Beach, Tupperware, Collages!

We went to the Beach on Memorial Day, and I learned that I can download a free photo program and make a collage.  hurray!



Gracie is crawling around everywhere.  I had to rearrange our cupboards so that she can pull whatever she wants out of them without breaking anything.  It's fun following her around all day picking things up so that I don't trip and break my nose.

Perfect Driving Record

I got pulled over today.  I deserved it.
Don't you hate that feeling after you've handed over your license, registration and proof of insurance, while the cop is back in his car doing who knows what, wondering: Am I going to get a ticket?  How much will it be?  Should I go to court or just pay it?  Where am I going to get the money to pay it?  How much will my insurance go up now?  Is my husband going to be mad at me?  Why couldn't my baby have been bawling when he came to the window? How long does this take? sheesh

I've only got one ticket, and it was in Puerto Rico, on my mission, it was embarrassing.
But that doesn't mean I've only been pulled over only once. Oh, I've been pulled over many a times.  But I seem to have this way with the policemen that makes them always want to take it easy on me.  That's why I'm the primary driver in our family.

So I shouldn't have been surprised when the officer handed back my license and said:
"I didn't want to mess up your perfect driving record, and you've got a little baby"
I thanked him sincerely, we chatted a little about the neighbors in the area who had made complaints which led him to monitor that street and he sent me on my way.

I love being a woman.
