~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So why am I “afraid” to drive? That’s basically the 6-million dollar question I get everytime I tell people I don’t drive…yet…after almost 8 years of being here in the US. My answer is I’m not afraid of the driving itself. Well, maybe just a little. What's my bigger fear then? Getting L-O-S-T!!! I think only my husband and those people I’ve been in a car with know that my sense of direction is not the best. How bad? I remember riding with the directress of a school I used to work for. The two of us were going to visit another school. She was driving and I was on the passenger’s seat of course. She asked me to remember the directions and take notes of the signs [yep, like that exit sign on the freeway]. Guess what? I wasn’t able to do that. I thought she was going to fire me after that trip...LOL. Fortunately, my teaching is much better than my sense of direction so I managed to keep my job. So how bad is my sense of direction when I'm no...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If last week we had the perfect weather all week long, this week is totally different. It's cold and wet outside as we have cold front coming in the area coupled with some rain. My new career ...err....raking has to be put on hold as it's a bit too wet to do that. I hope that the weather will get back to what it was last week so I can continue with my mission of making our yard weed and dry leaves free. I really want to start a garden this year. That's one of my resolutions, remember. Speaking of resolutions, one of them if you may recall in my post is my aim to learn driving this year. We only have one car right now and it's the one that my husband drives to work. He said that once I start driving, he will get another one for him. But before I start learning, he has to make sure the car we have right now is on a good working condition so he's been looking into different performance parts online in case some parts need changed whe...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’ve been saying here that one of my goals this year is to finally get on my driving lessons. I haven’t tried yet mind you but I’m slowly getting the nerve to try very soon. As part of my so called learning process I now listen more to the husband when he talks about car stuff. Like last time he said that he’s looking to buy power steering rack . I had no idea what that is so I went online and check it out. I try not to ask him too many question because I’m afraid he may think I don’t listen to him….haha. Anyway, I also found a site for him to check so I’ll be in his ‘good’ list for a while.
