Sad Day :(

Tuesday, I got in my first car accident....

It was a sad day, but no one got hurt – which is always a good thing!! I was stopped at a stop light, right behind a pink Mary Kay Escalade (I wish I was kidding, but I’m not!), and the pinkness of her car inspired me to check out my nails and wonder if Mary Kay had any cuticle crème that could fix my poor little cuticles. Anyway…. I saw the cars in the left turn lane start moving, and I could have sworn that I saw Pink Escalade move, and so I let my foot off the brake, and CRASH!!! I seriously rolled into the back of her car, and that’s what happened! I guess she had started moving too because she thought our light was green, and then realized it was red and put her brakes back on.

The irony of the whole situation… I was on my way to the car shop to get my car checked out, and then bam… crash….

[so sad to say goodbye to my car as they towed it away....]

Oh, and the name of the officer that wrote up the ticket and accident… Officer Prettyman. Not joking at all. That part seriously made my day!!! The poor guy though – he’s probably been made fun of his entire life!

my tree is pretty sparse for decorations, but i don't think i'm willing to go this far!
