Driving School 101

I took an Arizona Defensive Driving course this past Saturday to remove a speeding ticket from my record. Here are a few things I took away from the 4 1/2 hour class.

1. Driving with Flip Flops on your feet is illegal.

2. Driving bare feet is also illegal.

3. Some 18 year old boys that come to the class at 7:30am don't shower- phew!

4. Drinking & driving with a child in the car is a criminal offense and means the difference of jail time vs prison time.

5. You can be charged with a DUI for sleeping in your car while parked in a parking lot. The reason being that the keys are easily accessible.

6. Previously, the class was 8 1/2 hours long and has been shortened to 4 1/2 (I personally think it could be shortened to 2 hours but I don't think my opinion counts- ha!)

7. There was an 18 year old that has had four speeding tickets and a 70 year old that has never had a ticket until now.

8. Someone in the class didn't understand why hands free devices were acceptable. The instructor explained that it's really no different than talking to passengers in the car- duh!

9. The instructor really knew his stuff and made the class interesting despite having to be there on a Saturday morning. However, he was a little overly excited and I wondered if he annoyed his family with talk of the rights and wrongs of driving.

10. The aggressive driving portion of the class hit a little close to home and it was suggested that help may be needed to control those aggressive feelings. Hmmm...I'm sure the LOML just might encourage this assessment.

Tomorrow I get to go visit our Superior Court. Yep, lucky me. Jury Duty.

12 of 12 (3): April 2008

Happy April everyone! It's spring time here in Arizona and the weather is so perfect. Unfortunately, the LOML had to work today so he was stuck in the office for a portion of the day but I got to spend some time with excersizing, having breakfast with my Grandma Lucy and hanging out with my mom and nephew Brycen. Here's 12 pics from day. This fun concept goes to Chad Darnell, click here to find out more and get busy participating!

7:00am - On my walk to Grandma's house for breakfast of eggs, red chile and bacon. It was very yummy (sorry no pic of the fabu breakfast that G-Lucy made)!

7:05am - The sprinklers were on and the sunlight hit it just right that I got a pic of this pretty rainbow. It was such a beautiful morning!

7:10am - This is the new housing developement that just went up in the neighborhood. They are very cute homes, very close to one another and very different from what we normally have in Arizona.

7:15am - The bougainvillea flowers are all in bloom here. They are so beautiful and seen anywhere you go around town.

10:30am - Mom and Brycen picked me up and we headed to the Dinosaur exhibit at the AZ Science Museum. This is a pic of mom with a few pieces of hair sticking straight up in the sun roof. Brycen thought this was very funny of his crazy Grandma!

11:00am - Chase field home of the AZ Diamondbacks. We are in downtown Phoenix making our way to the AZ Science Museum.

11:05am - Super scary dino peeking over the wall of the AZ Science Museum. Brycen was super excited to see this since it was our destination.

11:15am - Brycen took this picture and if I do say so he did a pretty fab job! This was at the entrance where you purchased your tickets.

11:30am - A nice guy at the museum took this pic of us with a dino behind us.

11:35am - Mom and Brycen excavating a dinosaur.

12:00pm - The most fascinating thing for Brycen at the AZ Science Museum was the rock exhibit. He's excited about learning more about rocks and had tons of questions which unfortunately Grandma Debbie and me are no experts.

2:00pm - Pool time...it was very refreshing and Brycen had fun trying to soak grandma and me.
