Ya'll I was stopped by the police!!! I was asked to step out of the vehicle and go to the back. I was resigned to getting a speeding ticket as I was going about 57 in a 50 mph zone. But I was stopped because my right tail light and license plate light was broken.
I didn't know about either and told the officer that my husband who works at Ball Foods usually drives the truck and I usually drive the suburban, but that it was in the shop. He then asked me what my husband's name was. Thankfully, he knew my husband (he was a firefighter for 8 years) and I was allowed to head on home.
Now, as to why I was out so late.... I took Cynthia to see Harry Potter. It was pretty good, but Cynthia and I both agreed that you really have to read the book to understand quite a bit of the movie. We both think the movie should have been 3-4 hours long to get all the pertinent scenes in.
We also saw Walk the Line. It was a really slow movie. Interesting, but slow.
I just got my first ticket last year. I was going (gulp) 85 in a 60 mph zone. (can you say "lead foot?") Then the evening that I had to go an pay my ticket...upon returning home..I stepped out of my van and tripped over the kid's bikes and the lawn mower and broke my arm.
ReplyDeleteI think that was God's way of saying...be glad you only had to pay a fine for speeding because if you would've gotten into a wreck going that speed...you might have been a lot worse off than a broken arm!
Since then, I've not gone 85 but I do have to watch how fast I'm driving because I really do have a lead foot! lol
