LJ Idol Week 7 - Hope

[monkeysugarmama]

I liked speeding. I used to do it all the time. I loved to go fast. Loved the way the wind whipped my hair into a frenzy when the windows were cracked. Loved the blur of glass and chrome as I zipped by some slowpoke in the passing lane.

I’d only been caught once, on my way to my parent’s place in Florida for Mother’s Day. I was flying along, south

SPANGLO!!! Hello!!

I am so glad to see you are still around these parts. I have missed you. And that you weren't claimed by an icy patch of Baltimore road!

As for lateness...yeah, this was cutting it damn close. I thought if one person needed reference help this morning I wasn't going to get it in on time. I am just busier than ever this season - working 10 hours a week more than I was, getting up earlier, so I am not up as late at night to write...ah challenges!

Heh. I have a similar story.

It's amazing how slow those moments are.

I know it had to be seconds, but it felt like an hour!

Duuuuuude... that'll change the way you drive! Glad providence was with you that day, and that your mom didn't have to find your XXX stash!

[monkeysugarmama]

You know, I still drove like a maniac until I had children. Then suddenly I was almost too scared to drive with them in the car at all! Now I understand why my own mom was so pokey - we are really carrying precious cargo.

Glad you are still around to share this story... you certainly had a gaurdian angel watching over you that night! HUGS! You have my vote.

I have had a few fairly miraculous expereinces like that. It always makes me wonder if I am living my life to the best of my ability because obviously there's a reason for me to be on this Earth.

[monkeysugarmama]

You are too sweet!
