Drives me crazy!

Lately, the Lord has been testing my patience...with traffic/road construction.

**Hypothetically,** If you were driving down, say, I-45 (a major highway; 3 lanes wide at this point), and traffic comes to a complete stop, say, at the top of a hill and you CLEARLY see that there is a stalled car up ahead in the middle lane, WHY?! WHY would you leave the right hand lane, to gun it up ahead 8 cars, and get back into the right hand lane?!

Are you STUPID?
Are you SELFISH?!
or Both!?

**Hypothetically,** If your town has had construction on the *same* main street for over a week, and EVERYONE else in the town recognizes that the concrete in the left-hand lane is torn-up for approximately one block in the front of the city...WHY?! WHY would you ride in the left hand lane until your bumper is touching the "merge right" sign?

Are you STUPID?
Are you just SELFISH?!
OR, are you Both?!

What makes you so special that you think you DESERVE to fly ahead of everyone else and merge at the last minute? Are you just that SELFISH?

Are you unable to read the signs that say "Construction ahead" or "Left Lane closed ahead'? Are you just that STUPID? (If so, I am concerned about your ability to maintain a driver’s license, just saying.)

The city of Houston has invested alot of money into automated signs that alert you to upcoming traffic problems...You must think those signs are for everyone else? Are you STUPID?

What make you so special that you think your plans for the evening are more important than mine, or the other 239043 people on this road? Are you just that SELFISH?!

Do you not realize how irritating it is to let a big, fat JERK into the line that you have waited over 20 minutes to get through?!
Do you not think the rest of us want to get home quickly too?
Do you not think that the rest of us are irritated too?
Do you not realize that if everyone merged at appropriate times, the traffic could move at a steady pace through the construction or accident?


Just asking...because it DRIVES me BONKERS...I mean...it REALLY DRIVES ME CRAZY when people do that.

(pun intended).

(p.s. Hi Marissa, sorry you heard me rant twice today!)

The move/My family ROCKS!

I didn't take many pictures :( unfortunately...but here is what I do have:

These were my helpers - 2 parents, 2 aunts, 1 uncle, 2 cousins and me:

...in order of cell phones...
Steve - the muscles/co-packer/co-mastermind
Mom - the one who was everywhere/the kitchen organizer/the cleaner
Dad - the muscles/co-packer/co-mastermind/man with a level and stud finder
Amy - the one who packed all the boxes and decided to move downtown
James - the tall one who could reach everything/helped everywhere
Lisa - closet/clothing/shoe/jewelry organizer
Allison - the bedroom organizer/chef
(Cell Phone not pictured: Margaret - the final opinion maker "Margaret, do I really need this shirt/bowl/curling iron/etc?"/the bathroom organizer)


This was the U-Haul...No one thought it would all fit...but it did (Thanks to the engineering minds of my Dad and Uncle Steve).

It might have been a record...we started around 7:30 and were loaded and on the highway by 9:30!! At the new apartment by 10:30, and unloaded (with an elevator) by 11:30...All the boxes were unpacked and out of my apartment by dinner! Impressed?! I am not sure my family will hire-out, but I could try to get you adopted-in! haha


Lunch time fun with my cousins Lisa and James!
This is my new roommate Julie and I. We met through the Phi Lamb Alumni Association.

Want to come visit us?!

We have a cute 2 bedroom/2 bath. We're right off of the highway. I guess I should take some pictures of the apartment, but I haven't done that yet...maybe in the next post...
