pulled over

last night my sister danielle got back into the states from her 6-week jaunt around south america. she flew into salt lake around 11:30 pm and had a layover until 6:00 am this morning. she didn't want to leave and go to somebody's house for the night so i offered to take her to "breakfast" when she landed. after picking her up we drove all around the greater salt lake area looking for a restaurant {like IHOP, or village inn} that was open. after trying several places we finally found a village inn in holladay that was open. it was fun chatting with my adventurous little sis and enjoying diner breakfast food at 1:00 am. after i dropped her back off at the airport i was carefully making my way to the freeway when the red and blue lights came on. i looked at my speedometer and i wasn't speeding {for once, and i was actually under the speed limit thank you very much}. i was just really tired and drained and wanted to be in bed {i don't think i've been up past 1 am since i've been married} when the officer got to my window he told me he had pulled me over for a cracked windshield, cracked tail light cover, and expired registration. BUT I WASN'T SPEEDING! he asked me if the car was mine and i told him i had just gotten it as a wedding gift from my parents and that we were getting it registered this weekend {actually next weekend but oh well}. he ended up letting me off with a reminder that i needed to get the repairs done. whew!
