surprisingly daring in my old age...

Internet, yesterday I did something that I have never done before... 

Are you ready for this?

(Wait for it...)

I opened the hood of my vehicle.

And just WHY did I do this, you might be wondering (and so I will tell you.)  I did this because I was bound and determined to change my burnt out headlight - you know, the one that the mechanic (whom I just paid $1100 to) FORGOT TO CHANGE AND STILL PASSED ME ON MY INSPECTION (who, me?  bitter?  naaah!!)  But I digress, the important thing to know here is that I don't know anything about cars.  I barely know how to drive one, and there I was, staring at all kinds of dirty car parts.

It took me a little over an hour, I used the mirror on my blush compact to see what the hell I was doing, I scraped my hand about a thousand times and shouted several choice adjectives, and I came to realize why most mechanics probably have short hair...  But by George, I DID IT!

And so to celebrate, I did what any self-respecting thirty-something would do.

I happy-danced.  Right there in my driveway.  Full on busted several moves.  It may seem like the most unimportant thing to have ever happened, but it was a total victory to me.  Short of popping babies out of small places, it was right up there on my list of things to do right before I break out the Wonder Woman costume.

Carry on.
