This is an open letter to those who blew by me on my way to San Antonio this afternoon:
To All of You Who Must Have Missed the Speed Limit Signs:
I am in the right lane because I go 70 in a 70. Please do not zip up behind me and flash your lights. Where would you like me to move to get out of your way? The shoulder? No, thank you. I will piddle along at my middle aged pace in a futile attempt to obey the law (mostly) and drive at a safe rate of speed. And save gas.
So please pass me by in the left lane. Wave at me when I let you in, nicely, after you got close enough to lick the chrome off my bumper. I am patient and long suffering, I suppose. And I am not a rule breaker, including speeding.
And I think that I'm a safer driver than you. But just a little.

When Did That Happen? And Other Musings
This is my Five for Friday, but I needed to ask a question of myself, and hopefully get an answer. Hmmm.
1. I think I'm getting to be an adult. At least, I am more adult than not these days. I actually had a converstaion about fiber in breakfast cereal last week. And said it was awesome. *sigh* But the cereal itself is really, really good, is that a mitigating circumstance? FiberOne Autumn Harvest is worth picking up. Yummy and full of fiber. Awesome. *sigh*
2. At what point does one just throw in the towel and resign? Probably when one has another job lined up, for starters. Some really petty things are happening at work. When my manager came to me to discuss how these things would be impacting me (and only me), she shrugged when I asked her what she wanted me to do, how she wanted me to work. Shrugged! Yeah, dusting off the resume. Perhaps.
3. I get to see AB next weekend. I am so excited. Of course more pictures to come from that trip. I made all my Bunko friends endure photos of her last night. Thanks O and K for the cute photo album. I get almost as many compliments on that as I do of her.
4. I can confidentally say that I can fix and serve 150 servings of spaghetti with bread and cookies. That is the equivalent of 5 of the LARGE pans of spaghetti. I can also confidentally say that it is way more fun with a friend, and that I do not want to eat spaghetti for a long time.
5. The most important news: Jeremy had a pre-interview this week that was promising. He's supposed to hear from the company themselves sometime soon to set up a *real* interview. He knows a little bit about where the job is and what he would be doing. The worksite is not too terribly far from us, considering where we live, and it seems to be something he would enjoy doing. Please be praying for the doors to open if that's what is in God's plan. And as much as it hurts me, if this isn't in God's plan, we don't want the doors opened.
This time next week I hope to be snuggling a baby! Yeah! And I just realized last night that my target date for taking my boards is 6 weeks away. Gulp. I gotta get cracking!

Party Animals
When do you people find time to blog?!! I don't even have time to read all that I want.
August was filled with celebrations, and I promised pictures for those of you who couldn't be there. Or wanted to see photos of my brother intensely studying a pacifier label. It was cute. I know this is crazy late, but we had a hiccup called Ike in the middle of September, and this never got posted. So there you go. Parties from two months ago that were fun!
Wedding
Two handsome ushers!
Setting: metropolis of A. The guy getting married is my cousin's son. We drove around with the windows down in August because the humidity was under 80%. The wedding was beautiful and we wish both of them blessings on this marriage.
2 Year Old Birthday Party
Setting: metropolis of LC. The theme was Sesame Street and was SO CUTE!! Beware, I'm taking notes! The boys seemed to really enjoy themselves, and the rest of the kids did too.

Baby Showers! (I know AB's already here, but here are her parties!)
Setting: metropolis of SA. My brother and SIL picked ladybugs for the nursery, and it's SO CUTE. The theme of the second shower was ladybugs and was SO CUTE.
Jeremy is still looking for a job. He redid his resume and started sending it out again. So far there's been some interest, so please keep that in your prayers.
So now we're caught up. Work is back to normal, life is back to normal. For us at least. We're going to enjoy the calm before the holidays. Can you believe they're just around the corner! Now that I have instilled panic, I will sign off. Enjoy your day.
