A day in the life...

I've been so busy the past few weeks...work, school, church, and just life!!

Here's a peek at my exciting life (HA!):

Legal Assistant by day and student by night.

I try to save a buck. Coupons are my bestfriends.

I'm always excited when I stumbled across a good book.

I take pictures of tourist. LOL. My mom and aunt conquering SF's hills.

I play with cute babies.

I attempt to cook. Chili and cornbread. It was good!

I enjoy watching the season change. LOVE fall!

I  do good deeds when I can. My friend's car died.

This is what I do on Saturdays.

She's a bottle lady!

Just call me the bottle lady. 

My second job is to collect bottles and cans. 

 

So, I wasn't joking about collecting bottles to pay off my criminal ways! I have been saving bottles for some time now and yesterday I  recycled them. I had plans to put the money I would make in my savings BUT now that I am pretty much owned by the State of California the money will go towards my tickets.

Sad.  

An Abundance of bottles and cans

 

Can anyone take a guess on how much I got for all these bottles? 

 

I tried out for NASCAR and went to Youth Alive! WOO

So, this was my first time going to Youth Alive in Burbank, CA and what an adventure it was! I had a wonderful time and was really glad I able to go. I met new people and made new friends!  The services were great and so was the fellowship!

Here are some pictures. I didn't take too many mainly because my phone kept dying :(

New Friends ;)

The famous window picture!

LOL. Love Anali's face & who is that guy?

Finally met Jedidah! YAY! We are cute :)

My road trip buddies

Roommates

Love this girlie!

Six Flags!

My sweet friends. Love them so much!

I am so thankful for these 3 ladies (picture above). What a great time we had together and I am so blessed to have great friends. I love all three of you so much and am so happy we were roommates for a few days. It was a lot of fun! 

Christy: I LOVE YOU! Thank you for being such an amazing hostess and great friend. I miss you already!

Anali:   Ms. Social Butterfly! Thanks for introducing me to all your friends! Love you!

Melissa: I am sooooo happy we got to spend time to get to know each other. I just love you! I'm coming to visit soon!!

Anyway, you may be wondering what's up with my blog title...wellllll.....sadly, as I was cruising along the highway to get to Burbank I got a ticket. SOOOO SAD! This literally bummed me out, but I deserved it! I was speeding and trying to beat the GPS arrival time. Shame on me! It's like a road trip tradition for me and I am suffering the aftermath. However, apparently I wasn't satisfied with just one speeding ticket because on the way back home I had another cop happily hand me another yellow love note! YAY me!  Needless to say, I was not a happy camper Sunday morning! I cried like a baby when I got my second ticket, BUT God's still good. It could have been worse, like a horrible accident. My friends and I are alright and my car is intact. The only thing damaged is my bank account. Sigh, I will be paying these tickets off till Jesus comes back!  What an expensive lesson to learn!! Cruise control is now my BFF!!

So, now I am counting my pennies, smashing all my water bottles, soliciting friends for their empty water bottles and saying good bye to my thrift store shopping adventures...all to pay off my tickets! I may give up a meal or two as well. LOL...if you feel sorry for me...send me some cookies...better yet, send me your empty water bottles or cans! ;)  

This is all funny now. Actually, it is all really funny the more I talk about it. Just my fate! LOL. Now, whenever I see a cop car I start to hyperventilate and shake! HAHA just kidding...kinda!  My co-worker told that years ago she was riding in a car with a friend and her friend who was driving saw a cop. She freaked out and was so nervous that she stepped on the gas and floored it! Apparently she got confused and ended up with a ticket! The cop even asked her what happened?! LOL.

Anyone else have any funny (or not so funny)  cop/ticket encounters?
