At the insistance of my friend Laureen, I am going to delight you with a peppy anecdote of my day. This is also in keeping with my once-a-month posting trend, which one day I'm sure will become more frequent....maybe ;)
So, randomly I saw Laureen and Rosa (friends and neighbors) as I was dropping off library books and I ended up giving Rosa a ride to work and Laureen came with me for my last errand to Chase to pay a bill and then on to work. Well as I was turning in the parking lot of Chase, I reached through my steering wheel to grab the bill (which I had previously placed on the dashboard in front of my speedometer) so I could be all prepared when I got to the drive-up window. However, despite my efforts to think ahead and have my bill ready, I didn't think far enough ahead to realize that I was in the middle of a turn and by putting my arm through the small section of the steering wheel, I ended up yanking my arm with the wheel!!! There is no way to fully describe this, but basically the wheel took my arm for a trip, which caused me to lose control (momentarily) of the car so I had to slam on the brakes and extract my arm so that my car would stop turning into a very solid cement building. At this point Laureen and I busted up laughing as we realized that I had just been taken hostage by an inanimate object. Moral of the story, be careful where you put your arm when you are driving... :)
