artisanal_xara's Stampin Up kickoff open house thing. ambermae had said before Easter that she would let me drive sometime. well, sometime was this morning. :) i drove from my house out to Tonya's place in Cary. it's a hell of an ego boost to drive a stick for the first time in over three years and not stall it out once. =)we got out there without incident or close calls, and i seemed to do fine. i'm pleased. i might be able to handle this driving thing, after all. the traffic wigged me out a little bit, and having to change lanes bothered me a lot.
when we got there, i was really, really tense. i've got to work on relaxing a bit behind the wheel.
