I Made Her Day

I received this award from Treasia at Confessions of a Mid-Life Trucker's Wife. It seemed she liked my post about wishing my boobs Happy Birthday!

I know I haven't been blogging as regularly as I should. But I will try to get better. I am still wandering around visiting and trying to comment, in between working.

Pfftt...why is work so necessary?

Oh that's right, I like to eat, have a roof over my head and enjoy my occasional glass of wine.

But, I do truly appreciate the award Treasia, Thank You Very Much!!

Freewrite Friday

I am so glady it is finally friday. I will be much happier when March 1 gets here. I can't belive these stupid grant people don't realize that a july fiscal year means just that july. there is not way I can give them a board approved budget bore woopos that is supposed to be berfore, still not rite. shit now I have my fingersa all messed up. you know this isn't as easy as it sounded when i signed up. hmm...where was i, oh never mind I don't think anyone really reads these things anyway, well besides shelli, finn, metalmom and whoever else i am missing that is participating. I wonder if we can put a little linky box thing on our sidebard is George really complaing about the copy machine again? why do men break somehting then complain when it doesn't get fixed in the time that they want/ He has been told that it won't be fixed until MOnday, get over it. Use the one in your office. Since the grants are almost done, well ia m really worried about VOICA how in the hell can they cut this program 35 million dollars and still expcet us to serve vicitms? If I don't get this written correctly and if we loose money Iwonder if I will be loosing my job?

Okay, that was fun. And no, I didn't go the full 5 minutes (I'm at work, shhhh don't tell anyone) I am going to go back and link. If you are playing along be sure to let me know. I think I will work on a box for Freewrite Friday in my sidebar!

Where is a Cop when you need one?

Tell me something. What is it about summer, heat, and roads that make people drive like idiots? It really must be something in the smell of the car after it has been sitting in the hot sun all day. Or maybe it has something to do with the sun in your eyes as you are driving down the road and the car hasn't quite cooled off enough for you yet.

It never fails, you see some idiot on the road and you think.."where is a cop when I need one." or you think..."buddy if there was a cop right now, I would so be laughing at you.."

I drive an hour to work each way. It is only 36 miles each way but it takes about an hour. The first 1/2 hour consists of me stopping at Dunkin Donuts for my Large Iced Coffee with cream and sugar. Thee rest of the first 1/2 hour is city traffic, with stop lights, school buses, seniors trying to get to breakfast before their Dr. appts. The second 1/2 hour is a wonderful 2 land highway, stretching out before you, with cows, and fields...just wonderful. The speed limit on this road is 55 mph, but in the mornings you can get away with between 62 and 64.

Now, I am not a speed demon by any means. But I do keep up with traffic, so I usually am doing 63 or so. This morning, I notice in my rear view mirror one of those crotch rocket motorcycles and a car racing behind me on this lovely two lane road. Now, note I said racing...what they were actually doing was taking turns passing each other and every other car in their way. Doing at least 90. They were passing in double yellow line areas, hills, curves, wherever and whenever they could. Of course,as they whipped by me, I thought..."where is a cop when you need one?" I watched them go a little further and they disappeared from sight.

A few miles up the road the cars ahead of me started slowing up a bit. That either means a cow is loose along side the road or someone has hit a dear.... People weren't slamming on the brakes, just slowing up. Yup, my wish had come true. Both vehicles were pulled over by 4, count them 4 State Troopers! I was laughing andd cheering as I drove by...I really wanted to honk the horn, but I thought drawing attention to myself at 63 mph might not be a good idea!
