Well, about 4 hours later, here I am… just got home. I took down my other post, I just posted it in case I had to spend all weekend there, so you would all know where I am :-) In case you didn’t read it, this morning I got myself arrested. For what you ask? Ah, well there’s the fun part… I bounced a check a few years ago and totally forgot about. Turns out someone had put out a warrant out for my arrest and they decided that on a beginning of a holiday weekend they were going to come and get me.

So, I got in the back of the squad car, which by the way is VERY small, and took my trip “downtown”…. and in this case it is literal, the jail is all the way downtown. A few “stand here, sit here, thumbprint here” and I was put into an equally small cell – with 2 other women that can only be described as ‘different’ from me, lol. Both heavily tattooed, both brought in on assault charges, and both scary as hell. So, the lone white girl (me!) sat there on a tiny bench in a tiny room that was no bigger than a half bathroom discussing how I came here on a bounced check.

Then the fun really began…

Turns out Joy, the 38 year old mother of 7 grown children and 6 grandbabies as she put it, got her “monthly friend” so she went on and on and ON about how they wouldn’t give her a pad to wear. Um, yeah, I think I noticed that when she stood up and I looked at her too tight shorts up to “here” with her tiny tank top. Apparently she never got to put on anything and it showed :-) The other one who had been there since 5am didn’t have any water to drink… .so to say they were a little pissed off was an understatement. I just kept my mouth shut and tried to look as mean as I could, lol.

Then it was lunchtime (at 11am mind you) and I was served the wonderful macaroni and beef, corn bread left over from 1982 and a carton of milk that expired last week. Fun times…

Finally Mike came and bonded me out at a whopping $453 and 3 hours after I started the processing I was out.

Now, I’m going to take some highly needed pills to knock me out and I’m going to take a much needed nap to get this adrenaline rush out of my system.
