Driving Daringly


This is my favorite kind of weekend I only had plans to do one thing, and that was Saturday evening Sometimes I just like to spend a day or two all by myself Friday night I did a little bit of shopping then came home and fixed a pizza, all for myself :) I didnt eat it all, but it felt good to be able to know I could if I wanted too (ok, maybe thats a little weird but its true:)
I can sleep in on any day of the week, except Saturday Knowing that I dont have to work I just hate to sleep in too late, for fear of wasting a completely free day :) By 9:00 I was up and at 'em, as my mom used to say First I went to Starbucks and got a cheese danish and a Rasberry Mocha then spent the morning shopping (yes, again) even though I didnt buy a thing! In the afternoon I did a load of laundry and straightened the house
About 5:30, I headed to Georgetown to help out my aunt and uncle at a concert They sing Christian music around the country and I love to go when they are close by It was a fun night with a great crowd By the end of the night, they were almost completely out of their new CD and they had to be in PA by 2:00 Sunday afternoon for another concert (a 13 hr drive and it was already about past midnight) Since my car could make it back home much quicker than the big bus, my cousin Courtney and I hoppped in and took off for the 45 minute ride When we got to the house, we realized that we didnt have a key and every door was locked SO, being the brilliant blondes that we are we came up with plan We fetched the ladder from the wall in the garage, leaned it against the house and Courtney scurried up the ladder to the second floor balcony By the time she reached the top, we were laughing hysterically It was about 1:15 a.m. and I was sure the neighbors were going to call the cops on us, thinking someone was breaking into the house Courtney reached the top and fell onto the balcony, literally, Thankfully the door up there was unlocked We grabbed the boxes and "raced" back to the truck stop to meet the bus
One more problem... The man in the little white car with colorful lights on top didnt appreciate my racing I saw him following closely behind me but it was too late He actually pulled me over just as we were pulling into the truck stop I will never forget the look on Aunt Kims face as she was walking towards the bus and saw someone getting pulled over At first she was just a curious onlooker until she realized it was us! Later she told me that she was just sure Courtney was the one driving, which thankfully she wasnt (she has her permit) We all know she wouldnt have been speeding though, right Court? ;) I explained everything to him, pointing out the bus, the CD's in my back seat, the late hour etc. When he was headed back to his car to "do some checkin" Courtney reminded me that we forgot to tell him we had just finished breaking into a house SO, I called him back to my car... Just kidding! He was kind enough to give me a warning (yay!) Going 14 mph over the speed limit, I deserved a ticket but thank goodness for mercy! Anyways, we loaded the CDs up and they were on their way My only regret of the night is not having my camera!

Fun stuff!


I did find this picture of Courtney and I-partners in crime!

Only a couple of blondes could get into that much trouble. You and Courtney remind me of the other.
