Happy Birthday Barbie!

The world's favorite plastic princess turns 51 years old today.

Still suffering from sinus issues, coughing up a storm. Had weird dreams all night about WOW's Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza hosting a Queen Latifa memorial fishing tournament and of course, I had to fish it. *rolls eyes* Don't remember if I won it or not or even if I caught anything.

Had to run an errand yesterday. Since we still cannot directly access I-95N, I had to take a detour to a new on-ramp which does does not merge with I-95N but dumps you directly onto it. Of course, a huge pick-up truck (still had new stickers on window) with a Harley in the bed (had tags flying from handlebars, so most likely brand new as well) came flying up behind me and ran me off the road onto the little (not full sized) emergency lane. I'm sure if I had gotten a good look at the driver I would have seen s/he was talking on the cell phone.

I mean, come on now. I don't have a cloaking device, I was driving the speed limit, there was more than enough room for him/her to move to the center lane - there was no reason at all for them to just shove me aside like that. That whole set-up, of truck & bike, cost more than my car - most likely more than my house. Does that give them the right to drive like they are? Hell no, but they don't care - they own the road. *sigh*
