Self sighting

One of the posts on Cursing out Coworkers jumped into my mind when I did something today. I am writing this in hopes that admitting it will ensure i never do it again. Feel free to chide me but be gentle please.

Dear self,

I am proud of you for not texting and driving. Yes, you used to do it red lights but you haven't even done that in...years. I am proud of you for using hands free even before you realized you would need it to stave off the certain brain cancer you will get from attaching your cell phone firmly to your head for the past 10 years or so. But seriously, maybe we could stop talking quite so much? We are the posterchild for technology-induced ADD. But I digress.

It is really stupid to take all those safety precautions and then plug your cell phone into the charger while driving 60 mph. Why did we do that? Also while we are at it, please get up one half hour earlier so we can stop putting on a full face of makeup while driving too. In addition, writing checks, putting Splenda in your coffee and listening to Lady Gaga while driving are all banned as too distracting. Well, that last one because...no.

Sincerely,

Me

Heh, can I add to this?

Dear me,

Please stop fiddling with the radio/AC while driving on the curvy, narrow part of the highway. It's freaking the rest of me out when I realize what I'm doing.

Love,
Me.

Ha! I've done all that, except for, uh, writing checks. o_O

Dear me,

Please for the love of god, stop trying to do anything with your phone while driving.

Dear Me,

You don't really need to get your phone out of your pocket to use Shazam on the song on the radio while driving. All your favorite radio stations post their playlists online, AND you'll hear the song again anyways. Just stop it.

Sincerely,
Me

I'm always prepared when driving. I always tuck my lighter in between my legs and always have my ciggs in the cupholder so there's no reaching for them. EXCEPT when leaving my parents' house, but when I am in the neighbor's driveway about to backup into a Y turn, I dig real quick for them.

I keep my phone tucked under my leg and pick it up to check the time to make sure I'm not running late to work.

I have texted at red lights before, notoriously long ones during this awful road construction. Sometimes I swear those sensors don't work and I end up sitting. And sitting.

Dear me,

Please learn to drive so I can write reminders about not doing all that stuff

I keep my phone under my leg too. I usually have music going so I never hear it ring and I don't have to dig for it that way. See, I'm um , very safety conscious.

I usually keep my phone in the cupholder for easy reach.

I used to do that too...until theday (night, which explains it) that I dropped my shiny new Motorola flip phone in an open takeout cup of water. Yes, it was 2005. But man, that was upsetting.

Dear me,
Stop looking at porn while driving.
