Speedy Gonzalez

Have you ever played something over and over in your head before? You know, to the point where you’re absolutely certain of what you will do when the situation finally arises? Well that’s what I had done. My father is a police officer (or at least was, until he retired) and he told me everything to do and say. He even gave me his business cards to have ‘accidentally’ fall out of my wallet when I go for my license.

Unfortunately, when I got pulled over this morning doing 118 in an 80 zone I went speechless for about the 3rd time in my entire life. I gave him everything silently and it wasn’t until I was sitting there waiting for the officer to come back, that I burst into tears (I’m not proud). So by the time that the officer returned and handed me my ticket, I could hardly speak through the snot and tears…

Things did not go as I had planned.

So, I’m out another $230 thanks to my car. That’s close to $600 all together this month. Ah, what would I do without her… JASG
