Do you know what you did wrong? Doing 40 in a 35?. No, you turned right on red, when there are two signs clearly stating, “No turn on red.” Oh? Drivers license and registration, please? Here is my drivers license; reaching for the glove box, I have two registrations here….ahh lets see I think this one is the current one. Thanks, Officer Rodriguez walks away. I turn to Ang, my old friend from Mariposa and she tells me to calm down, since I am turning my bag inside out looking for the car insurance card. She tells me it isn’t necessary and she was right, apparently the police can get that info first hand from their patrol car computer. The officer returns to the car and proceeds to ask me if the address on my license is correct and I proudly say no, I bought a house in October. He was none to pleased with this answer, who knew that you have 10 days to change your address in the state of Florida. Geez! Rodriguez had three things for me to complete, address correction, watch the speed and no turn on red when noted. Let me just say that I prayed for Officer Rodiguez that night….because he didn’t give me a ticket, even after all that! Merry Christmas to me!!

I can’t believe the amount of time since my last entry. Fall is such a busy time of the year anyway, but some extra stuff has kept me busy! Yep! Started back to school and bought a house! It was crazy how quickly we moved. It truly is a buyers market. We bid on our house the first week of September and closed on the 28th, only three weeks later. If you want to see a pic of the house check out my picasa page.

My buddy Amy Beth sent me this picture and I couldn’t help but place it on this blog. This pic is from circa 2000. As you can see, we were chasing cool. In the email that Amy sent me she remind me that none of us have our tongues pierced anymore….thank God!

It rolls on slippery and smooth. Probably not the most sophisticated way to apply moisture to my lips, but boy am I addicted. Like a tween, I smear this flavored lip ointment by Loreal on my lips and then smack my lips together. Not just to anoint the whole upper and lower lip, it’s more for the pleasure of it. I confess, I have a tube of this stuff in my car, in my backpack, in my purse and sometimes in my front pocket.

Friday night we went to the Orlando Rep to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. One of Phee’s friends ended up leaving before the show started, because she still isn’t comfortable at The Rep. CH and Phee really liked the play. Phee even has a favorite character, Violet, the gum chewer. I’m not sure why, since Phee isn’t a gum chewer herself.

When I was a kid, SNL did this skit with Gilda Radner that I still laugh about and often refer too. It is the knock, knock, who’s there….Land Shark….who? This skit goes on and on. Love it! So when I found out there is a new lager by the name Land Shark, I had to try it. This occurred when Chris’ father who works at the Anheuser-Busch plant in Jacksonville shared some super cold Land Shark with us at a BBQ. He told us how Anheuser-Busch makes Land Shark but they don’t get credit for it. The beer label says it is made at Margaritaville Brewing Company in Jacksonville, Fl. Too bad my home town doesn’t get its due. Oh well, that isn’t stopping me from totally requesting this beverage whenever it is available. Drink responsibly people.
