Designated Driver

Well tonight has been interesting to say the least...
Somehow I ended up with the wonderful position of being Designated Driver (I think it may have had something to do with the fact that I was the only one sober enough to drive at the time).
Normally, I'm fine with doing this... I'm not a big drinker at the best of times.
Tonight was a little different though.
Seeing as we had to arrange a baby sitter for the most awesome baby in the entire world (Charli -and no, I'm not being biased at all here), this meant we also had to take her to Casey's sister's house.
No problems you say... except that I had to drive Casey's car (I CBF swapping the baby seat into mine for a 5 minute trip).
The fun part being that Casey's car is manual... me being me kind of lacks the coordination to deal with a clutch pedal.
It's also been quite a while since the last time I even attempted to drive manual!

But after a few bunny hops, I got there... Even managed to do a 3 point turn in it. Much to the amusement of my 2 passengers (somehow Charli slept through the whole ordeal)

The night didn't stop there though, then I got to continue on to the local pub.
Gotta, say this part of the night sucked major balls!

For some reason I'd decided it would be a good idea to get rather dressed up for the occasion (with a quick wardrobe change due to the fact that bubba hurled on me).
So there I was dressed as though I was out in some classy club surrounded by bogans in thongs (flip flops for the Americans reading this) and track suit pants.
I stuck out like a sore thumb! -Even when the guests from a wedding rocked up I still looked out of place and all I was wearing was jeans and a black dress shirt!

It was about then that I decided a) never to go out in this hell hole of a town again and b) never to volunteer to be sober if it does happen.

So yeah, I survived the night and gained a little more confidence in my ability to drive manual... Now I'm curled up in bed with a rather big craving for a few vodka based night caps, oh and a cuddle or three would go down a treat too (but lets not get too carried away!)
