go cry about it, why don't you...

i got a speeding ticket yesterday. i was going 55 in a 40. um, everybody does 55 down that road. it's completely desserted and super straight. i tried to work up some tears when the police officer came to my window the first time, but of course they didn't come until he hands me my ticket. then i can't stop. i'm such a baby....or emotional at least. i'm lucky that this is only my 2nd speeding ticket. it was bound to happen sooner or later, and i'm a frequent speeder (mara, ignore that last sentence). then, on top of that, he informs me that my car tags have expired. ok, this is my first car where i've been responsible for the car tags. i didn't know what to do! but i figured it out. so now i'm going to go pay my $400 or whatever for new tags, license plate (i moved counties) and my ticket fine. and i have to go to driving school! how stupid. but guess what? now you can take it online! it's genius. and only $30. so anyway, yesterday was not the best day of my life.

but then i got to spend much needed quality time with some very good girlfriends at "book club." always a good time. we were trying on halloween costumes, and i've decided on this one. trust me, it doesn't look this sexy on me. i used to be obsessed with rainbow brite. when i was little, i had 2 tv trays. one was rainbow brite and one was cabbage patch kids. whenever i had a friend over to play, i always made them use the cabbage patch tv tray, which at the time i thought was way less pretty than the rainbow brite. yeah, and i'm so wearing a side ponytail.
