The madness that happens when I am behind the wheel.

Go ahead and click the link above.  It will set the mood for this post.

Today was a special day for my uncle.  He got a promotion.  I THINK he is now a Lieutenant Colonel.  I say I think because I really have no idea.  Here is what I do know... My aunt got to sock him in the arm on the stage and once upon a time I lost some points on family game night for not knowing what "Colonel" meant... It went something like this...
Taylor-WHY did you skip this card!  We could have guessed Colonel!  You should have given us clues.  We would have gotten this card and gotten points!"
Me- I have no idea what call-a-nall is so how would I have given you clues?!
Taylor (ripping the card out of my hand) YOU ARE &^%$ing STUPID.  IT SAYS Colonel (Ker-nal)!

Now in his defense he doesn't usually talk to me like that and we both knew he was saying it ummm... lovingly.  Yeah that's it.  :P

But really who is the stupid one???  Who is the idiot that made a word like that??  What ever happened to sounding words out?  I am going to start making up my own words and just expect people to know how to pronounce them.  Let's start.  Here is your word "Allison".  Oh you THOUGHT it says "Al-is-son" but really it's pronounced "Aww-some".  Anyway... that has nothing to do with my driving story.  The madness started while I was on the 215 freeway.  My kids are screaming in the back seat.  So of course, I turn on the radio.  Static... static... static...  SELENA!  Heck yes.  I start singing.  The babies start crying... I start singing LOUDER.  The babies are still screaming... and now I am starting to sweat.  But it isn't because I am getting my Jennifer Lopez/Selena action on... nope.  It's something else... and then I realize... DUN DUN DUN... my AC has blown out.  Somehow between my (horrific) singing and the babies screaming my AC has crapped out.  It is sprinkling outside but my thermometer on the car is telling me that it is over 80.  Muggy, hot rain.  Great, where am I again?  Cause I thought I lived in California.  I don't do muggy rain and I don't do words that don't make sense... to me anyway.  :)  Other than that it has been a great day!
