From The Criminal of the Group

So, here's what kind of trouble my husband gets me into!  Awhile back, I was following him in my Expedition (behind the motorcycle). He was going to get his bald tires replaced and his inspection sticker updated. I was afraid to let him get too far ahead, so I stayed close behind. 

In typical Brian fashion, he accelerated too fast at the green light. HOWEVER, I am the one who got pulled over. Yup, I looked down when I saw the cop, and I was going 55 in a 40 mile per hour zone.  FIFTY-FIVE!!!!!  

I guess I should be thankful that Brian didn't get pulled over, seeing as he would've also gotten a ticket for his bald tires AND his inspection sticker, but nonetheless, I am the criminal.

And as if I didn't learn my lesson, I waited until the last possible minute to take my online defensive driving course. If it doesn't get to the court in time, guess what?  Not good. 

I managed to finish up the test this morning at 2:30 am. But hey, I got a 100 on the test, so at least I went to bed with an "A" on my driving report card.  Now...praying it gets shipped to me in time to get it to the court...

Yikes!  How do you guys put up with a mess like me!????!!!

I need Jiwi, as long as there's not a prison there...or laws...gerph.

Our bowling adventure

If that isn't finesse, I dunno what is. ;)



Annika's style is, well, unique - but she actually got a few spares with this technique! hehe

And, of course, just for Sawa:
Lovely shoes, aren't they? (FYI - that's one of my feet and two of Annika's.)

We had LOTS of fun, but have determined, NEXT time, to only play one game. Andrew got pretty unfocused by about halfway through the second. And I ALSO determined that it HURTS to have your foot stepped on with those clunky shoes.
