A Week of Firsts!

This week has been a learning week for me! I experienced a lot of "firsts" like:

My first traffic jam... Everyone who knew me before I left MT knew that one of my biggest fears was to be stuck in traffic with no way to get out.  Today, I left home an hour early in hopes to get to my appointment early.  I made it two miles before I sat for 40 minutes without moving an inch.  Initially, when I saw the miles of cars in front of me and saw the swarms of cars behind me I panicked! What if  I have to go to the bathroom? What if I'm one of those dummies who didn't know they are pregnant and go into labor in traffic? What if I stay here so long, I run out of gas?  Needless to say, I made it out alive and did not give birth to a surprise baby just because I was sitting in traffic.

Encountered my first prostitute... Now, I am relying on stereotypes here, but I am fairly confident I saw a real-life prostitute.  I was very excited! Holy cow, a lady of the night! Except...this lady of the night looked rough!! She was older, bright orange hair, ripped fishnet stalkings, a skirt that was probably originally meant to be a headband, and sky high heels.  Obviously, I did not stop to ask her if she was a prostitute.  I had to clarify that for my mom too because apparently she thinks I would do something like that....

First space shuttle viewing... The Endeavor flew over Disneyland this morning as it made it's way to permanently rest in a museum!

This weekend we are going to the first of many amusement parks!!!  We are going to Knott's Berry Farm! (yep, the one that had a group of people stranded 400 feet above the ground for like 7 hours)  My inner child needs to get out and play! All of this working is making me too serious.
