Just got home from another trip to Nassau. Darin and Chad went to Orlando from Thursday to Monday and I went to stay with Emily and the kids in Nassau so I wouldn't be in Freeport alone. I finished a book, did some P90X, went to Senior Frogs and ate my favorite fish tacos mmm!!! The kids love Senior Frogs because they get balloon hats made by the local clown. I got to talk a lot to Emily, learned how she handles her 3 kids; Annelie is 5, Chandler is 3 and baby Kailyn is 3mos. She's a great mom, super patient, makes dinner, does laundry, feeds the baby, plays at the beach with the other kids, gets them down for naps, gives the baby a good "tummy time", works out, all in a day's work, I mean this girl gets stuff done! I watch with amazement how great she can juggle her whole day. When I do have kids, i'll be skyping her. She also lives on an island life which is totally different than the Florida life, so when I say (in the future) there's no butt paste at the one store on the island that has it, she'll probably whip out a home recipe she's used because she's already been through that one. Emily knows everything I think, she says she doesn't but I know she does.So we're home...there were a few break ins about a mile away from the house, so I didn't sleep well last night. Darin did, he's snoring away and 1/2 laying on me. I probably got about 3hours of sleep.....like my mom, I worry. When the light shines though the window because the sun starts to come up, that's when I finally fell asleep for a good 2 more hours, felt like a vampire...awake at night, sleep by day. Well, I accomplished a task today, grocery shopping alone! Only to get a few things but it was my first time driving there, going in and out without Darin. This store we go to is called "City Market" (the place that gives out the coupons, mentioned in a previous post), it's known to the locals here as (excuse me) "Shity Market", and found out why today....went to the dairy section to get milk, there was NONE!! not even 1 thing, nothing! A friend told me they're always out of stuff when you go because we are the last City Market to get serviced on the island, figures it's by us.
If you haven't heard of our awesome car yet, you have to know it's by far, the most looked at, talked about car in this whole area! People stare, yell things at us, run off roads to turn around and look as they drive through intersections, we go to bars and people know who we are, and they leave their job to go look at it in the parking lot at it, just nuts! I've been telling Darin I need to video tape all of the commotion when we drive around and put it all in a video together! SO...today we pull up to this gas station, one we haven't been to yet but drive by a lot. We pull next to the pump and the service guy comes up (yes, you don't
have to get out of your car to pump gas, you just hand them money and sit and wait, kinda nice lol) he says; "i've been waiting for you to pull in here so I can fill this thing up", Darin and I laugh, so he says "this is what you're gonna do (as he rubs his hands together), i'm gonna fill this thing up, you're gonna sit in the back and i'll drive you to where you need to go and i'm gonna take it out for the night!" he raises his arms to the sky and yells "WHOOO".....by far the best car moment we've had! After we left Darin says "thats when we needed to have the camera out to video". Darn it! Next time!
