Lifestyles of the Highway Patrol

And for the rest of the story!!!!




Me:"Highway Patrol"

Unidentified Caller: "Yes, on I44 at mm 92-93 there is a porcupine trapped. He is up against the concrete barrior and he cant get around."

Stunned Me: "Trapped? What do you mean trapped?"

Completely serious as a heart attack Unidentified Caller:"He is trapped up against the concrete center wall near the bridge and he can't cross the road because there is too much traffic. Someone needs to shut down the highway so he can cross."

Hysterically laughing inside Me: "Okay, I will send a unit right out there!"

Unidentified for a reason caller: "Thank you so much, I would just hate for it to get run over and killed! I'm not a peta person or anything but this is just cruel."

All powerful animal loving -Like I can shut a major artery of a highway down for a small animal to cross the road and not believing this caller called the emergency line for this-ME: "No, problem."

Mischievously rubbing my hands together and contemplating just the perfect trooper to give this ridiculous call to and choosing the one who would have the most fun with it, I dispatched it.

Me: "Y399, have a report of a PORCUPINE at mm 93-94 that is "trapped" against the center wall and is needing help crossing the road."

Not even trying to conceal his laughter Y399: "OK, I am on my way"

20 minutes later, the radio comes to life

As serious as he could be Y399: "Headquarters, our little buddy isn't here any longer. Apparently he made it across the road without a crossing guard today, I'm back in service."

I LAUGHED SOOOOO HARD!


Oh the Lifestyles of the highway patrol!

Gosh, I love my job sometimes!



Update on the porcupine reported as a hedgehog the next day:

Mr. Hedgehog/Porcupine met his demise the next day near the center wall at mm 94 southbound side.... where are the crossing guards when you need them???


Gosh I hate my job sometimes!

Obagi Update Day 27 and Day 39

Since I am behind, I will post Day 27 and Day 39 on my Obagi transformation.

Still not sure about the so called "transformation" but I am starting to feel a small change. My skin is becoming somewhat firmer and I am peeling/flaking. My forehead seems to have had the most change so far (including more breakouts). I still don't know if I would/could recommend this system yet. The time frame is WAY off from what I was told in the beginning.

Promotional Ceremony Pictures as promised!

Dad and I waiting for it to start.... Figures I would have major hair issues on a big day!



Being sworn in by the Commissioner of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.



Having my stripes pinned on by the Chief of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and my Daddy!


Speech, Speech!! " I would like to thank my parents for supporting me throughout my career with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Without them, I wouldn't be standing here today (DUH, I cant believe I said that...lol) ahem. I would especially like to thank my Dad, he has been my strength. That's all...."

How lame of a speech was that? I had NO warning that I would even have to say anything at all...

Be Still

So, I go shopping at Hobby Lobby the other day to finish up the decorations for my parents 40th wedding anniversay and what do I find? Vinyl Wall Lettering! What else do I find? My favorite Bible verse in the Vinyl Wall Lettering! And to top it all off? It was on sale for 50%off! Needless to say, it is now on my wall in my bedroom! I "heart" it!

Name Change

Blog name has changed from Stone by Stone to Beautiful Disaster!
