Traffic Violation

On my way to court to try to fight a speeding ticket I received months ago...wish me luck!


I guess I should have at least tried to talk myself out of the ticket, but I didn't.  Heading to Patterson Court House in a couple of minutes.



Basically, they make you show up 45 minutes before court begins.  Sounds like a whole lot of waiting around if you ask me.  That'll teach me to keep the pedal to the metal!  No, seriously, I really wasn't going very fast. The officer made a mistake.  It was impossible for me to be speeding.  I was in a long line of cars driving home after work and there's just no way I could have been doing 20 mph above the speed limit.  If I was, EVERYBODY was speeding.



Anyone who thinks my hot new Mini may have proved to be a target, raise your hand!

Hey! Curious where I've been for the last 7+ years?

Oh my poor lonely blog, without a blogger to care for it....shame on me!  This is a typical Gemini, or A.D.H.D. behavior rather, that I often exhibit.  It's called toobusytocareism .  It's true!  I have just been too busy to pay any attention to...ME.  I love to write, but I also love all of the life events that I've endured over the past SEVEN YEARS if I'm doing my math correctly. I began this blog ages ago - when I was recently married and not yet a Mama.  I was still quite busy with work, lots of cats and my Mister, who we'll keep anonymous - at least for now.  We were living in that gorgeous Queen Anne style Victorian in Amenia, New York, when I had started my beloved blog.  Well, it lasted less than one full month - the blog that is - not the house, relationship, etc.!  The marriage is still going strong (at least most days) and the house to the best of my knowledge still stands as well, but we don't live in it, which brings me to my...

Dental Disaster

I must have bad luck when it comes to dental work.  I went into my dentist's office today for a simple filling.  He gave me a shot of Novocaine and kept asking me whether or not I was numb.  I kept telling him, "a little bit."  Anyway, he starts drilling and I basically jumped in my seat.  Then he asks, sounding surprised, "Are you feeling this?" while simultaneously pulling the drill out of my mouth. "Yes!" I replied as best I could with some contraption still hanging out of the left side of my mouth.  And I knew immediately when he pulled the drill out of my mouth (drill still set on high speed), he swiped my bottom lip. I'm now back at work with a not-so-small cut on my not-so-small recently fattened lip. I have a party to attend tomorrow night.  I just hope I can hide this by then.  :(  BOO HOO Now I know why it's been a while since I went to the dentist.  Somehow, it's never a good experience for me.

TGIF

Thank goodness it's Friday! This has been a long week for me.  Too much driving.  Lot's of work at the office and not enough sleep! I'm ready for the weekend. I have to admit I still haven't taken the ornaments off our Christmas tree nor removed the holiday lights from the front and side of my house (not that it's unusual for me to postpone activities such as this).  I also have a full Christmas snow village to take down and I have to pack up my beloved carolers . While I sat impatiently in my office chair today waiting for the clock to strike 5:00, I couldn't help but do a little shopping...I managed to spend quite a bit of dough just sitting here.  It can be a problem sometimes, the ease of online shopping.  Anyway, I'm looking forward to receiving my new items tomorrow (thanks Amazon Prime)! Want to see what I bought?  I thought you might! :) Mirror I've needed since my previous mirror broke about 3-4 months ago!  Yes, I have li...
