Driving news :)

As many of you know, I haven't driven in 6 years, actually it was 6 years this past April. I've been driving a bit with dh & a friend lately. I found an awesome therapist that has just inspired me sooo much! My mom is down visiting & I rented a car last weekend Thurs - Sun & drove all over the place. Quite an accomplishment for me as I wouldn't even drive WITH someone in the car with me! I just picked up the car at the airport & drove home with her, had dh follow me. Well on the way home from the airport, an orange mustang convertible caught my eye. Needless to stay, on the way back to the airport on Sunday, I stopped & peeked in the windows & loved it so much! It's like brand new! I've been talking about it nonstop with dh & asked him tonight to go by and see it. Well we did & yep! I bought it! I'm so excited! I had to drive it home alone, and did, but was shaking so much I thought I would pass out literally. I even got out of the car at one stop sign because I was so nervous, lol. But I did it! I am so excited & so proud of myself!! It's a 2004, but looks new, yahoo! So Heather, that's why I emailed ya, now we BOTH have mustangs, lol!

That is awesome news, Sheri Ann. It just goes to show you can't keep a good woman down! I suppose you'll be too busy driving to remember your old friends here on A/P/P:) Wishing you the best of luck! You go, girl! (((hugs))) jan

YEAH SHERI ANN!!!!!!!!!!


I'm so happy for you. I know how hard the driving has been for you and you've taken some giant steps : ) I think it will get better little by little but I don't think you have that far to go.


YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!! (quite literally ; p )

I probably spent about 5 hours driving today, lol! I'm not driving alone yet :( and had a few "minor" bouts of anxiety which went away quickly, but I kept wondering what those would have escalted into if I had been alone. We consider ourselves to be a "Chevy" family, but I told dh that Mustangs ARE the exception to the chevy rule, lol.

Hey there Sheri Ann, great news on the driving. And a mustang convertible to be sporting around in YAHOO. I love them....had one myself a few years ago. Now I drive a Olds Cutlass Convert. Gotta love those convertibles. It sounds like you are really doing great.....see there is hope for us who have this problem. Keep up the Great Work. JanW
