I'm only sharing this because I'm totally embarrased and can't get it out of my head.

So today Sean was headed over to an early morning meeting in Tustin, so he handed over the keys and said take her to work. I loaded up the vehicle with my work junk and proceded to make my way to work. I exit my track of homes and was sitting in El Dorado High School Traffic. I hit my first light and got stuck behind a BMW and was blocked in by a Fat Lexus trying to get around someone else but in the mean time he was coming into may lane. So I proceded to zip around the BMW to avoid the Lexus and headed down Valencia. I then get to my second light which was green and at this time. I had the windows down and am jam'n to some tunes, and in the back round I hear the crossing guard, an old man of course, scream "slow down." I was going the speed limit, ok maybe 5 over but lordy lordy, my morning was starting out stellar.

I get to my 3rd light, I'm doing ok at this point, but still pissed at the guard, by the 4th light it's a flashing red. The light was out. I made a COMPLETE stop, and notice in the corner of my eye that "bacon" was to my right monitoring the signal. Boy am I glad that made that complete stop....Sean says that I have a tendancy to California stop...I'm not disagreeing either. So I gently eased out of that signal so as to not draw any attention to myself.

In the mean time I am looking in my rear view mirror to see if the BMW that I zipped around was any where near catching up. Long behold I get to my 4th light and here the 325 comes. I'm sitting at the light, which is a little bit of an incline (I haven't perfected the stick and inclines yet) so while my brain in thinking about the car behind me hoping that he doesn't remember that I just zipped around him, the light turns green, and I stall. Yes ladies and gents, I made a complete A$$ of myself. Not only did I play too cool in the cobra, but I just totally embarrased myself by stalling infront of the BMW I stipped around.

I yi yi, Alexis, you'll never learn will you?

So needless to say, I drove the rest of the way to work, with my windows up, and looking the other direction whenever the BMW would pass. This is when tinted windows would come in reeeeeal handy.
