Driving

So, it's become my new thing to go for a drive in the evenings. After I've eaten and done the washing-up, I get into my car at about 8:00 with a CD and go for a drive.

Most nights I drive through Heritage Hills (my neighborhood) and Mesta Park (which Heritage Hills sort of melts into). I head West for a bit and then will generally stop in at 7-11 at 23rd and Penn for iced tea if I'm feeling thirsty.

Last night I was cruising around listening to David Gray's "White Ladder" and decided I wasn't quite ready to go home. So, instead, I drove up north and looked around the Edgemere Park area. There are some absolutely beautiful homes and lawns up there...all within yards of Broadway Extension...

So I spent a good hour driving around looking at people's houses and yards last night. Thrilling? You don't have to tell me that.

Then I came home and attempted to watch "Amelie", which my brother had lent me. I'd not seen it before and was quite excited to see it.

So, of course, instead I spent the better part of the night on the phone with various people, instead of watching the movie.

But, I watched it this afternoon. My therapy appointment was canceled, but as I had already planned on taking the afternoon off for that, I left work at noon as usual and came home to watch the movie.

I loved it!

Then Erica came by and we talked and bitched for a while. Me bitching about my issues, she bitching about her job hunt.

Now It's 5:30, and I'm ready for a long night in front of the computer.

Except, of course, for my evening drive.
