Well..

It happened. This morning I finally got pulled over. After all my years of adult driving too. Such a shame. I was just getting onto 94/Page where the new Page highway starts and it's all big and nice and smooth. And of course, I punched it to around 70/75 JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. All of the sudden, I look in my rearview and there is a cop behind me. So I think (all in the matter of like 2 seconds) 'fuck it. I'm getting a ticket, pull over.' So, I did. And I had my license and insurance card out really quick. The cops walks up to me and asks me if I'm in a hurry. HELLO...why do cops have to ask that? Do people really have to be in a hurry to drive 70/75?? So, I say "yeah, well, kinda" and amazingly, he tells me if I will do the speed limit (60) and drive in the right lane (WTF?) he'll let me go. Okay great. Thanks! Then, he tells me he's going to "put me in the system" and if I get pulled over in the next 12 months, I will get a ticket for that, as well as for this morning. HUH? How the hell can cops give you a ticket for a stop that A. they didn't give you a ticket OR a written warning for and B. give you a ticket for a stop that happened however long ago. I think he was just trying to 'scare' me, but I don't really know how the law works in that sense. But, hey, at least he didn't give me a ticket. He didn't even run my license.


I voted this morning. Wooo. It was mostly a school board/bond/tax vote, but that's okay. At least I voted.


The accountant's wife has called 4 times this morning...actually 4 times in like an hour period. She's so nice but some days, she calls so freaking much. I guess I just assumed most people communicated with their spouses at work via email or MSN or something. Guess I was W R O N G.


I don't know what I'm feeling for lunch. I have a Lean Cuisine in the freezer but I'm not sure if I want that. Maybe I'll go get a salad and some fruit or something. I think I'm feeling a salad and some fruit actually.
