Our "Mini" Adventure

Phew, I think my adrenaline is still pumping after mine and Kevin's mini adventure. Since we both had to work over the weekend, we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy a fall Monday afternoon in the luxury of one another's company!

I had an awesome Monday off to be honest with you. You see, they offer better classes at the gym during lunchtime on the weekdays; however, since my office is about a 10 min walk away I don't really have time to walk all the way over there, work out, shower and walk all the way back during a lunch break so this working on Sun off on Mon gig, well I think it's going to work nicely for me. Anyhoo, I made it to the gym for an abs class and 'The Skinny Jean Workout' and afterwards I trekked on over to this nail salon for the early bird special and got myself a nice little mani/pedi. My nails are looking very nice and black cherry chutney'ish! :-)

After I get home from my day of pampering awesomeness, Kevin and I decided to try out this zipcar shindig that he has just signed us up for. Now if your not familiar with zipcar, I'll tell you what it's all about. So you sign up and pay a yearly membership and then when you want to take a car out for an hour or two, you just reserve it online, pick it up from the nearest location and then return it when you're done. It's great especially if you want to head out of the city to go to Ikea, Target, etc. In this case, we were going to the Korean supermarket out in Daly city. It's a fairly easy jaunt since we live right by the freeway and its a 7-mile straight shot.

So we putz down the street to pick up "McCree" (yes, all of the zipcars have their own individual names... how cute!) only to discover Mr. McCree is not feeling so hot today and does not want to respond to us. After being on hold with Zipcar for over 15 minutes, they upgrade us to the mini cooper that is also at this location and agree to give us an extra 30 minutes for our joyride. Sweet, thanks Chris! As we're getting off the freeway and heading towards the supermarket, in a fit of giggles I say, "Kevin, please don't take this the wrong way but your driving makes me nautious." It does. I highly recommend never riding in a car with my boyfriend. LOL! Even poor Kev's mom whispered to me after renting a car in Ireland "We know he can't drive very well." Ahh, I am seriously laughing my arse off right now as I write this. So we go do the shopping and as we're walking back to "Madeira" Kevin asks if I want to drive. Ok, sure I say. Oh dear. I should have never ripped on Kev's driving skills because. I (uh, big sigh) drive like a big grandma!!! Seriously. Foot on the gas pedal. Then brake. Then gas. Then brake. You see where I'm going with this. I really hope if the two of us ever reproduce our offspring, they do not inherit either of our driving skills.

But hey, at least my nails look pretty!
