how did i end up here?

This Is A No Parking Zone

Well, the worst has officially happened. I finally got my coveted parking pass yesterday...disaster I say, disaster! I went to the parking pass office and the girl said, you will be parking here, and she pointed to a street on the map. I'm sorry, did you say street parking? So I'll be parking on the street? Not in a lot...parallel parking? Well, I don't know if you know this or not but, I have never parallel parked in my life. It absolutely terrifies me! Last night I didn't sleep well just thinking about it. When I got to work this morning, I found a spot I didn't have to back into and I snatched it up! I had to walk about five blocks, but I didn't care. I later recruited some of my friends in the office to come down and give me an impromptu parking lesson. They were great, and I actually did it!! It only took about three tries. HA! I'm hoping this gets easier with practice and without help...I won't have them in the car with me every morning.

I aslo drove to work for the first time this morning...talk about traffic! It's enough to make a person go crazy! I'm really hoping today was an exception and not the norm.

On Monday, I got to hang out with the Senator for about a half an hour...just me and another girl I work with. It was so great! I'll take any face time I can get with the Senator. He was cracking us up! What a character.

On another completely unrelated note...Roxanne finally slept on her pillow and with me more last night. Whew...I thought she'd never get used to the new place.
