what a lucky woman...

I had a great weekend! Saturday morning my friend and went to the River Center where they were having a Women's Health and Wellness fair with all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen foundation. It was fun, we spent a couple hours there, then went to the Olive Garden for lunch. YUM!!! I had the Asiago Ravioli with Chicken in a yummy white sauce.

Saturday night I headed up to the farm. Well... the LONG straight-a-way between Cordova and Albany did it to me again... flying down the highway, not realizing how fast I was going and passed a cop. He pulled a U-turn and hit his lights... Man, I was making good time too was all I could think. I knew I was busted, I figured I was doing about 10 mph over. So he comes up to my window.

"License and insurance card please. Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Speeding..." with the awe man I got caught tone.
"Are you aware of your speed?"
"Ummm.. I'm guessing 65ish, but I wasn't watching it."
"72... give me a minute I need to run these." and walks back to his car.
So there I am sitting there waiting, trying to decide how much a ticket for 17 mph over the speed limit was going to cost me... 10 minutes later he comes back. He hands me my license back and flips open his book and starts to tear the paper out.
"So, can you please do me a favor tonight?" I nod "Will you slow down?"
I nod again waiting for the ticket.
"I'm giving you a written warning tonight, but just slow down!!!" Then he winked!

Thank you very cute police officer for not giving me a ticket! If I was single I might have asked you for your phone number, well, I would have thought about it, not sure if I would have the courage to do so LOL! There was more to the conversation that we had, but that was the only talk that pertained to me being pulled over. The rest was small chat while he looked over my insurance card and finished writing up the warning.
 
After I got to the farm we went out to dinner with Chad's family for his mom's birthday. I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't have much fun. After dinner we headed to a little shit-hole bar, they were having a Mardi Gras party. It was packed, the DJ was too loud and it was soooo hot in there. I finally had to excuse myself from the family and go sit outside. Luckily everyone decided to migrate down the road to a less crowded bar. Now this place is my kind of bar, most of the time at least. It's a quiet place. I started feeling better while we were there and I was able to have a good time.

Nothing exciting happened today. I made some turkey burgers for dinner. They are so yummy! I'll have to post the recipe later when I'm not so tired! I am officially off to bed now though!
