DOODBRO - Awesome

Only in Orange County

Is anybody else seeing a lot of these in their neighborhood?

I see this way too often around here. Don't dogs like to walk anymore?

Teeth

Owen has a third tooth coming in. It's in the front on the top.

In the red

If you were wondering how much running a red light in Orange County is going to cost you, I can tell you, it's $406. My storied driving record continues. However, I do not have a story about how I tried to get out of this ticket; that I cried, or claimed "mommentary" insanity. I was nabbed by photo-law enforcement. Cameras mounted at the intersection caught me. Getting the notification in the mail so long after the fact is completely disorienting. I have no recollection that I ran a red light or that I got away with a close one. When I opened the ticket I was shocked to see four color photographs of my mini van entering the intersection, my license plate number, my face, and the obviously red light. When I saw the evidence I was glad that A) the kids weren't in the car and B) my hands were on 10 and 2 and C) I wasn't on the cell phone.

The ticket was pretty much the low point in my week; a week in which this happened.

I'm just going to pay the fine. I don't think I have the cajones or energy to do this.

I'm going to save the story about the time I got two tickets in one day for another post, I'm rationing.

Sleepy post

Tonight, I am at a loss for the blog post. I am not a night person and here it is a quarter to ten and my brain has already gone to bed. I'm only up now because of The Office. This is the best I've got tonight.

Here is a list of blogs that I really enjoy and get much inspiration from - except tonight, when I can't come up with a post.

Fussy
Mighty Girl

Maybe I should have signed up for this instead:
