So I have been instructed to blog again.
There comes times when I just don't have that much to share, or that much that I really want to share. So then what's the point?
I don't know if I shared with you all or not...I was given a car. It came through as a donation and I was blessed with it. Here's the kicker - its a 5 speed and I've never driven a 5 speed before. Today was a first.
My friend Michelle was nice enough to give me a lesson. The basics on when to use the clutch, what to do with the gas and on a hill. I got used to driving around the parking lot of the high school, although I did do some crazy peelage trying not to roll too much on the hills!! Then I got comfortable and decided to go for the ride back to the church. What happened you ask? I stalled twice at one stop sign(causing me to get a little flustered), and was being super cautious. I also stalled trying to park!! That may sound weird, but I didn't want to put on too much gas and feel as though I was going to fly into the side of the building.
The drive home should be interesting. *sigh*
