Best Day in Suburbia

-
Thanks to hubby, yesterday was my best day in Suburbia EVER!
I've always dreamed of driving a race car and yesterday that's just what I did! For my birthday hubby enrolled me an introduction to racing class and I got to drive a real race car, all by myself.
It was exhilarating, exciting, scary, challeng and the most fun I've had in CT. I can't thank hubby enough (and the kids who were awesome on the 4 hour drive).

"Mom, did you like your surprise?"


In heaven

"I can't believe this is actually happening!"

"Remember knees together if you spin out in a turn."

"I can reach the pedals. All good."

Yeap! I was the only city girl there :)

S: "Why is it that only boys go to work every day of the week, but girls don't ever go to work?" M: "Um...(let me take a deep breath) well girls actually do go to work honey." S: "but you don't work and you're a girl" M: "Um (let me take another deep breath) actually I do work, when you're in school and at night. And my work is also to take care of you." S: "yeah...but that's not really work" M: "Would you like me to go to work everyday ?" S: "well who would take care of us?" M: "A babysitter" S: "oh... I don't want that." End of conversation. I walk back to my rake, take it with my blistered hands and think about what I'm doing with my life. Nothing like ...

Saturday night Hubby and I headed to NYC for dinner with some good friends so I knew it was going to be a fun night. I started the evening by seeing this sign just as we got to the city and I just had to smile... I love that NYC attitude!

Don't Go Changing!

Some of you may have wondered how living in the burbs has changed me over the last two years.... today I received confirmation that two of my key traits are intact. 1. I have no sense of direction what so ever. Hubby who's been at my side for 20 years can give you plenty of stories to back that up. Let me share my morning drive. I was rushing from Stamford to Westport which is a distance of about twenty miles. About 8 minutes into the drive it was clear that the road I was on, I95, was badly congested and not showing any signs of improvement. So I said to myself I think I know another way home....let me give it a try. Guess what happened? After following my "internal compass "AND the car GPS I not only made no progress, I actually went the wrong way and ended up BACK in Stamford!!!! Yeap! thought I was going North but I was totally heading South. 2. I can't stick to a budget! Now don't get me wrong it's not that I don't want to stick to a budget, it...
