It's about whatever I am thinking about when I open it up to update. No plan, no idea what will show up- they are my 'thoughts for the day.' Although throughout the course of the day I think about more things then what appears on my blog, for those of you who were questioning my mental acuity.

Hypocritical
That's me in my car, heading out to work:)
I have this huge pet peeve about people not using their blinkers while driving. It makes me crazy! How am I supposed to read their minds and just guess where they are going? I can't and no one else can either.
Well earlier this week my blinkers went out. Yup, nada- I flick the little switch and not a darn thing happens. I'm planning on getting it fixed on Friday- hopefully they will work then. But obviously I haven't been able to use my blinkers. Now I could use hand signals and I have but its cold outside and, to be quite honest, having the window down makes for a lot of wind and I don't want to mess up my hair- wind makes it frizzy, although that is no excuse for not signaling.
Also, I must admit, using hand signals makes me feel like a big fat dork. One person thought I was waving at them- doesn't anyone know hand signals anymore? I knew them way before I knew how to drive a car- you learn them in like bicycle safety class in elementary school. You know that "class" that was really just a great excuse to bring your bike to school and ride it all over while practicing turns, stops, and hand signals. I think it was even a cop that taught it. It was just a one day kind of deal. At least that was what we had in the OC when I was in elementary school.
Back to the blinker problem- I guess I learned I shouldn't be so quick to judge other people and call them idiots or morons in my car when they cut in front of me or surprise me in some way out on the road because of their lack of blinker use. Right now I too am one of those jerks.
