Cute Abby and Worst Journey!
It's hard to use your laptop when your cat is doing this lol:
So cute! She was on my lap for a long time on Saturday, and eventually had to put her on mom's lap because I was overheating haha
I also found an edition of Worst Journey I hadn't had yet!
My 8th copy! (I'm not sure where one of my copies is though, someone must have borrowed it.) I hadn't found a "new" copy in years, so that was exciting. Denise hadn't texted me though because she thought I already had that edition, and I was like "the ONE time you don't text me..." haha. I also didn't expect this picture to look so epic..curtains make everything better!
Yesterday mom had someone driving behind her acting weird..mom kept speeding up, and the other car did the same. Mom had to let her pass her, because it was annoying her. We could see she was driving erratically, especially when turning, and mom said "something is wrong." Mom stayed back until she could overtake the other car (the lady did have a dazed look on her face), and at that moment, a police car came out of nowhere with its lights on. We were like "are they pulling her over?? How did they know?" The police car then went around that car and got behind mom..she was like "wait, I'M getting pulled over?!?" The police officer told her how fast she had been going, and mom told her about the situation with the other car. The officer gave her a warning and said "next time, pull over and call the police, don't break the law to avoid someone else breaking the law!" Fair enough LOL. That's the first time mom has been pulled over in the 17 years she's lived in Alaska though. I do hope that other lady was alright, and didn't hurt anyone..
10. When Have You Ever Succeeded When You Thought You Might Fail? In Texas you had to pass the TAKS test to graduate high school, and it took me three times to pass the math portion (barely, but still lol). I almost cried when they told me I passed haha
11. How Productive and Organized Are You? I use all my productivity and organization up at work, and don't really have much energy to do it at home lol. I could even be more organized at work, but I only have so much energy! It is nice being productive and getting a lot done though!
12. How Do You Deal With Boredom? If I can't do anything else, sit there stoically haha..I've learned a lot of patience from working at the register. :P Otherwise, maybe watch something on YouTube or play a hidden cat game lol
