...by myself!!! :D It was awesome!!!! :lol: I burned a cd of my favorite music and drove through town blaring, singing, and dancing to it :lol: It was awesome!!! :lol: I got some pretty strange looks though :| I guess this town doesn't know good dancing :lol: :oops: I even stopped by Dairy Queen to hang out with my boyfriend Zach on his break :D It was fun :D
My family and I are having a garage sale this week, and we just opened today. I can't get over how much has happened! :roll:
Good news first: We made nearly $300 just today! :shock: $289.65 to be exact :P Since this sale has stuff from about 11 people we have a lot to sell :lol:
There was this really funny woman from Alabama who came this afternoon :lol: She had me walk with her around the garage, and when she saw something she liked, she would hand it to me and tell me to set it on the "register table" :lol: She spent nearly $30 and had 4 garbage bags of stuff :shock: They were really heavy! I would know since I had to carry them to her car :roll: She gave me a dollar for it though :P I tried to give it back twice, but she wouldn't let me :roll:
At the start of the sale, I had to chase a woman down the street because she accidentally took someone else's bag :lol: When we realized the bag was missing, I jumped up and started running to find her :lol: It took awhile to find her :roll:
There were also these 2 old ladies who kept staring at me :| They came up to me after they paid and told me how pretty my hair was :lol: I have brownish/blonde hair that turns gold in the sun, it's almost down to my belly button, and it spirals naturally :D I love my hair, but it's just too thick! :roll:
Ok, back on subject: the car accident :cry: I wasn't in it, but it took place right at the end of our driveway. There was an elderly woman who just came from a graveyard where her husband was buried (he passed away a few months ago) so she was pretty upset :( She thought stopping at our garage sale would cheer her up, but she was wrong :( When she turned into our driveway, she accidentally hit a small car and it skidded and flew into the ditch on the other side of the road.
My mom called the police, me, my aunt, my sister, and her boyfriend ran to the elderly woman while the neighbors ran to the car in the ditch. The family from the car in the ditch were okay, so they got out of the car and sat in the grass while waiting for the police. The elderly woman was getting ready to go into shock, so we got her a chair and some water and made her sit down. She was shaking really bad and crying, so we talked to her and made sure she was alright :)
After the police left, she asked me to help her across the street and into the ditch to talk to the family. I held her hand and held up her arm and helped her to see the family. They ran to her and gave her a hug; telling her they were fine and everything was going to be alright. The elderly woman was so relieved that she started crying. They talked for a bit, then I helped her into her car and she drove off.
The car in the ditch was okay, but it wasn't drivable because the back door molded against the tire and the tire wouldn't move. It had to be towed. I know where the elderly woman lives, so I'm thinking about driving there next week to make sure she is alright :) Do you think it would be alright to do that?
What an interesting day, don't you think?
I took my driver's test and I PASSED!!!! :D :D :D Mom and I went practicing an hour before the test and I did really well so I was pretty confident :D The instructor was really nice and he kept making jokes to reassure me so that was good :D He told me that I was an excellent driver, but a horrible parallel parker :lol: :oops: I parallel parked fine this week, but I couldn't do it when he was in the car :oops: :( Oh well :P Thanks for all your support :D
I've got my drivers test at 2pm tomorrow :cry: I just know I'm going to fail :cry:
