Music to Drive By ( I mean listen to while driving; .... not the other thing....)

I got a really nice surprise. My DH walked in last night with a cold coke ( ahhh) and a new cd - reminding me that I had a nice cd player to listen to while driving. It was the new Rascal Flatts CD - Still Feels Good.

We got a chance to see them a few years ago at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo when they were starting out -they put on a great show and I have been a fan ever since. We happened to be sitting next to some of the kids from their fan club and got to hear a few stories about how nice they were. This is one of the songs off of it - enjoy! I will be listening to it in about 15 min when I jump back in the car.

Better Communication through Technology! ??!??

Search
"driving" and "think" and you will find references to articles listing 75% of adults think texting should be illegal while driving while 56% admit to using texting while driving" or "_% of adults think that the drunk driving laws need to be tougher" What you dont expect to see is a webpage for a little gizmo called the Driving LED Emoticon Humm. There are enough blond stands in my auburn hair to allow a litttle ditzyness when driving, but really; I can see this is a terrible idea.

The copy says "better communication thru technology",and the paragraph detailing the device starts with "When you're driving your car there are times when a single finger gesture can perfectly express your sentiments to a fellow vehicle operator. Although this is a relatively efficient form of non-verbal communication, we would like to present a device that brings some technology to the table"
This is brought to you by web retalier known as Think Geek: Stuff for the Smart Masses. In lieu of commenting on the previous sentance, I instead will provide the following. I just included the
AAA Texas Road Rage — How to Avoid Aggressive Driving
When the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety studied more than 10,000 incidents of violent aggressive driving committed between 1990 and 1996, it found that at least 218 people were killed and another 12,610 injured when drivers got angry.
How can you avoid being the victim of an aggressive driver? While there are no sure techniques, three basic guiding principles can help:
Don't Offend

Cutting Off

Driving slowly in the left lane.
Tailgating

Gestures

Don't Engage

Steer Clear

Avoid Eye Contect

Get Help

Adjust your Atttitude

Forget Winning

Put Yourself in the Other Drivers Shoes

If you think you have a problem ask for help

Jonas Brothers S.o.s. Lyrics

cats....are crazy; but kittens are psycho

was in the car.... again. Went to pick up dd from work at the kennel. it was getting cold and dark. she ran to the car with something in her arms.... a spare passenger..... a kitten. um yea.

the traffic on the road had scared it and it was cold and hungry. so we brought it home & put it in a crate with some food/water and a disposable aluminum pan as a littler box. posted it on freecycle to find a new home for it as there are not any residences close by.

this thing is a trip, lol. the dog got to come in last night as it was suppose to get to 32 degrees. he is doing his best to ignore the kitten, however since she is a psycho kitty, it is a little hard. the kitten who would fuzz up and FFFZTTT! at the dog from 5 ft away has now morphed into kitty kamikazi warrior mode and thinks she is going to pounce on the dog and conquor it. poor dog, he just turns his head slowly.

They Did it Again!

Whoop! Another mom just called me from the car.... on the way back from our h.s. football team playoff game. Score was 66-21. We're going to state - Baby!

Now that is a road trip I wouldn't mind. We play Pflugerville in the State playoffs next weekend.

The Moose steals Christmas.......

is over. DS -the big bad wolf made an appearance and it went ok...... being add/adhd he had to add a little impromptu dancing on the state, but we made it thru ok. The pastor emailed the pics to us in adobe or I would post some with the blog. The highlight was 3 of the elder men at the church dressed as tooth fairy's in pink tights, shorts and assorted glitter and boas.... complete with cowboy boots. Oh yea, they are as great as you imagine.
The gist was that the Moose, Marty who makes an appearance every Sunday morning in a skit for the kids ( and the adults) steals all of the holidays and assorted characters from literature and fairy tales. There was a dancing chicken, the wicked witch and Dorothy, Goldilocks and the three bears, Darth Vader ( my older ds none the less) a 6' 4 leprechaun, and a group of singing cows , two angels and Joseph, Mary & Jesus. The characters were all freed as Jesus died on the cross to save all of us from our sins.
