The Trouble With Eating Italian Food is That Five or Six Days Later You're Hungry Again g. miller

I am a geek.

Reason as to why I'm a certifiable geek? Well, here's another three for the already long listing record:

1) While driving to the grocery in my non-Coco Chanel car today, I turned down Cold Play to listen to the purr of the Italian engine of a sleek and beautifully black Ferrari in front of me.

2) Then pathetically attempting to catch up to the sleek and beautifully black Ferrari in my non-Coco Chanel car so I could continue to listen to that beautiful purr.

3) Finally, being redundantly overexcited when the sleek and beautifully black Ferrari got caught at a turn lane light right next to me, so I could hear those Italian cylinders purr quietly one last time.

. . . thereupon I immediately went back to Cold Play and the grocery. I don't think Chris Martin would've minded.

I am sure Chris wouldn't mind.

What Jen doesn't tell you fellow readers is that she has actually had the pleasure of driving a Ferrari. Right J-Dawg? Wasn't a Ferrari?

Jen said...

alli: Yes. It was a beautiful bright blue Italian Goddess. . .

***le sigh***

. . . . Anyway, I did get to fastly drive a Ferrari once after a couple margarita's. I said I couldn't drive his car, b/c I had had been drinking. In fact, I adamantly refused to drive a Ferrari after consuming liquor.

His reply was, and I quote verbatim, "That's what insurance is for."

So, off we went with me at the wheel . . . It was fantastic fun! Like driving Prada silk, if you could drive silk.

I bet even Chris Martin would rather hear a Farrari some days :)

I love you so much!! I would have done the same - perhaps even turn off my own car at that lase light. Purrrrrrrr.

Jen said...

suze: true, true!

etk: I love you too! You just can't beat that Italian purr. . . !

ETK said...

I want to hear about your job?? Don't we get to hear anything about that????? HUH?

Jen said...

etk: there has been nothing of exception that warranted any sort of publication at my new jobbie-job. Sorry. It's only been great and all that I can't complain about!

Maybe some day . . . . .

I'm sure that even Chris Martin likes a break from being self righteous in his Prius (poet and i don't know it!).
Even if it is only to listen to that purr.
