Currently I am sitting on my sofa with a fresh cup of earl gray tea and two cookies beside me. Gizmo just jumped on the sofa and snuggled up against my leg. It's Monday, which is laundry day for us, so the washer and dryer are humming in the other room and I have piles of folded laundry around me. The sink is full of dishes, but I won't get to them tonight. On the kitchen table I have several ACEO's drying. I'm really excited about this set... think vintage.
I had my ultrasound (to clarify again, I'm not pregnant) today and when she first put the scanner on my belly she said "woah your bladder is full!". Of course it was, I followed the darn instructions and drank 4 cups of water two hours before. Wouldn't everyone she sees have full bladders? She was very nice though. She had to do another type of scan on me after the ultrasound but she let me run to the bathroom first. We also ran into Jarod's sister's boyfriend in the waiting room. He fixes medical equipment at hospitals and clinics for a living. It's always strange when you run into people you know at totally random places.
On the way home from the lab Jarod was driving and a car started tailgating him really, really close. Jarod is not a slow driver, so he tapped his breaks to signal to the guy to get of his tail. The guy in the car behind us freaked out and laid on its horn for a loooong time still following right behind us. Then he swerved out in to the other lane and started swerving right at us before cutting us off completely and slamming on his breaks. We came to a stop behind him and Jarod and the other driver both jumped out of their cars and started yelling at each other. The other guy kept screaming random things like "you're going to jail", etc. as he started going through his glove box. I'm guessing he was looking for a pen and paper to write down our license plate number. Jarod got back in to our car (I know it was because if he talked to the guy any longer he would have punched him) and tried to drive away from the situation but the other driver got back in his car and kept swerving in front of us, cutting us off and signaling for us to pull over. He almost hit us so many times! When we were behind him in a left turn lane he obviously wanted us to pull over when we turned left so Jarod turned right instead and we lost him. Jarod has a bit of a temper (never, ever towards me) so he was breathing really heavy. It was such a weird situation! I was in the passengers seat the entire time so I saw exactly what happened. The only thing possibly "wrong" that Jarod did was tap his breaks a bit so the idiot behind us would get the point to stop tailgating. And the guy FREAKED!
This is why I don't like driving. Too many crazy people on the roads.
oh my gosh al, thats so scary. we've been in situations before like that and all i can say to mike is that its not his driving that scares me, its the other stupid people on the road that terrify me. i'm glad you guys are ok though!
