Drive me crazy!
I know this might seem nuts, but it's my blog so it can be like that. Last month, my ex-wife did something that many people take for granted. Something that can be very intimidating when it's brand new to you or if you are unfamiliar with. After a few failed attempts and several other issues in the course of at least 5 years, maybe longer. She got her driver's license at the young age of 42! YAAAAAAAY!
We went out early to get in line before the crowds. It was sunny. We were there for over an hour. When she went out it started to rain, but not a thunderstorm. More like a summer sprinkling. It was a really happy moment. Of course if you ask her "No, I wasn't nervous." Okay (wink)
Congratulations! I'm so very proud of you.

Luv da blog. Yea, i too don't have a license. Because i went to college in Brooklyn, where auto insurance rates are astronomically monetarily absurd. Think $3,000.- per mo. for full auto insurance on an SUV (not kidding). Also, applying for a license in NY is hard. They're trying to weed out the immigrants and terrorists and over-congestion on freeways.
I tried to get one but the first time i had the instructor from hell for the driving portion. She yelled at my dad before the test began. God prevented me from bitch-slapping her. Then she kept yelling and yelling so she was out to crucify me no matter what i did. I guess it was a bad idea to be second to last in line, so she must've had a lot of assholes to contend with before me.
Then i tried to apply in Jersey, where the driving test is supposedly eeeeasy. But i had to get a new permit in the Jersey City DMV. By the time I went up to the window 2 1/2 hours later, the clerk closed the window and I had to go back the next day. So I do, and sometime in the morning they evacuate the entire building. The ATF pushed everyone at least 2 blocks away.Turns out there was a bomb threat. Bleah!
I don't think God wants me to drive :-P
Hey, I got my first license at 35. LOL. It was scary and exciting. I had driver's ed at 17 and drove off and until 35. I just got test fright along with driving phobia.
Congrats to your ex.
