top ten positives to no car for a month

10. Doing more stuff around the house ie: pulling weeds, organizing closets and drawers except I haven't organized any yet

9. Getting rides from friends = More time with friends

8. Spending less money except for oh yeah...online shopping.  Larry's ebay cowboy boots should be here any day now.

7.  Less grocery shopping which means less food in the house.  Which means getting creative in the kitchen ie: lots of canned chicken surprises.

6. Walking everywhere which means more exercise.

5. Like when I walked to the park today in 90 degree heat with Larry screaming and Lennon trying to pacify him by singing.  Loud.  But the positives were all the gorgeous minivans driving by.  I stared them down like a guy would a girl with triple Ds. 

4. Getting to meet more Park Moms:

PM: So how old is the red head?
Me: He just turned two.
PM: Is he talking yet?
Me: Not much.
PM: Oh wow, my little Zoe was talking on her first birthday.
Me: Cool.
PM: Do you have your four year old in preschool?
Me: Yeah a couple of my friends teach in one of their homes.
PM: Oh reeeeeaaallly?  In their house, that's awesome.  Yeah we put Jack in Challenger (private preschool) and it has just...been...awesome.  Worth every penny.
Me: I'm so glad.

3. When you're home all day time slows down.  Which is exactly what I want...nice, looooooooooooooooong days with my children.

2. Mail key is lost and since I can't drive to the post office the mail lady and I have become BFFs.  She delivers right to my doorstep.  I'm going to buy her a candybar...just as soon as I can drive to the store.

1. Because I get to be like "everyone else in the world, Holly" (direct quote from my husband) because according to him most people don't even have a car so welcome to the real world.  I am so glad to be here.
