It's been a BIG day!!

Today has been... craaaaaaaaazy.

I studied my motorcycle handbook last night and wanted to take my test today. Early. Like 10 am. So of course Bolo and I stayed up until 3 am, and then slept late. I was up and ready to go at 11. Bolo was still in bed. I was hungry so I told him to be ready when I got back and so I went to Subway for some delicousness. I got back and Bolo wasn't ready. Not gunna lie.. I was pissed. So eventually he gets around and we leave around 2. Keep in mind the MVA closes at 4.

We get to the MVA and the migraine begins. I get my number - F27, and wait. And wait. And.. guess what.. WE WAIT SOME MORE!! Finally I get called. I go up, she takes my number and drivers license and puts the info into the computer. Then she takes my picture and tells me to go the testing room. I go in, and take my test. Only miss two. WOOHOO!! Silly common-sense questions. I was worried for no reason.

So we come home around 430 during rush hour. Of course it's rush hour, so I can't go out riding. So we come upstairs and chill for a bit until I got a phone call. It's a lady from Pandora (the jewelry store) and she wants to set up an interview. TOMORROW. Scoooooooore!!!!!!!!

Around a quarter till 10, my nerves got the best of me. Nervous about my interview, I decided to try some outfits on and pick one out. So I pull out my black pants and try them on. My ONE pair of black pants that I've had for YEARS. Probably clear back when I worked my first job at Martin's Pharmacy. Anyway, I try them on...and there is NO WAY they are buttoning. I am SCREWED. I don't have any work/interview clothes. I just placed a huge order online but those won't be here until next week. I AM SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tomorrow I am getting up early. Like 8 am, and getting ready. Then I'm going shopping at White Marsh Mall (not the mall I'm interviewing at) so that I can find some clothes and get back in time for my interview at 130. Phew!! I've got a lot to do....Guess that means I don't have time to be nervous.

Our family is expanding...

Yep. You read that right. Our family is expanding by one. One little, adorable, brand spanking new, Honda NC700XDC, and she is a cutie pie!! Her name is Derpy (yes, like the MLP FIM pony).

Last weekend Bolo and Flife went to Pete's Cycles to look at bikes. They both sat on this one and liked it, so Wednesday Bolo took me to check it out. We rode the DN-01 there, so we had to drive back to get the car, and then back again to pick it up. Kinda a good thing, because this gave the shop enough time to lower it. It's a TALL bike. Taller than Bolo's VFR1200R. They lowered it as much as they could then, and Bolo paid it off and rode it home. We have to bring it back for a check-up around 600 miles. When we do that, they have to shorten the kick stand so they can lower the bike just an inch or two more, so I can stand up flat footed with BOTH feet.

Anyway, so breaking in a new bike is..well.. it just sucks. Bolo's been super nice and is doing it for me. Today while I went to the store for a few things he went out for a ride. Now let me tell you.. Bolo's been riding for 4 years, driving for 16, never had a ticket... UNTIL TODAY. Well technically yesterday..whatever. Our 7th monthiversary (Thursday) Bolo got a speeding ticket for going 58 in a 30. He only got a ticket, so it's not so bad.

Anyway..here's our cute little Honda family. The VFR's the red one on the left. Derpy is in the middle and the DN is the black on the right.
Now I just have to get my motorcycle permit....
