Ethan got his learner's permit today. Yeah!!
I haven't called the insurance company to see what the rate increase is going to be. Yikes!!
Speaking of driving......
Last week I was taking my neighbor's grandmother to the doctor. I drove Aaron's car because it is much more comfortable than the big SUV and the little compact car that we also have.
Next thing I know we passed a motorcycle cop. He flipped on his lights and I knew I was busted. Here is the problem: I normally don't speed. Well, I technically go five over the speed limit but never more than that. Usually. I have never driven Aaron's 425-horsepower-rides-smooth car on the toll road. I was clocked at 87 m.p.h.. That was 17 miles per hour OVER the speed limit. I had NO idea I was going that fast. Charlene (my neighbor's grandma) and I were just chatting and enjoying our time together. The police officer ruined my trip with my neighbor. It wasn't his fault that I was speeding. It wasn't my fault either. I TOTALLY blame the car. Aaron later told me that just as guns don't kill people, people kill people. Cars don't speed, people speed. I don't care, I still blame the car.
Anyway, Charlene was less fazed by the speeding ticket than I was. (Probably because she doesn't have to pay the fine). She simply said, "When things like this happen, there is always a reason for it. We probably just avoided something up ahead." Sure enough, ten miles down the road was a car accident. She was right. I was wrong. I broke the law.
This is the new workout shirt I bought since the incident.
