watch out part 2 ;)

if you saw susie's post ( http://liveoutloudsz.blogspot.com/2011/06/its-raining-its-pouring.html ), you heard about our driving adventure on Friday. this is a text my Mom sent me when she saw the weather outside that i was about to drive in:

Mary, PLEASE don't drive on the interstate in the rain. You can take the market street bridge and drive thru downtown. Would you like me to come and get you?
Dianne Z.

(I still drove home...thru downtown and the market street bridge;) haha

and later that day I drove to meet my haiti team and this is what Susie texted me:

Don't die. Please don't let anything hit you. I want to see you again. Alive.
Susie Z.

so i have had some exciting few days of driving (with my license/without an adult)! but so far so good:)

watch out...

...cuz I'm on the roads by myself!!!! yep, I got my license today. even i'm scared;) I took the driving test in our Prizm, which I really like and have driven a lot, but I'm not super familier with knowing where everything is. so the driving tester person told me to do my signals, and brakes, and horn and everything to make sure they worked and that was totally fine. She also asked me to turn on my lights and high beams. I knew where the lights were, but high beams? i don't even really know when ur supposed to use those. ok, I kinda do. a teeny bit. you're supposed to use them on a clear dark night where there is a lot of empty road and stuff (like Montana:)). but you're not supposed to use them in fog, or heavy traffic areas and stuff like that. so anyway, I had never used my high beams before so I didn't know where they were (I could've guessed, but I didn't want to guess wrong because that coud've turned out way bad). So I just put on every light to the car that I could find and the testing lady seemed fine with it. haha other than that, the test was fine. no big scares or anything;)

15 days!

I'm leaving for Haiti in 15 days!!! sooooo excited!
any suggestions for an art activity or craft or project to do with some precious haitian kiddos?

hey

hey everybody! so here's kinda a summary of my life lately:

- started back at swimming!!! I really really missed swimming in the winter and now i'm loving it!

- started back at running

- leaving for Haiti in 26 days!!!!

Oh! question! what is a good art activity to do with Haitian kiddos? Other members of my Haiti team are doing things like fancy nail painting (the girl who is doing nails is sooo talented!) and face painting and maybe one other project that I'm forgeting. ideas?
