Weekend Recap

This weekend was the start of one of my New Years resolutions, to try new things.  Friday we were boring and stayed home trying to get back on London time.  It still hasn't worked...  Saturday we went shopping and tried out a new pub we have been wanting to check out forever.  It was fun and nice to just be with Matt.  After our Christmas Holiday we needed a date night.  Sunday we rented a car and I drove in London for the first time.  Driving on the left is scary enough but throw a manual my way and it is even scarier.  My right hand wanted to shift, I have big red buses swerving in my direction, random people crossing the streets, and bikes everywhere.  I felt like I was in MarioKart just dodging buses instead of turtle shells.  I am suppose to get my company car this week or next.  Hopefully my little practice yesterday has me ready...lol!  We ended the weekend at the movies- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I saw the original one a month or two ago, both are pretty good.  I had a few issues with the new one, they changed the storyline and people either had Swedish or British accents.  The story took place in Stockholm-they should have Swedish accents.  Anyways it was still a good movie but the book was better.

Happy Monday!

Bite the bullet

It's time to bite the bullet and get a UK driver licence ( not misspelled- that's how they spell it).  Most the jobs I am looking at require me to have one so I guess I have to.  Not only do I have to pass a written test, I also need to pass a drivers test.  I know for sure I have to be able to parallel park, do some curb back up maneuver and shinny the steering wheel?????????????  Putting me on the right side is scary enough now you want me to back up, parallel park and not panic at the same time...ah!  So I am signing up for driving lessons.  Wish me luck learning the "British way" of driving- my stomach is in knots just typing this.  I leave you with this....

Me being very mature and not pouting!
