This one is about me

I usually don't post just about me, but need to just this one time. I will post very soon because Alyssa started school and soccer.

Last week I got together with several girlfriends at Dream Dinners. No, this is not the reason I need to post about myself, although the thought of me making dinners is quite unusual. We all had a great time and I was able to prepare several days worth of meals for my family while I was at it. Secorra and I stuck around in the parking lot after our friends left to look at movie times. We were dying to see The Help and decided we needed to go that night to a 9:40 pm showing. We left the parking lot having decided we would go home, put our dinners in the freezer and she would pick me up to go to the movies. Gotta love having your friends live 3 minutes away. I digress, anyway, on my way home I called Sebastian to tell him about my evening and that I would be home in 10 minutes and that I was going to the movies. We both laughed about what an unusual night it was for me. First I was out at night making dinners and then I was going to the movies at 9:40 pm! I can't stay up late EVER and here I was planning to go to the movies at 9:40 pm. Anyway, I won't go into details about the events that happened on my way home, considering my probation friend Secorra thinks I may end up in court. (I didn't do anything wrong, just saw something very wrong). The point being that I did see something very wrong, called Secorra who was driving behind me and she stayed with me for 3 hours on the side of the road. Not only did she stay with me, she was my calming force, made sure our faces didn't show up on the news AND she tried to convince the officer to let me leave to use the restroom. One can only hold it for SO LONG! During the night while sitting in my car I really wanted to be able to tell her to go home and be with her family. I even told her this, but she wasn't having it! There are moments in your life when you realize who your true friends are and those that aren't. Not that I didn't know we were all really good friends, but this really solidified it. Not many people would sit for 3 HOURS on the side of the road, late at night with your family at home, in a car STARVING! We only had one small bag of smart popcorn to share. The point being, she did! I am so thankful to her for that. Not one day has passed since that evening that I haven't thought about what happened or what I saw. It truly makes me appreciate my normal, stable life and all the wonderful people in it! Secorra knows I blog, she even joked about me blogging about her nasty cut on her toe. Not blogging about your nasty toe cut, but am blogging to say THANK YOU, especially for making time in your tight Friday schedule to cry with me while watching THE HELP!
