Public Apology

That asshole talking on the phone while driving? That was me the other day and i wanted to submit a public apology. i was talking to my sister who had just had a baby and yes i am aware that i could have had that conversation another time, but at that moment i was driving from one job to another and felt like that moment was the only free moment of my day. Yes dramatic, get used to it. Anyway, i was on Front Street and in the second lane from the right when not only did a cop start flashing its lights but the light turned red. i got over as far as i could, or as far as i thought was possible with my vision slightly compromised by the hand and arm holding the cell phone securely to my ear. It probably only lasted two seconds but it felt more like two minutes when it occured to me to turn the corner onto the next street and get out of the way. So i did, WHILE STILL TALKING ON MY PHONE. i'm sure i looked like the biggest jackass so that is why i'm submitting this apology. my actions were awkward enough that from the backseat my little three year old asked if i was hiding from the police. yikes...
So i'm trying to stop talking on the phone while i'm driving. That happened three days ago and so far i am 0 for 3 of days not talking on the phone when i drive. i would say i'm sorry again but it's useless. Driving seems to be my only time when i can talk. So to the future person that i annoy, the person i may cut off, the car i may hit without realizing it i say: oops! sorry! smile sheepishly and batt the eyelashes of the bedroom eyes that my father so generously genetically bestowed on me that have saved me on numerous occassions.

Oh my goodness! I've made a blog!

I'm not sure why i chose to do this at this point. Some gross fascination with myself probably. That and i'm pretty sure I need to work on my writing skills and what better way than publishing all my blaring errors on the internet?!

A few things that this blog will contain:
1. lots of elipses... i love them!
2. a lot about my little girl. A lot.
3. some views and opinions that are probably not yours, most of them will be mine.
4. stories from my classroom. assuming i will get one some time soon...

And i don't know what else. That's what is so exciting! Or what i'm thinking will be exciting. i'm just trying to break myself of my facebook quiz habit, it's pretty bad.
