the good, the bad, and the ugly
Thought today was going pretty well.
Actually got some good stuff out of both Sunday school class and the morning serivce.
Spent a nice afternoon at the parents.
Made contact with someone about possible part-time work.
Finished reading the first book in the series I am reading. Great book!
Back to church for the children's Christmas program. Always worth going to see what those little buggers are going to do...
Not a bad day up to that point.
Then........
On my way home from church tonight, I got pulled over. Been a while. And that specific thought that it has been a while since I had been pulled over actually just crossed my mind sometime last week. Can't remember the exact day. But it was last week. And, to make things even better...I had no current proof of insurance. Had the card with me that expired at the end of September. Don't ever remember getting new ones from the insurance company. But that is besides the point. Because I didn't have current proof with me, I have to go to court in January to show that I did, indeed, have insurance when I got pulled over. Big fat YAY! Always wanted to be able to say I have been to court. Wait. NO! Wrong answer!
And here is the real kicker in this one... While I was standing in my parents kitchen this evening, just before leaving to go back to the church, I was looking thru my wallet for some reason and saw that the insurance card I had in there was expired. Yes, this was probably a mere three hours before being pulled over. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!
Not happy with myself at all right now. Because my money situation which was VERY tight is going to get extremely tighter now. Because the officer who pulled me over informed me that after you move to Colorado, you have thirty days after finding a place to live to get you driver's license and plates changed. So I am thinking it would probably be a good idea to get that done before I have to go to court. Which means I have to pay several hundred dollars for all of that. And also change my insurance to CO, which is more expensive than what I was paying in Mississippi. So I either need to sell a kidney or go rob a bank.
Maybe someone will buy my ring soon...
I did like what the kind officer said as he was walking away from my truck though. "Have a better night, sir." Thought that that was a nice touch.
Just a bad way to end an otherwise very enjoyable weekend.
Think I am going to go to sleep now and see if I will wake up with a pot of gold next to my bed.
At least I haven't seen my little buddy, the mouse, for the last couple of weeks.
mood: do I really need to say?
music: "24" - Jem (a rather fitting song, I think)

"Have a better night, sir." Ha! That's awesome. But not really, when it applies to you. I just find it oddly amusing.

Thanks Kathy. I did find it a little funny myself. I think I almost actually laughed, but it took just a second too long to register that it was indeed funny.
