Do you remember that I’m a high-anxiety driver? How I plan my trips around rush-hours and left turns? Yes. Well, I drove to Atlanta today. AND SURVIVED. I was so scared. Luckily, traffic was light, otherwise I might be curled up in the fetal position on the side of I-85 right now. Of course, I planned it that way. I decided I’d rather get here a couple hours early than have to drive during/through rush-hour traffic.
The good news? I only have to take a right out of the complex to get to the Super Suppers place tonight. Thank God. If I had to drive into Atlanta and then take a left turn? I’d shoot myself.
I think MrZ is prouder of me now than the day I had an emergency c-section to deliver his daughter. He knows how big of a challenge driving is for me in general, much less in a big city. He was all, “Are you going to go explore?” And I’m like, “Only if there’s stuff to explore on the right side of the road.”
Way to go! I hate driving into scary big cities. We recently had to go up to Denver for my brother’s birthday celebration, and I got us lost at least 4 different times that night. It was so frustrating!
So I am super proud of you for not only getting to Atlanta but also for not getting lost. You rule.
Very impressive. Atlanta driving freaks me out.
Have fun tonight!
I’m so scared of Atlanta driving that when we go visit the inlaws, I let hubby take over in Opelika. So I am very, very impressed!
We are so twins! I wrote about being a chickenshit driver just today! Only I’m scared of Midtown Manhattan.
he, he, we are in the same town!
Have fun at the suppers.
I’d give my husband’s left nut to be there in Atlanta with ya’ll.
Fatt Matts? no?
Hee. I’ve never heard of anyone else with a left turn phobia, besdies my mom and I. Awesome!
Dude. It’s a right and then 2 lefts. Maybe I should drive.
I could drive to Atlanta, but I’d have to do a Google maps search and then check the “avoid highways” box. SERIOUSLY. I do not drive on the interstate.
You rock girl! Great job. I hope you have fun tonight. Maybe the next time you meet in Atlanta, I’ll come too. It’s a bit of a drive but I would love to meet you. I’m really proud of you!
Great job Zoot! I perpetually get lost, therefore I have driving new places anxiety, so I am really excited for you!
Glad you made it safely.
You’re so funny. I’m glad you made it there safely.
LOL!! Glad you arrived safely. Rush hour traffic sucks to drive through. I don’t like me much either. Left turns don’t really bother me much, hehehe
Wow, Atlanta is the most difficult driving city I have ever been in. For a timid driver, managing to get around is a huge accomplishment.
[...] so if you read Miss Zoot then you know how much she hates to make left hand turns. And I’ll be honest, I’ve always thought that was crazy. Or as she would say… [...]
