It's official.
I'm legal.
Not to drink, but to drive! Heh heh, never both at the same time. I could go off on a really long tangent about that, but I'll spare you.
This morning was my driver's test. I was very nervous and I thought, by the end, that I'd failed the test. But I didn't! I got passed, and we went to the Secretary of State's office around lunchtime to get my paper license and my picture taken for the plastic one that'll be along in the mail in "the next couple of weeks".
It's a little scary! It's legal for me to drive. By myself. Without anyone else. Scratch a little- that's very scary. But I suppose in time I'll get used to it and grow as a driver and a person. No, I'm serious! You can become a better person by getting your license. It's when you pray for the people that tailgate you and don't flip someone off when they cut you off.
It's a little tongue in cheek, but I am really serious. I'm thanking God for the grace that allowed me to pass this morning and also asking Him for the grace to get better at driving and the strength and courage to drive alone.
Good niiiiight!

Somewhere...Beyond the sea.
Or three streets down and to the left. A bookstore. A haven for the weird, the writersome, and the bookish. I love them. The prize birthday present? A giftcard to a bookstore.
So that's where I went to-night. Some people may have problems with having problems deciding what to get. You know, where they are exasperated that they're exasperated? ;) You get it.
But while I am so dang excited and not sure exactly which books to get while I'm at a bookstore, it never bothers me. In fact, I LOVE it that I have all of those marvelous choices. Ah! Bookstores are wonderful. Have I said that already? Let's say it again. I. Love. Bookstores. There we are!
Just browsing through the marvelous shelves upon shelves of books and opening up a crinkly new book and smelling that new-book smell. It's lovely. All in all, I had a lovely time tonight. If you want to make me happy, take me book-browsing/buying at a bookstore. I could stay in bookstores for hours. My chief problem in them is getting distracting by all of the interesting knick-knacks and books that are everywhere. Each book is like a happy, silent invitation! I love it.
So that was my night! It was great.
G'night!
