!), maybe some light traffic, open spaces and perhaps a parking lot. Anyone know of such a place?

mrmike - 08/13/07 22:04
Lee, ECC North is a good spot on the weekends, lot of space, parking space to practice with and the like

leetee - 08/13/07 18:59
Excellent point, (e:Chico)!

I'm only half-joking when I suggest downtown Buffalo on any night except Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

jenks - 08/13/07 16:22
I learned to drive in an industrial park, after hours. Is there anything like that around here? Lots of different parking lots connected by roads with stop signs etc... Or a big empty parking lot, at least at first.

mimi - 08/13/07 15:41
Oh hey - that brings back memory of drivers ed - I think I drove on Ashland, Norwood, lots of stop signs, practice parallel parking.

Art Attack!

I think we are going to take (e:Theecarey,40396)'s advice -- a trip to Lewiston's Art Festival

is on tap for the day. And yesterday afternoon, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i were at Albright Knox

. And the day before we were at The Casellani Art Museum

I think i need to get my arse up to my studio... seeing is NOT doing!

metalpeter - 08/11/07 14:30
You are right seeing is not doing. I don't do a lot of seeing cause I have no talent. If i did I wouold like art more because I would have a better undstanding of it. Glad you are having fun seeing and maybe even buying some art. Hopefully as you said you will be inspired and make some art yourself.

mrmike - 08/11/07 11:41
Seeya in Lewiston -- and we two were at the Albright yesterday also. Stop stalking me :)

Permitted

Today, i got up and thought to myself, "this is the day". So, i did the online quiz while eating some breakfast, got ready and caught the bus downtown.

(e:Uncutsaniflush) was calling me from work on his break when i was leaving and again when he got off work just after i got home.

Other than some confusion and a disagreement between staff members that involved me and what line i should be in, everything went quickly and smoothly.

I left home after 11am and got home around 2pm. Plus i stopped to have a small lunch and browse then purchase some veg from a table on Main street.

I passed the vision and written test. I now have a learner's permit. Soon, the streets will not be safe as i learn to drive...
