I play in a super fun bunko group . It makes it hard to muster enough self discipline to get home at a decent hour. Who really wants to leave? I never do, it is normally my ONLY night out in a month and I need it.
Last nights was at Suzanne's and she lives about 30 minutes away, so I made my self leave early. One of those great alarms I have got me up at 5am. I could not go back to sleep. I was a little tired, but I NEVER fall asleep at the wheel. Tammy and I were just talking about that before I left.I was almost home. I had gotten off the freeway, pulled up behind a cop and after a left turn ended up in the lane next to him. No worries, I was not speeding, I signaled, and I was wearing my seat belt like a good girl. I made a right turn into my neighborhood and saw flashing lights in the rear view mirror. I was not worried. I knew I had done nothing wrong. I pull over and wait for that fabulous bright light that blinds you to be turned on my face. Sure enough, he blinds me like any common criminal and heads toward my car. He asks me how I am doing. The truth is, I was tired and wanted nothing more than to be in my bed. I was thinking, "Can't we do without the pleasantries and get on with business?" He proceeds to ask me if I know why I was pulled over. I again am thinking "Dude, even if I did I would not admit it." I of coarse said "no, I was not speeding and I signaled." He asked me where I was coming from. 'Umm, bunko." He responds, "Oh, a night out with the ladies?" "Yes" I finally catch on..... he thinks I have been drinking. I had just been pulled over for Drunk Driving, ME, the girl who has never drank a day in her life. OK, I tried beer in third grade by accident and I spit it out. Does not count!!!
I promptly tell him,"I don't drink, and never have." He replies that I was hugging the line on the right hand side of the road. I said "Oh, I am really tired, so I guess I could have been." He says "goodnight" and walks away.
WHAT??? He was driving on my left, how could he tell if I was hugging the line?
Oh well, I thought it is was kind of funny. I am glad they are out there being that vigilent.

That is hilarious!!! He thought you were playing Drunko! Last night was fun, so glad I got to play and talk with ya!!
Well I am glad you made it home safely!!!! You should have taken some Caffiene for the drive home.
I am always afraid of getting pulled over for drunk driving when I'm really tired! Good thing he didn't make you get out and try and walk a straight line. I left about 11:00, but didn't get to sleep until about 12:30. I've been dragging all day! I am not a good late nighter.
NO WAY! That's CRAZY!!
:) Your photos look ADORABLE. I'm so sad that I missed your phone call. :( Next time, please!!
Where's Heidi when you need her? That is too funny!
I think he was just hitting on you :)
That's a good one! I think all us good mormon girls HAVE to get pulled over for drunk diving at least once in our lives! Mine was my senior year of HS after a date....and I was laughing so hard at the cop I am shocked he didn't arrest me! It was too funny! :)
At least it wasn't for speeding..
Were you?
I had the same thing happen to me but I was babysitting my nephew. He thought I was drunk because I swerved I told him no your spot light blinded me! He was really nice and let me go...its good known that they are out to protect us.
I'm glad he let you go. My SIL got a DUI test right in our cul-de-sac (with the neighbors peeking out of course). She wasn't drunk, hadn't been drinking at all but it was so humiliating for her and for me!
he pulled you over and then said goodnight!! seriously?? at least you didn't get a ticket!
There is nothing like that panic that sets in as you get pulled over...even if you KNOW you've done nothing wrong!
