Speed Racer

I can't believe the weekend is over already. Saturday morning I met my sister at Applebee's. Brooke's class was serving a pancake breakfast to raise money for their chem free trip to New York. I didn't eat that ^ many pancakes though!

After that I went to run some errands, when I stopped at the Belknap Mall to go into CVS, the Red Cross bus was right next to where I parked. I have never given blood before, but I have always wanted to. My life was saved once by someone who gave their blood. So I signed up and went in.

I was so brave! I actually don't mind getting shots or having blood drawn. It was over pretty quickly, the longest is filling out the paper work and answering questions. Have you had sex with a man who had sex with another man in the last 3 months? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT! Saturday night we went out for a big night on the town. No, not really, we went to Reynold's Auction in Bristol. Gary likes to buy junk to sell on e-bay. But, he did make one good purchase this ring that promptly went on my finger

and it was a perfect fit. On the way home, we were jabbering about something, and yes, not paying attention to where we were and the speed limit signs. We flew past a cruiser that was going in the opposite direction, Gary said, oh shit. I said, oh crap ( I never swear) you are in the 40MPH zone here. Sure enough the cruiser swung around and flicked on his blue lights.

Since there was no chance of outrunning him with our Ford Edge we pulled over at the New Hampton bridge. The cop, who looked like he hasn't even started shaving yet asked where we were going. Gary says, home. He asked where we were coming from, Gary says an auction in Bristol. (party animals that we are) Gary also adds in that we are unfamiliar with the area. Well that was a bold-faced lie, Half my family lives up there, and I grew up vacationing there at the lake my whole life. :) I think the cop felt sorry for me with all that junk in the back from the auction so he gave Gary a warning. THANK YOU for not adding a $100 speeding ticket on to the $200 in junk we just bought! and by the way, Gary was going 58 MPH in a 40 MPH zone. tsk-tsk.
