Weird

This is one of the strangest movies I have ever watched! I think my mom got this DVD in a cereal box. I brought it home a few Christmas's ago, but haven't watched it until tonight!

It was very much an 80's movie! If anyone want to borrow it...feel free to talk to me!

Luckiest

I went to go renew my parking sticker at BYU this week (since it expires tomorrow!) I knew that I need to bring in my registration. So I went to take it out of my glove box and noticed that the date was expired on the piece of paper. I thought, maybe this is the wrong paper...but after checking the tags on my car, I realized that my registration was indeed expired. It expired in JULY!!!

I went that afternoon to re-register my car and wasn't charged a fine for letting it expire so that made me happy. Because I was sure that they were going to charge me something.

I am just so lucky that I haven't been pulled over in the past 3 months! I guess I didn't get the renewal letter in the mail, since I moved since it would have been sent to me.

I am so thankful that I was able to get it fixed and that I was blessed to not have been pulled over and fined. I much rather learn the lesson by panicking after finding out that it was expired rather than paying a huge fine!

100 Things about Ann-Marie on her 100th Post!

1. I went on my first plane ride at age 12 and I flew alone.

8. I am starting to get over my hate for red and now have red curtains in my house.
9. I guess that I just don't like to wear red or pink. I see other redheads wearing pink and I don't think that they look bad, I just think that I look weird wearing pink.
10. Often when I say my name over the phone people think that my name is Emory. They also think that is a pretty name.
