The name is Percy and I have a license... to drive!

Yes, the long two year wait for my license is FINALLY over! So now the city of Memphis is no longer safe. Yes, the sidewalks will have to be cleared! :~) I was nervous as anything getting this, but tried hard not to let it show. Unfortunately, that resolve did not last long. May I say one thing... Can't white people get jobs working for the city? Talk about feeling a little out of place! I was the whitest person in there! Well, I'm usually the whitest person anywhere I go, but that's not the point. Oh, and you would think that the city doesn't get any money the way they price the licenses. I thought that maybe, just maybe, a 20 would do it. You'd think right? NOOO... 26.50 I had to pay for that lovely piece of plastic. My age didn't come into the equation at all, except for the weird looks I got when I told them I wanted my license and that I was 22!

Then came the fun part, the actual test. My test person looked like she could make the army run for cover, then fail them on their test. Jamey asked me if I joked at all with her, I said no. I was too nervous to do anything but drive. I was so nervous when she told me to put my right blinker on I put on my left one, twice! Well, she didn't fail me for that. The test was insultingly easy. I mean come on, I just had to drive in basically a giant circle. On the road of course and it wasn't really a circle, but more of a square. But there was no cones and no backing up, except for what I had to do to get out of the parking space. No wonder Memphis drivers are so bad. I'm sorry but when a test fails to test me, that's pretty bad. Oh well, at least I finally got it right? :~) Now the world (or at least Memphis) will have to bow to my driving will whenever I have the car! (evil laughter inserted here)

Monday night baseball was very interesting and fun, if you were routing for the other team. Don't get me wrong, the Redbirds did not disappoint me, I expected them to lose. Hoping for a win, but they were playing a team that was on the top and they were on the bottom. But they only lost by 3 points, so it wasn't that bad. That and the fact Jamey likes to go to a ball game regardless if his team wins or not.

Wed. night Jason, Jamey and I went to Jackson to church. They have an old college friend that goes to that church, so we decided to go there. That was fun for them and I got to meet yet another goofy person that went to Freed. Jason and Jamey totally enjoyed themselves. I had fun too, but they really had a time. Oh and Scott, the guy we went to see, didn't know that Jamey had gotten married. That was fun telling him. :~)

Not that I really mind Jason being here, but his car broke down and he thought that he was just going to need a place for a few nights. It has since turned into a week long visit. It's not Jason's fault that the car mechanic decided to fix everyone else's car first, even the ones that came in after his. And that's not even the worst part, the mechanic is going on vacation next week! So Jason probably will be out of transportation for another two weeks! Since Sarah and Danny will be coming in a week, Jason will be staying with a preacher from our church. I like Jason and all, but have gotten used to him not being here. I know that sounds bad, but it's true. Anyway, I hope that he will get his car back soon.

Since I'm going to be in Nashville for the weekend I decided to fix up my nails. Yes, they're fake ones. Aren't they pretty though? I got them before I got married, and haven't really had the right occasion to wear them. I figured that going to see a lot of reality stars and the fact that I will be a VIP, I might as well have nice nails! :~) They weren't that hard to put on... My skin didn't stick to itself that much! :~)

One more thing before I go and forget to pack something important for our trip... Mommy, you know what I mean! Well, I went on Jamey's blog and found that he got himself a rating for it... so I had to do that for this blog. And apparently, this blog is not safe to let your children view by themselves! :~O Horrors, I got a PG rating! How will I cope, how can I look myself in the mirror again? Easy, trust me. :~)

Well, I've put off packing long enough. Jamey went to work early so we could get started earlier. Don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures! Nashville beware!! ;~)
