OH DANG! Its the PoPo!

So lately I've had some run-ins with the po-lice...

I know, I know, you thought I was past the irresponsible stage of my life. So did I.

Anyway, seems I have a foot that refuses to use the breaks at red lights and when getting on the highway.

A few weeks ago Paul called me to inform me that he got a cute little photo of my car from the gracious folks at the city of Bedford police department. I could've sworn that light was YELLOW and I let Paul know that. His response? "Kristen, I'm watching the video of you running the VERY red light online. Nice try."
I still claim ignorance on that one.

THEN! This morning I was just cruising on my way to work minding my own business when those dang lights started flashing behind me again! I honestly had no clue why I was being pulled over. The nice policeman informed me I was going almost 80 mph.
I claim ignorance on this one also.

Thankfully, he believed I was just not paying attention and didn't give me a ticket.

In other news, we put an offer on a house this week. We should hear back today! We could be home-owners soon :)

Cute eh?

Things I've learned about the law:

-When you get pulled over, pull over to the right...I think I missed this in drivers ed

-If you get a ticket for no insurance and don't go to get it dismissed, you will have to pay a surcharge fee to the state for 3 years. THIS STINKS!

-Police frown upon Mustangs in general. Remember this when car buying.

So I had an interesting day yesterday...well, interesting for me anyway. I don't lead the most interesting life, which I thank God for everyday because I used to live in a soap opera.

I went to the doctor to try and get this hormone stuff under control. What did she tell me? "Kristen, you just got off birth control. Give it 6 months. On another note, you're a fatty...work out more"
Pissed.

But she was pretty cool...and short...she made me sit on her swirly stool because I was too tall to examine. (Side note: I wonder if they make exam tables for short doctors. Must look into this to satisfy my own curiosity)

Went to work. Hiked, yes hiked, to the park pushing a double stroller with a couple of two and a half year olds in it. (Note to self: bulk up before having kids of your own...strollers are heavy...kids are heavier)

Since Doc said I needed to work out more, I decided to try out mat pilates at the local gym. Accidentally went on intermediate night instead of amature hour...almost died. I can barely walk today but Paul said I look skinnier so its all good.

Things that are perplexing me today:

~When my realtor communicates via purple scripted (and highlighted) emails, should I assume she's unprofessional? Or just weird enough to handle my eccintricities?

~What the heck is the difference between pre-qualifying and pre-approval??

~Why does Heidi Montag continue to pretend she's a real music artist? Yuck
