Tim and I went out to dinner at Chili's tonight with Karen and Jason. We had a good time as always! When we had left I reminded Tim that I had a headlight out, but we decided to take my car anyway. We were less than 3 miles from home and BOOM blue lights! My stomach did 103,409,287 flips. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER BEEN PULLED OVER!!! Luckily I wasn't speeding. I was less than 1/2 mile from the Bagaduce Road (the left you take off of Route 1A.) I IMMEDIATELY pull over. I've had the light out since about Tuesday. Anyway, the cop comes up and takes my license and Tim's. I'm completely confident he is going to let me go because my license is 103% CLEAN, but I'm still nervous none the less. After the cop goes back to his car I mention to Tim that this cop does the robbery training at my bank. Tim's like you got to say that to him, that's how you'll get out of it. Tell him you know him from some where and mention the training. I couldn't even think straight let alone play Mrs. NiceGirl. My license has our Holden address so if he knows Holden at all (which he should, he's a friggin' Holden cop) than he knew we were 5 minutes from home. He spent an eternity in his car and came back to give our licenses back and say "You're all set Kristie, just get that light fixed". Sigh* I made friendly eye contact and say "Thank you". Then proceeded to almost side swipe someone while trying to get back onto the road. I'm like that's exactly what I need to do, get into a friggin accident right here while the cop is right behind me. ugh*!
