As many do, I was having a pretty good day until I went to the bank. I went through the ATM. In order for me to reach the ATM from my car, I have to undo my seat belt to lean forward to reach the machine. So I go through the process of making my transaction, close the door and move so others behind me can get there. I turn the corner and make it to the Stop Sign. As I am in the process of putting my seat belt on, a motorcycle cop turns into the parking lot, sees what I am doing and yells, "SEAT BELT". I can hear him as my window is down. So I proceed to buckle up before I go again, I see him turn around, as I turn left and stop shortly for a red light. I look through my rear view mirror and see him right behind me with lights on. Well I was at intersection no where to go so I waited....and waited..and waited for the right turning signal to turn green. Thinking, "He can't possibly give me a ticket right."
The light turns green and I make my way to a parking lot with Motorcycle Cop right behind me. I stop as he stops. I hear him command, "Get out of the car!" I thought, "Sorry Buddy, ain't doing no such thing." He cautiously walks to my window and says, "License, insurance and registration." I hand them to him. I say, "You're giving me a ticket?!" He said, "Yes ma'am. Safety violation." I stammered, "But you saw me putting it on before I got onto the street." He informs me, "Ma'am, you're suppose to put it on before you roll." I thought,"...well you know what I thought, prefer not to write it. I calmly on the exterior but inside I'm jittery and wait until he fills the ticket out.
He hands me the ticket and says, You have until the 22nd of next month to pay it." I asked, "How much is it?." He said, "I don't know. You have to call the number on the back. Have a nice day." Like they have no idea how much it costs.
Are you kidding me? I just respond, "Thank you, you too." but actually thought, "Yea, right Ass wipe." As I left I realized its in the end of the month and I guess he hasn't met his quota. I wonder what my chances are that I would win if I fought it. Probably slim.
I made my way to HOT FOOD EXPRESS to meet Kathy! Great lunch and company! Thanks again Kathy. The food was so good. It's one of those hole in the wall sorta restaurants. I definitely recommend.
Moving on with my little life until I go pay the ticket.."SIGH"
Thanks for reading and commenting if you should do so. I appreciate every one of you!

Baby Girl Promised me a Kangaroo.
I always wanted to visit Australia to see the kangaroos, koalas and their luscious land.
Today my baby girl (She is no longer a baby but she'll always be MY baby) came visit me this afternoon. It was so nice. We just chatted and hung around here. We were clowning around and talking about when I getold et. She knows my ultimate dream about visiting Australia. As we watched TV we saw kangaroos and other animals. She promised me that after she gets her college degree and establishes herself she will get me a kangaroo so I can ride in his pouch. I have never heard of a person riding in a kangaroo's pouch but hey just her stating she would do that for me, just warmed my heart. I love her so much.
For the young parents out there who are having growing kids and have difficulities or may do so in the future, my advice to you is never give up and always let them no matter what, you are and will always be there for them. They do grow up and show you that you didn't parent so bad after all.
Also, for lunch, MyLove, brought my parents and I to a mexican resturant. It was a nice outing. Food and conversation was awesome.

Happy New Year
At 10:30 last night, My Love and I were sitting in our chairs. I can tell he was tired from the physical work he has been doing for his job. I asked if we were staying up for the New Year.
He looked at me red-eyed and inquisitively responded, "I don't know. Are we?"
When I woke up yesterday I had nausea and I was weak. I hardly ate anything. (There went my four pounds I gained.) I believe it was just from doing too much with Layla Thursday. So I took him off the hook. I realized we were feeling the same thing and we went to bed. He was passed out in 2 minutes.
We slept through the fireworks. I set my alarm for 6:15 and it promptly went off. I got up and put the roast in the slow cooker and went back to bed and woke My Love up "Grin." At 7:30 we both got up and when I checked the roast it wasn't even hot. I figured out later that it wasn't plugged in all the way.
We realized we didn't have enough eggs for the cornbread and brownies so while My Love went to the store I called my mom and sister. My mom and dad said they were too old to want to celebrate a new year and they were going to eat whatever they had and stay around home. They were thankful to make it another year though. HAHA.My mom and I caught up with everything. My sister was in one of her nontalkative moods. But she was sick. So I diddled daddled around the house.
Randal returned and he baked. I hate baking but don't mind cooking the old fashioned way on the stove. He cooks microwave-way and bakes. That makes us a team in my eyes!
The roast was cooking. I called Layla to see how she was doing. She sounded tired. Her girlfriend is leaving tomorrow so I asked her if she needed me to go help her during the week. She has this puffy sling on one arm so she is not suppose to move it. She actually said, "Yea, just so you can help me bathe." I was shocked. She rarely admits she needs help without my insistence.
Later she called me back and said the doctor had said she could take the bandages off on the third day which is tomorrow. She wanted to know if Krystal and her got back to her apartment, ate and bathed and it was past midnight, if she could take the bandages off.
I had to think what day it was because she has a tendency to confuse me to what she wants me to see. I sighed and answered,"Well since you are always technical with me I'll be technical with you. Technically, 3 days is around 11 am." I hear her groan. I added with caution, "What are you going to do after your bandage is off? Do you have the small bandaids to replace the big one?"
She excitedly answers, "Yes, I have them. We're going to sleep after and we probably won't be up until after 10 tomorrow." I inquired why she wanted to take them off earlier. She responded the tape was itching her. I had empathy and told her that as long as she applied the bandaids and keep it clean she should be okay.
I was surprised that she actually thought, called and asked before she did it. She usually just does what she wants to do. Maybe this surgery scared a little bit sense in her little scatterbrain she can have.
Anyway, our guest, my cousin K came over. We invited her because she and I reconnected on Facebook a couple of months ago. We got together for lunch a few times. I didn't want her to be alone and I enjoy her company. So she came and we enjoyed our lunch and visit.
Our lunch was traditional around here: Pork roast, rice, gravy, black eye beans, cole slaw and cornbread. She brought some wine. Dessert was Fudge brownies.
Although we had a nice holiday season, I am so glad the holidays are over. Time to get back to every day dullness. YEA! TIS MY LIFE
