6.7.12

Well I have to say that today was much more interesting.  Start out the morning with an exciting little driving assessment by a very strange man.  I knew I was in trouble when we first got into the car and he thought he had to explain to me what a hybrid was and how to drive it.  Come on dude...and I have to say I did not really care that it is a new vehicle for him and his company and how much they had to spend on repairs for it.  The best part was when he decided he needed to show me a trick to parallel parking (this is after I had already done it right myself) He backed up too far and knocked down his own cone...lol.  I told him he made one of them disappear and he told me...no, he couldn't have.  But I watched it.  His excuse was the wind coming in from off the ocean, which was in front of us and the cone was behind us.  And this guy was suppose to be showing me...ha!  After an hr in the car we got to move on to the van.  He did not believe me when I told him I was fine driving the van.  By the end of it he was talking about how comfortable I was and that I had good spacing and he doesn't tell that to everyone...this poor dude.  He was bad and he smelled REALLY bad.  Being stuck in a car with that for 2hrs was a bit much. 

The afternoon was quiet and rainy again.  But then we took a walk into Atlantic City and spent some time in the casinos and had dinner.  Laura and I both won tonight and were so excited.  It wasn't much but it was very entertaining to us.  Once we won we decided we had to cash out and leave.  It was really nice to get out away from the house and relax.  It was much needed for all of us I think.  Tomorrow all the girls are taking a trip down to the Social Security office and to take the van in for service.  Luckily I get to skip that trip.  I'm thinking some laundry and clean up my room a bit then maybe take my book down to the beach until they return.  I'm sure it will be an all morning ordeal if the SS office here is like anywhere else.  I just hope the weather cooperates with my plans!
