Ok, all of you who don't live in Northwestern PA are probably right now going, "what is she talking about. Who ever heard of Franklin?" lol:p
Well it's not my tiny, blink-and-you-missed-it town; it's about 20 minutes away from my house and it actually has lots of different stores, more then two restaurants, more than two gas stations a Kmart, a bunch of plazas with a Good Will and dollar store, chinese food place, etc. And it has traffic lights and actual traffic too! :eek:
Well my dad really wants me to drive all over the place and it sort of preasuring me to take the wheel more and more, even thought I really don't feel comfortable doing that:(. I feel fairly at ease with driving to work in my tiny town (five miles away, it's mostly back roads, and when I actually get into town I only have to go through two traffic lights, and the one is just a blinking red light:innocent:), but he says that no longer counts and isn't good enough.:doh:
So last night I drove the five miles home in the dark, which went ok, except I couldn't seem to work my headlights to save my life and kept hitting the turn signal instead... So I blinded two other drivers with my high beams:huh:. I made every effort to go to low beams... I just signaled a right turn instead.:rolleyes: My bad.:doh::whistle:
But my dad wasn't overly impressed with that so he insisted that I drive to Franklin when my mom and I went. So I did. I was actually going 60 mph on rt. 322!:jawdrop: It really made me nervous because I'm not used to going so fast with more traffic around.:rant: But my mom said I did ok and I made it all the way to K-mart and even parked fairly straight!:D
I didn't drive into the busier part of Franklin because I would have had to switch lanes and go through more traffic lights and I couldn't take any more stress, lol.:o But I made it farther then what I was aiming for, so I guess it's all good:). My goal point was the 'Welcome to Franklin' sign on the outskirts of town, so that way if my dad asked I could tell him that yes, I had driven all the way to Franklin and it woudn't be lying.:innocent: But I drove farther before I bailed so hoorah for me.:cool:
Ok, I'm done babbling.:p Sorry for the pointless thread, hehe.:D I'm just sort of excited, even though it's not like I did anything all that great, lol.:innocent:
