IT'S NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE DYING...

The freakin' speed limit is FORTY-FIVE people...

*eyeroll*

A woman from out of town died on a local highway over the weekend in an area where lanes are blocked off and construction is taking place. They have opened the breakdown lane and closed the fast lane and pushed all the lanes to the right in order to start repaving from the innermost lanes, out- on BOTH sides of the highway. A woman lost control of her Sienna and veered into the "breakdown" lane that people were actually now driving in, only there was a parked car there with a man inside. She was wearing a seatbelt and died as a result of the crash. He is in the hospital.

Today I was telling my daughter the story about the crash and how dangerous "this" strip of road was right now during construction as we were driving thru it. Even after it made news on every station and every nearby newspapers front page, people still think they are invincible. I could hardly do the speed limit (45mph) without getting rear-ended. I am rarely scared when I drive and I was LITERALLY horrified to go any slower than 55 with people/traffic all around me. It was ridiculous, really. People were flying by me veering in and out of lanes around people (mind you they've painted SOLID lines) with not a care in the world of the construction taking place and the danger they could've caused for themselves or others. Do people NOT know what SOLID LINES mean??? Seriously? I mean it's sad enough they have to announce on the radios and newspapers and even the news that you are supposed to STOP and/or pull over and/or slow down for emergency vehicles (ie. ambulance, police, etc). Are you flippin kidding me? Do we really need a drivers education refresher course? Is anyone still taking an actual TEST to get their license anymore.

One of my biggest pet peeves is horrible drivers. Mind you, I am not the SLOWEST driver, and I take ALOT of risks when I'm driving and my daughter is not in the car, but I am not a stupid driver. I know the rules of the road, even though I don't abide by the one about speeding LOL. Hey, I'm paying dearly for that one. Alright, I am not one to talk.

*sigh*

In further news, I called and got my insurance quote yesterday for my homeowners. Oddly enough my insurance agent has a lady that handles homeowners in their office. Well, turns out she is my new neighbor. I find that quite interesting. Heheh!

I also decided since I was now within the 45 day mark of my closing and that I could lock in a finance rate as of Monday, that I wasn't going to fuck with fate and I just locked it in right away. This way I get a good rate- 4.875% fixed for 30 yrs- and I don't have to sweat it out over the next 45 days if this stupid market changes so drastically and goes back up to 5.25% where it started when I first began this adventure. I am happy and I'm not looking back.

Now for your TMI Tuedsay- I haven't stopped- I just take a break every now and again. LOL

1. Have you ever sent or recieved a sext message?
*Yes. Both sent and recieved. Not a big deal, really.

2. Have you ever made or recieved a booty call?
*Yup. Again, both. Mostly it was to an ex tho. I know a few dirty whores who call a different guy every night, sometimes in the same day. They should be ashamed of themselves. Fucking dirty bitches!

3. Have you ever added or edited a word/entry to Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary or any other online reference?
*Nope.

4. At what age did you have your first consensual sexual experience?
*Probaby 15? I would say anything that *I* would consider and "experience".

5. What has been the greatest age difference between you a consensual sexual partner?
*10 years both up and down.

Bonus (as in optional): Why do you blog?
*The number one reason that I blog is because I have a lot of great readers who come by and give feedback and help out when I ask for it. It's nice to get an opinion from someone who is not in the middle of a situation, kinda like a jury. I appreciate all my readers, even the ones that rarely delurk and post comments. I catch a lot of you by email even though you don't speak up on here. I love ya all, well...almost all of ya. HA! I also blog to scream in excitement and vent to get stuff off my chest. It helps, really...and it's WAY easier than actually writing!

Happy TMI!
