It's Tuesday

Okay, so I went to court yesterday and as usual it was postponed. So, I already knew this was going to happen because the prosecutor called my lawyer on Friday to tell him he was asking for a continuance. I showed up and we talked to the judge about the discrepancies between the notes and she had no idea. This is the first time I've been there long enough to even see the judge. I think she was a little surprised to see that this case has been dragging on for 9 months now. She ordered a copy of the transcripts so that next month we will come back to court and get things settled. Well, that's not exactly GREAT for me because I'm SURE that the prosecution will have all his witnesses there and ready to roll in June.

Just to be clear. I got a DUI last september. It was pretty bad. I was in a blackout and I was doing 120 - the last thing I remember is playing the slot machines at the MGM. I don't remember leaving, walking to my car, driving on the highway. I came out of my blackout when I saw the lights in my rear view mirror pulling me over. I've been sober since Jan 1st of this year and I go to meetings just about everyday. Even though I'm doing really well now, I still have a lot of wreckage that I'm dealing with from those months when I was still drinking. I guess I'm just going to have to deal with the consequences of my actions on June 18th when we go back to court. I think it's very reasonable to expect that my case will not be dismissed. My intoxication level was quite high. They took a blood test and I was .20 - that's pretty bad. My lawyer says when you are a .20 or more you have to get a mandatory evaluation from the state to determine if you need extra counseling or whatever.

Anyway, over the weekend I went to the Woman's Spiritual Breakfast at the Wildhorse Country Club in Henderson. My sponsor is on the activities committee so I go to a lot of these functions. It was fun. I haven't been around THAT many women EVER. It was a little overwelming. There were two really good speakers and a very funny comedian. She's in recovery, so she did a lot of jokes about meth heads and crack heads and stoners.

These are my closest friends...



This is Autumn, Hilary and Drew...



A couple more of the girls...



Funny thing about the comedian. We flew her out here for the weekend - paid for her hotel, paid for her flight, gave her a free ticket to the breakfast on Sunday, she only did 20 minutes of comedy out of her 1 hour routine. At the end of the function, she goes up to my sponsor and asks if she can get paid. My sponsor thought she was kidding. She NEVER told them she was charging them - she wanted $500 and she only performed for 20 minutes. They had to scrape together money to pay this woman. I think that is so tacky. She should have told them up front that she was charging. And, if she charges $500 for an hour show, she should have given a discount since she only performed for 20 minutes. Oh well. I guess we won't be asking her to come to Vegas anymore.


Well, tonight is the finale of Dancing with the Stars I think. I tivo'ed it last night and I'll sit down tonight and watch it. Here's hoping Joey wins. I FORGOT to vote last night - dammit. I knew I was forgetting something all night last night I kept thinking I was forgetting something and I couldn't figure out what it was - now I remember. DAMN DAMN DAMN. I really wanted to vote for him.
