Game Plan

I finally got smart and stopped running around wasting gas. Plan backfired: Being home means more time with mom which means more time grounded. YAY! Cottonwood is really far away from everything and the gas is basically the same. Great plan, Elyse! Time to become a hobo. Take the cat and a weeks worth of clothes and see ya! (Make mom pay for gas first) lol

What wheels has given me...

As soon as I got my license, everything was "As soon as I get my car..." and "I need a car!" Now that I have a car, I have been reflecting as to what exactly I have gained from it. So far I have gained a place to sleep hahahah I have gained solitude, blessed solitude. Most people when asked this question would say they have gained freedom. I haven't really gained freedom, I have always had a lot of freedom. It feels more like control. I feel like I am slowly getting more and more of my life under control and on the road I have dreamed about. My car, Wagon and I pretty much bonded instantly. Not very pretty but he's sturdy, dependable, lasting, and practical. Good gas mileage, fold down seats that make a bed in the back. Super quirky! He screams unexpectedly sometimes, and has a pacifier, and I have to turn on my lights to turn on the cd player. YES IT HAS A CD PLAYER!!! Anyway, Wagon and I are major pals and I am more grateful for him then like anything else I have.
NOTE TO WAGON: So today while I was driving you I thought about later in life when I have a special guy...no matter how cool he is I would still pick you over him hahahhah Don't worry I will tell him that too!
