There's a first for everything right????

Yesterday was my first time being pulled over by a policeman LOL Yes, you may not believe it, but it's true.

Come on in and sit down, I just ground a bunch of coffee and started my coffee pot....Today we're having "Foglifter"....I think it was invented for ME. Really!!! Most mornings I wake up and drag myself downstairs and everything is a FOG, hence the "Foglifter". LOL
See how I try to make myself seem important somehow, I'm even using coffee as an excuse :)

So anyway, back to my story. I went to get groceries and then on the way home, since it was lunch time, I decided to stop by Burger King for some burgers. I felt all proud of myself for thinking of doing that for the hubby and kids since they weren't expecting it, like a nice surprise for them.

Anyway, I'm driving down the street and I see a cop car behind me. I get to the stop street, turn left and he turns left with me, and at this point my mind is still going "OH, he must be going the same way I am". ( Oh Lord, PLEASE let it be that).
I then turn into the Burger King Drive-Thru and he turns with me and at this point my mind is still denying it "Oh look at that, he's going to grab some lunch too".
"Why is he turning on his lights?"......."Oh crud he's actually pulling me over, and RIGHT at the drive-thru, no fair, I'm hungry".
One of the great things of living on base is that there isn't much traffic around, so now it was me, stopped right by the order thingymajig, the cop behind me with his lights flashing and another cop car behind him with HIS lights flashing. WHAT THE?!?!?!?

He comes on over, and I'm ashamed to admit that my first thought was "Oh man, I hope I look ok" (Sandra you just got pulled over by the cop and you're worried about looking ok?)
So anyway, long story short.....my hubby installed a new radio system for me, and he was having problems running the cable down the right side to the back where the speakers were. Apparently he must have knocked something out, because my brake lights on the right side aren't working. I didn't get a ticket, I did however get a sort of ticket telling me to fix the problem within 72 hours.....AND he apologized for interrupting my lunch LOL
So there you have it, my first time being pulled over, at least I'm happy that it wasn't something I did while driving.

Last night I made Beef Curry. It wasn't the first time I've made it, but I don't do it very often because the kids don't like spicy food and my hubby always said how he loves it but that it's way too hot. I'm just used to eating it real spicy, back home you sniff through the Curry and have tears running down your face by the time you're done, although the tears could be of happiness because it's so good. I don't know!!!
However, we eat our curry with an assortment of toppings. You will always see sliced bananas, coconut and sliced green peppers. It may sound weird to some, but I kid you not, it's DELISCIOUS. I have NEVER seen my hubby and kids devour their curry and go back for seconds and thirds. I was shocked and I was also told by hubby that "from now on, THIS is how I want my curry". SIR YES SIR!!! LOL

I have to apologize for not visiting my usual blogs yesterday. After I posted my entry I went to get groceries etc. When I came back home and tried to get on the computer to read the blogs, my computer gave me the "Blue Screen of Death". You know the one right?
You're all happy smiling and looking forward to spending time with your computer and BAM!!!
Blue Screen, weird mumbo jumbo about wrong codes and missing files and whatever. I just wanted to cry, I think I did STOMP my feet like a toddler, but all that got me was a weird look from hubby!!!

I couldn't get back on the computer for the rest of the day, but my hubby being the sweetheart that he is, stayed up until 2am fixing my computer, and I'm proud to say that he DID. It's working again, so thank you honey :)

While the computer was not working, we went out to the BX. For a long time you've heard me complain about my carpets and having to track down the carpet cleaners from the Self Help on base. So yesterday my hubby and I saw a steam cleaner which we've been wanting to get for a while, and he said "today is the day, let's get it". We did and OH BOY does it work!!!

It's a Hoover Steam Vac Deep Cleaner, and we got it for $140 which is not bad at all. We came home, hubby put it together and then he cleaned the living room carpets. I think we actually fought about who got to try it out first, I really wanted to, but he's bigger than I am and I didn't want to mess with him. LOL I'm just kidding!!! I was fixing dinner so he got to play with it. My carpets look WONDERFUL. I'm serious, (I don't like endorsing products BUT) if you're looking for a good steam cleaner, this is the one to get. *end the endorsement bit*

I think this entry is turning into a long story book, so it's time to end it. Sadly, but I'm going to do it. I really do hope you're all having a wonderful long weekend and enjoying your Fourth of July. The smell of barbecues permeates the air around here, and there's nothing better than that is there?

I will be here tomorrow, bright and early (Nicholas wouldn't have it any other way). Again I promise to bring the coffee if you all will come on over for a cup :)
Have a beautiful blessed day,
