well today was a day of firsts...

- first time i've driven to work
- first time i've had to brush and scrap snow and ice off a windshield
- first time i've driven in the snow
- and actually.......it's the first time i've driven by myself EVER

...i know it's scary, connie's out on the loose. but really i'm not that dangerous...probably because right now i drive even slower than my mother does =P

BAH! there's no more escaping it...woke up this morning and edmonton's covered in snow...and probably will be for the next six months...and i hate snow...which of course makes edmonton not so good a place for me to be...i am not pleased

tada! i'm back.
yes i fell into an internetless ditch since i've been in edmonton so i hadn't had a chance to update about what's been going on, but now i'm infront of the computer and SOOOOO much has happened that i don't know even know where to start...so i'm gonna put it off a little longer and try to collect my thoughts. but something happened today that i just HAD to announce to the world...teeheehee...i'm all giddy just thinking about it....

today i made the biggest purchase i have ever made in my entire life...yup i got off work , dropped into mazda, and BOUGHT ME A CAR!!!

i know i know with rent and living expeneses and the very little that i'm getting paid, i'll be paying it off for the rest of my life...but it's so pretty and i'm so happy...i still can't drive worth crap, but the law says i am allowed to and now i have something to drive...so...hehehe...watch out cows stay off the road! =P

but yeah all excitement aside, simon (the boyfriend) reminded me that the first car is a life milestone...wow graduation, moving out, job (even if it's just a short term contract), first car...wow it's like i'm actually headed somewhere...and don't worry with car payments and insurance, it's not the mall.
