Sam and I had the BEST time last night. The girls are back at their dad's this week, unfortunately. But I was so restless. I went tanning, but afterwards I had this tremendous toothache.
He suggested going for Italian Ice, but that would have only made things worse. I said lets just go for a drive. We took his little S-10 pick up truck and headed into the mountains.
OMG - so much fun, but I thought for sure we were going to pop a tire, get stuck in mud or wipe something completely out of the bottom of his truck!! We went over a hill at one point that was 90degrees.. oh yeah we scraped big time. Sad part is... I said HELL yeah you can make that!! LOL - DULP... I didn't think about the bottom of his truck hitting, lol lol.
Then afterwards he said it was about time I try driving the truck - which translated to teaching me how to drive a stick shift - the right way. I've only drove one about 3 or 4 times in my life and got frustrated from stalling out so many times. Truth here is... I almost don't even remember what happened when I tried. It was such a BAD experience I think I blocked it out of my mind. I remembered this morning in fact that the only person who ever tried showing me officially was my next door neighbor, Kay back in the early 80's - and it was an IROC Z - very nice and fast car. I don't remember every trying to just go slow... that was the hardest part for me. Coming out of a standstill and kicking in the gas enough while letting out the clutch. But within an hour I was getting the hang of it. It was so much fun...
Anyway - Sam was an incredible teacher and has so much patience. He laughed the whole time and was never worried abourt ruining his truck even after I declared "i smell something... kinds smells like marijuana...hehe" he said.."that'd be the smell of burning gears" LOL - he's just tooo wonderful. I can't wait for the day he teaches the girls and hopefully his own son how to drive. Will be so much fun! I love that man SOOOOO MUCH!!!!
