If my blog were facebook and I were a really annoying person who spoke in third person, this is what my long-winded status update would be:
Hanna got lost of her way to the park at 7am this morning, spending every last penny of her money on the toll roads (literally, she was digging under her seat for pennies), until she ran out of money and got pulled over after the 5th toll, and received 3 tickets -- one for not paying the toll, one for not having proof of insurance (Can I forward you the email?), and one for driving with an expired tag (What's a tag?) which just expired. The sheriff then gave her better directions to the park and sent her on her way with a "I hope your day gets better." It did -- she made it to the park, albeit an hour behind schedule, and completed her 14 mile run in under 2 hours, even though she forgot her water bottle. Yay.
And then I would tell the whole story again in my blog with a few more details. Thankfully, I don't have to pay the $134 ticket for the toll since it was a warning (because I was sweet as pie or the sheriff pitied my soul). Also, as soon as I got home from running, which took forty minutes, but I successfully avoided all toll roads, I mailed in proof of insurance and paid the other two fines. I needed that kick in the ass, I suppose. An insurance card is now *in my car* and I am going to get a new Florida license plate next week. PLATE, as in singular. Florida only has one plate, in the back. It looks like all the cars are topless.
Times like these I admonish myself for being so irresponsible, and then I go running and talk to myself in my head getting all in a tizzy until I can't run or think anymore.
Good thing I'll be rolling in it soon with my part time job, considering my $124 lesson....
Living and learning and paying big bucks,
Hanna
