life after it all

At least I will be shortly.

I have rented a car for the weekend.  I have to go to a Baby shower tomorrow in Sherwood Park and Sherwood Park is (in geographic terms my readers may understand):

• as far as Paradise is from Kilbride (if you don't take the short cut thru Mt. Pearl)
• as far as Stellenbosch is from Gardens
• as far as Dublin is from Killiney

So when i did the quick math in my head, it was cheaper for me to rent a car (at $54 taxes included) than to get a cab there and back.  So this way, I get the car for the weekend and just pay the extra in gas.

I'm beyond excited for this.  I haven't driven since Jan.  This is a little scarey since the last time I was driving in Edmonton was 2 years ago and I had a melt down on Gateway Blvd coming into Edmonton.  I didn't know what to do!  All of a sudden there were 4 lanes going in the same direction!  This never happens in Newfoundland!  So once I got myself off the highway from hell, Jonathan threatened to walk back to Calgary.

Needless to say I haven't driven in Edmonton since then.

But i'm up for the challenage.  Tonight I drive to Sears to get a gift and hopefully the current boyfriend will want to go for a drive.  And hopefully, he has more humor than Jonathan.
