I have been a cleaning machine today !!! Got to sleep in and then after I got up & got Katie situated then I sat down to eat breakfast, check Facebook, and then started cleaning! I did the usual cleaning and did lots of EXTRA cleaning as well! WOOT. Katie played and later on went down for nap. While she was sleeping, I went to talk to my neighbor then went out to the car to clean the inside dashboard and all the windows with my multi surface pledge!! Awesome stuff. Came in, cut Brad’s hair on the front porch, and later sat down to do my college quiz! I’M DONE WITH MY MATH COURSE and so that means I’m done with my work and don’t have to do anything tomorrow except go to church THEN THE CONCERT!!!!!!!

I GET TO SEE LINKIN PARK AND INCUBUS TOMORROW! *insert lots of squee’s*

So, I can totally tell my vitamins and health goodies I have been taking, plus the specific food plan ARE INDEED WORKING thus far! How do I know? Well, when I start cleaning again like I used to then you know I’m back to the more of the “usual” me, LOL. I love to clean and find it very, very, very therapeutic and relaxing. I also can tell a difference in how I feel in general. Can’t wait to see how I will feel after about 2-3 weeks! I’m excited. Why I’m even more excited? I’M GONNA HAVE AWESOME COCONUT SHRIMP AND veggies for dinner soon!!!!!

Besides the usual cleaning I also cleaned the dish drainer, our shelved closet in the bedroom, the top of my computer desk, the computer desk drawer, the silverware drawer, our area for spices, sorted out my health/vitamin goodies, and I think that’s all?

Also, Brad made some homemade ginger tea = yummy!!! =) Time to get Katie ready for bed and… I think I might either watch a MOVIE or perhaps something else, just gotta decide. Hope everyone has an awesome night! LINKIN PARK! INCUBUS! THIS TIME TOMORROW we will be jammin out in concert…….. wooooooooot! I’M SO THANKFUL AND BLESSED.

Today was a BIG STEP FOR ME!!! I finally did something that I had let slip by me year after year…

I GOT MY DRIVER’S PERMIT! Yes, as the title states – I’m about 10 years late, but lol that’s okay. I tried to get my permit when I was 16, but was not able to because my Mom claimed she “lost” my birth certificate, when in reality she had it and was waiting until I turned 18 to tell me the truth about her and my family. Well, when I turned 18 and found out the truth and DID get my birth certificate… I did get a lot of practice that summer, thanks to the couple that Brad knew and stayed with that summer after his Mom had gotten remarried and moved off to Nebraska. I got really confident and then we moved to Nebraska and I didn’t practice or anything. Years went by and I would randomly drive here and there on the way home from grocery shopping, but that was it. I have had a fear of driving after I drove my best friend’s car as a teenager… and we wound up in the ditch lol. That set a fear in me that kept me from really facing up to it. I have been saying over the years that I wanted to take that step forward, but only until now did it come to pass!!!!! My neighbor has really been a blessing in my life! Taking me places and doing this or that for me. SO THANKFUL for wonderful people who have come into my life recently.

Anyway, we arrived at the Driver’s License plate a little after 11AM and had to wait about an hour and 45 minutes before my number was called. I showed my information, paid for the permit, took the eye test, got my picture taken, then moved to another person that directed me to the computer test for the permit. Only missed 1 and I could have gotten that one right because I thought it was one when it was the other option I had in mind. Ah well, that’s ok! I had to wait in line for a bit after I was done then the lady had to scan all my documents and then I GOT MY PERMIT!!!!! I feel like I’m re-living a part of my teenage years that I never got to experience, which makes me feel a bit… juvenile? Lol. I’m very proud of myself for taking that big step forward. SO EXCITED. In fact, my neighbor let me drive all the way home! Heh. This evening I also drove around our apartment complex circle in OUR COROLLA! I looooooove driving the corolla, but I’m still really nervous. Just gotta practice, practice, and practice. I need to drive every opportunity, but facing that fear is still a little hard for me but I know I should just DO IT!!!

What an excellent day! We came home, I fed Katie, put her down for nap, ate lunch, called and SPILLED TO MOM ABOUT MY PERMIT!, and then I sat down and got my college assignment done… which I usually do that on Sunday, BUT THE CONCERT IS SUNDAY AFTERNOON soooo I wanted it done and I did! Now just to do my quiz tomorrow and I will be FREEEEEEEE for Sunday!

Brad and I headed out for groceries this evening and I got more health goodies to help me. I actually feel good tonight! WOOT. Happy and excited!!! Off to watch Dawson’s Creek reruns!
