A new experience- Drivers (d)E(a)D Part 1.

Interesting title, ah? Obviously, I'm learning how to drive, and hence I've had to take driver's Ed. (or Driver's dead). It wasn't the most horrible experience ever, I mean I'm alive and well right now.

In order to get my licence, I have to get my permit. In order to get my permit, I have to do three things:

1. Sit through 36 hours of class time to teach you about driving and take a 200 question test about it.


2. Get my eyes checked


3. Drive for 6 hours with an instructor.

So, I did NOT want to sit through 36 hours of class time!! But the good side to number 1 is that they make you take the test first, and if you score at least an 80%, you don't have to take the class. However, may I remind you that the test is 200 questions long! My friend (who is very smart;- yes that's you Katie) took the test and told me that she barely passed (At least I think that is the way it went). Needless to say, I was very nervous.

I am also very uncomfortable in public schools. Especially public high schools. I guess it's because I've been home schooled all me life.

To sum the test up, I passed, and I was VERY relieved! Next step; eyes checked....

Easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next step......DRIVING!!

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm alive!

Good news guys!

I lived through the dentist!(previous post) Even more surprising, I lived through it without getting injured! Let me explain my experience....

We walk into the dentist....it's a nice, cozy little building. We happened to be a few minutes late(cough, cough) but, they were waiting for us and took us back as soon as we showed up. Talk about fast service.

My hygentist asked mama if I had any health issues- now I know they have to ask that question, but seriously lady! Do I look sick??? No! Plus, I'm standing right here, you can ask me! Of course I didn't say that out loud, that's not very Christianly. It's more Christianly for me to come here and talk about her to ya'll, right? (that was sarcasm in case you didn't know!) :)

I go into a little room where I take my seat. After the x-rays and all, she sits down to start the cleaning of my teeth. Not bad so far. But then the masking comes. Normally, the hygentists where little mouth and nose covering things, so they don't breath in bad germs, (I guess). Not this lady. She was fully geared in a mouth, and nose mask, and also a whole facial shield. Literally, she pulled down a huge piece of plexi-glass down over her face, like I'm fixing to breath fire on her!! Yowza!

After I come out of my little room, Josh is sitting on a chair, and asks me, "What did you get in your goody bag?"

I look at him and reply, "um, a red toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. Did you get the same?"

He says, "that's all you got? I got all that, plus a pencil, and a yellow squishy ball. I got to pick something out of the treasure box!"

Not that I really care about pencils and yellow squishy balls, but really....I guess once get older than 12, they move you up to "adult" level. No more pencils, or squishy balls for me!!

The dreaded chair...those horrible masks...and-those weird-keep-you-from-drooling-on-your-clothes-type bib things. It's all summed up in one word- The Dentist. (shudder from author).

I know that dentists are supposed to be nice and sweet(or not so sweet) and all, but really, I mean who likes going to the dentist?? (No offense to any of my readers who are, or know someone who is a dentist) Okay, let me clarify, besides those who like getting their teeth cleaned, who likes the dentist? :)

Naw-really, I'm just kidding. I like the dentist better than the doctor, but anyone who puts me off alone with them in a room, to examine me in some way; creeps me out! I dread this time of year.

Yes, I'm sure you've guessed it by now...I'm going to the dentist, soon. Deep, deep down in my heart of hearts, I am very thankful for the people who accept their job of cleaning my teeth. I mean, if they didn't do it, no one else would! So, (in total contradictory to the first paragraph of my post) I say, let's give it up for dentists!!

I'll (hopefully) update you on my trip to the dentist later!

PS. Please...No one take any offense. If you know me, you'll understand! :)

Ponder these words today my dear blog readers! :)

Just musing

I've been thinking lately about something I could blog about, but could find nothing. I'd think to myself..."I really should update my blog...hhmmm, maybe tomorrow??" That's me. I love to read other people's blogs, and I know others feel the same way about mine.(or do they?) Sometimes a problem I have is not knowing what to write about. I mean, my life is anything but boring, I have plenty of things to blog about, but choosing one, and finding a time to do it is just a little challenging!

So... here is my plea(and an urgent one, mind you!)

Tell me what you want to read more of. Anything! Here are some options (but not limited too) to get you going.

• Daily life
• Random tags, or fun posts that are random(like me!!)
• Pictures of random things
• School thoughts (beware, I may use this to reteach ya'll things! Does Latin sound fun?)
• My view on Biblical topics (which will be better than it may sound!)
• Praise to the Lord
• Recipes
• Links to good videos, or songs, or my favorite blogs! (hhmmm that gave me an idea!)
• etc. etc. etc. etc...........................................(you get the point)

Let me know, by leaving a comment, with more than one option please!!
