Topical Thursday: Does Speeding Actually Save You Time?!

Hang in there you have one more day till it's Friday! But to speed things up I thought I would throw some trivia your way.  As you already know I had recieved a huge speeding ticket and well I had the option to take a drivers improvement class. The benefit was that the insurance company never found out about the ticket and it was like it never happened. I actually found it very beneficial and there is one specific piece of information that I wanted to share with you.  Did you know that if you are going 75 in a 55 mile lane, the end result is you save about 3-5 min.  I always thought that by greatly exceeding the speed limit I would save anywhere between 30- 45 min. On the contrary the only thing I am saving is about 5 min. and wasting a lot more gas. now that I know that speeding really doesn't save me any time-I find it ridiculous.  The only thing that you could gain is an accident and well in my case a huge ticket. In the end those 5 minutes aren't worth $163.00. So lately me and the cruise control button have become best friends and well I am staying away from tickets and saving a little more gas:)  I hope this information is as beneficial to you as it was to me- until tomorrow

The Closing of the Weekend :(

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I'm sry I didn't keep up my blog- when I'm home I don't get on the computer much :)  I had a great weekend. I was able to celebrate Colin's tenth birthday with him!!!!  Will, Ethan, Colin and I carved Pumpkins...very enjoyable. Ethan and I watched the movie "Year One" - I don't kow exactly what to think of the movie, it was stupid yet funny. However, itreally made fun of the Bible, and that aspect I did not care for:( 
          Saturday I had my S.T.O.P Class- I found it to be educational...I know I am a nerd, but I didn't take Drivers ED.  That night I got to see all the kids dress up for halloween, and help Dad hand out candy:) I dressed up as a husker football player, and Will was a farmboy! Later that night Will and I watched "The Legend of Sleepy Hallow starring Johnny Depp."  This brings my weekend to a close. Today we had our area reformation service and then it was errands, football, and back to school:(  I will see you tomorrow for the beginning of another week!
