Thursday Night Cruise In




I did it. I put insurance on the Corvette. First time I drove it this year. Awesome. It has 79802 miles on it. For a 85 that is low mileage. Then the kicker at 1.09 a litre it took me $78.02 to fill the thing with premium. OUCH.

DH was going to come in and watch the kids so I could go to the cruise in. Then he said he couldn't make it home. So I arranged for Mom to watch the kids so I could go. Then DH said he was coming home. So I left the kids with Mom and DH and I went cruising. WOOHOO.

Loved having the vette out on a beautiful evening with the top off and the wind blowing in my hair. With my hubby by my side. Such a beautiful feeling.

I got to see people I haven't seen since last summer, and of course DH being the car nut he is new even more people than I did.

THE BEST part though was I got to sit in a Brand new 2006 Z06 corvette. It only has 406 KM on it. Was delivered on Monday. Talk about drool. OMG what a ride. I knew I wanted one but now I REALLY want one. OMG.

DROOL DROOL DROOL

I was concerned about sitting in it, as I knew once I would that my vette would just not feel the same afterwards. But you know what, I love Speedy. I truly do. What a great car I have. It is so fun, so freeing, and just truly a passion for me.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
