It's good to be alive.

I am incredibly proud of myself. After reading Davie K's Fbook note, I was inspired to create a list of goals for myself to accomplish withing 12 months. After multiple conversations with Boyfriend, I was inspired to consider that some introspective goals be included on that list.

This morning, I got a speeding ticket. I was fined $150 total for going 61 in a 45. To be entirely honest, I do not believe that I was going that fast, but what can I say? I read up on this ENRADD deal that they apparently used to clock my speed, and the internets have made it out to be pretty much infallible. Anyway, I allowed myself the amount of time it took to get from the spot on 611 where I was pulled over until I got to work to freak out. I called my mom, I cried a little, and then I just decided not to freak out anymore. The only thing I can do is pay my ticket, and just pledge to drive a little more slowly in the future. Even though I still really don't believe that I was going that fast.

This is an unusual thing for me. In the past weeks, I've spazzed to the high heavens when even something minutely terrible happens to me. I'm proud of the way I handled myself. I also have a case of Lionshead chilling in my fridge. I will be handling that shortly. =D
