Guilty...as charged

So....I didn't got to jail. I feel kind of bad...someone DID give money towards my bail. And I will send the kind people at March of Dimes a check. But the week came crashing down and I ran out of time and out of me.
As a substitute sentence, I DID spend an hour and a half at the Motor Vehicle Division getting 2 duplicate titles issued on some trailers we recently sold at church. And I couldn't go to the MVD Express (15 minutes, or less....In-DUN-GO!!) because they can't do duplicate titles there. So I got to rub shoulders with all the other losers unfortunates who either couldn't do their business at MVD Express or didn't want to fork over the $15 that you pay for the 15 minutes or less gig. It's interesting how many people:

a) are missing one or more permanent teeth, usually in front. Usually these people have at least one "homemade" tattoo on their body. Sometimes it's a teardrop on their cheek...how sad

b) bring their toddlers to the MVD in their pj's. And then buy them snacks out of the vending machine that said toddlers proceed to sprinkle over their fellow MVD goers.
c) appear to be shocked and surprised that there is a wait at the MVD.

So, jail is apparently off my horizon. At least for now. No more tp'ing for this mom! I don't even want to think what the sentence/bail might be for a 2nd offense.

Glad you're not in Jail.

LOVE your observation at the MVD. It must be a national thing because those SAME people are here!

Also the cell phones! Don't get me started on the cell phones. Yes, I have one too, but there is a time and a place for everything and MUST PEOPLE YELL WHEN THEY ARE STANDING IN LINE TALKING ON THEIR CELL PHONES!!!!

You need to join the "Get Rid Of The Word Verification Club". That's the letters we need to type in after leaving a comment. THEY'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY---er. Sorry, thought I was talking on my cell phone. :)

LOL! I guess when you have 2 hours wait time, *Observing* is a good hobby to have. :)

HaHa! I see ADHD-Jo got her way in the comments section too! I took my word verification off a few months back. That is so funny. I agree with her but still it's funny.

It's ok to talk on the cell. It's the people that think they NEED TO YELL. One day I would love to be standing in line with a friend, then if someone starts yelling while talking on their cell, my friend and I could carry on a normal conversation (normal?) but YELL the whole thing.

As for texting....a GREAT standing in line passtime.

HHHmmm...no word verification....now I might start spamming you. lol

Random Dozen October 7

Time for this week's edition of Random Dozen. I just argued with myself over the placement of that apostrophe. It's way too early for this. Anyway, play along and head on over to 2nd cup and link up. (wow--that rhymes) 1. On an average, how often do you splurge and buy something for yourself? Maybe a couple of times a year. But the thing is, it usually has to be on clearance, and then additional savings off. Last week I gained huge ground and bought a top that was just on sale, not clearance. I don’t have this problem when I buy things for others, just myself. 2. Are you more like Hall or Oates? Just kidding. Real question: What is the last creative project you began/finished? Feel free to post a pic of it. Creative? Like in crafts? Pshaw. I wrote a pretty good article for our church website. Does that count? 3. OK, Goldie Locks, do you consider your house too big, too little or juuuust right? I love my house. But it has 6 people and 3 bedrooms and 1600 sq feet. In the gran

THAT kind of neighbor, Toilets, Accidental Brunette-dness and the RD

Image
We are THAT family. For the past six weeks or so, our neighbors have been very patient with us. Every time we pull into our driveway, the theme from Sanford and Son plays. We have had up to six toilets in our yard at one time. In addition to this, because we are under construction and building out the garage as a bedroom for the two younger boys, everything that was formerly in the garage has had to find another temporary home. Thus, we have an elliptical machine, skate boards and ice chests on my front porch and a six-piece Pearl drum kit in my shed. And at one point, the bench seats from my old Suburban were leaning against the front gate. Obviously, we never parked our cars in the garage. Yep. THAT family. I am ever so glad we don’t have a homeowner’s association who gets wigged out over that kind of thing. And that we have neighbors who either are just oblivious or kind… And now, for the big reveal, I believe the time has come to answer the elusive question…what is UP wit

S-kating along plus another Random Dozen

Thinks I thunk about LOST tonight: 1. Claire: REALLY? You are 8 months pregnant and going to willingly...VOLUNTARILY get in a cab with a person that was holding a gun on you about 10 minutes ago. REALLY? 2. I've seen the guy who cut off Kate's handcuffs before. Was he one of the original others? Or is he just a character actor from another series? I think they don't do that kind of thing on this show and he's ba-ack...but from where? 3. Ethan looks just as creepy. He is one skeevy guy. 4. Sawyer cries pretty. Real pretty. 5. Do you really think the cops would've left the hospital room without checking around for Kate. And I didn't catch Kate's alias (Joan something?). That name is sure to have some kind of hidden meaning. 6. Miles is kind of growing on me. Like a fungus. 7. So if Sayid and Claire have been 'claimed' by the darkside, does that mean that Rousseau was claimed by them earlier? Did Claire get the waterboard treatment as
