Oops.

I got my first speeding ticket Sunday night...

Elliott and I were driving home from work.  I wasn't really paying attention to my driving.  I was just driving.  Kind of in a funk.  Sunday was a really long, hard day at work.

I started freaking out.  Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't cry.  I saw the lights flashing, coming down the road.  My rear

he has no right to tell someone that you feel is personal to you and that you don't want spread around. just b/c he doesn't feel like it is a big deal doesn't mean that you don't, and he should respect that by not telling the whole world. i would be pissed too, pms or no. you should get mad at him for disclosing sensitive information, you deserve to be. b/c it's sensitive information! you told him how you felt about it and he dismissed it b/c he didn't agree w/ you feeling that way. that is simply wrong on his part and you need to tell him that he needs to respect your privacy by not telling people things that you don't want other people to know regardless of how he feels about it. that's my take, anyways. sorry for the long comment, but you awoke the future relationship counselor in me. good luck.

Haha. Thank you for the long comment. :) That's exactly how I was feeling! I didn't push it cause we were stuck in the car, and that could have sucked. But thanks, seriously. It's nice to have a positive vote.

p.s.- you'd make a good relationship counselor ;)

If you drive it's a guarantee that:
1. You will get into an accident at some point in time (let's hope it's a fender bender)
2. You will get a speeding ticket sometime.

I'm surprised it's taken this long--not that you're a bad driver, but seriously it happens to all of us.

So don't feel bad about the ticket. Be thankful it's not reckless and that you have the money to pay it off.

I wish my mom had been that nice about mine (and I wasn't going that fast). But she was pretty angry. Boo.

As for Elliot, yes he is in the wrong, but I have to wonder why you seem so very upset about this. I would have been annoyed that he did not treat my wish that something be not talked about with more respect. But, the fact that you got so upset suggests to me that something else is going on here. Has he been getting on your nerves lately? Is this not the first time that he's done this? Are you not as attracted to him lately? Did he do something else that upset you?

I'm not really that upset about it. I think other things were bothering me that night, yes, but not hi. No. As far as I can tell. We'll have to talk at some point. But I think I was more upset about him shutting me off when I tried to say something about my feelings.

And when are you going backpacking??

I'm glad it took this long to get a ticket. I have a feeling if I had gotten any sooner, I would have broken into hysterics. And I was rather surprised that Mom didn't yell at me. The offer to have a glass of wine was a bit of a shock.

I'm having mood swings again. That's part of my problem. I need to go back to the doctor. Now let's just find the time. I know it's here somewhere...
