You know, I was going to tell you about all of the craptastic stuff that keeps happening to me over the last 48 hours – but it really hasn’t been that bad.
I mean, yes, I got into a car accident. My car is fucked right now because some lady ran a red light and then proceeded to lie her ass off. But – I have the same insurance company as the other lying ass driver, so everything went smoothly and I had a rental car by the next morning. No deductable, the car will get fixed. Whatever.
And, yes, I spent most of yesterday morning fighting with my home network and internet connection because it has some strange problem that “hm, shouldn’t be happening” – according to all of the customer and technical support people I’ve talked to.
And I slammed my finger in the car door yesterday and rolled over my toe this morning and blah blah blah.
But? Hilly is here – and that is beyond awesome. My brother and his girlfriend showed up at my house last night (surprise! We drove three days to come see you!) – and even that was awesome. I’m hungover as hell this morning, but that’s just because we had way more fun than an old chic should have on a work night last night. I’ll recover.
So, you know what? Nevermind what I was going to say.
Shit’s happened. But that’s life.
I Love Hilly
and Hilly loves me
Look! We have matching mustaches!
and matching crazies, too!
And life? Is good.
life truly is good. i’m happy for you, concentrating on the positive!!
muah!
@hello haha narf, how can you not? AWESOME LIKE A POSSUM! LOL
p.s. happy birthday, jay!
Adam said it was an Indian lady that hit you. Is that true? I lost a lot of sleep over that last night.
@Faiqa, I have no idea if she was Indian. She wouldn’t talk to me once I stopped asking if she was OK and started asking for things like her name and the name of her insurance company.
I think she was middle eastern – but I suck at even getting THAT part right. LOL
@Miss Britt — By “Middle Eastern” I’m assuming you mean she’s from the Daytona Beach – Vero Beach Corridor?
@shiny, nope, Middle Eastern is Ontario (Canada) or Ohio, for for that matter, Iowa ;o)
So, was she Canadian? Stupid Canuck.
@shiny, Actually, the very middle of North America is a little place in North Dakota. So, she musta been from ND, which is the same as being Canadian ;o(
Doncha get tired of hearing from those who have a wealth of absolutely useless knowledge or information? Damn know-it-all!
@Momma,
Canuck here…
@mare,
Me too,,,,
Moi aussi
@Faiqa, PS – why would you lose sleep over that?
Although *I* lost sleep over the idea of her BAD KARMA! arghhh
@Miss Britt, I was being ironic. Or is it sarcastic? Or sardonic? She’s a bad, bad person whoever she is. If she’s Middle Eastern I’ll make sure to ask God to give her bad karma in Arabic. It’s far more effective that way. Kidding.
Aww, poor Mustang. (Although I thought you had a newer green one for some reason…)
I’m glad that you are, for the most part, okay and consoled by friends and family and a healthy dose of the crazies.
@steen, NOPE – plain ol’ old red one.
YAY for the positive and silly tipsy snuggles.
@LizHill, tipsy is probably the understatement of 2009. LOL
Nice to have good luck with an insurance company which represents you both — and seems to be taking your side. Either because logically there was no way you could have instigated the accident or because they’re simply frightened of you.
And yay for visitors! And rampant drunkenness!
@shiny, because I AM CLEARLY RIGHT!! Heh.
@Miss Britt, I’ll assume so. Although using your title to declare my religious identity as “bad?” Not cool…
@shiny, you’re a ju??? I thought you were a jew!
Man, the things you learn…
Glad to hear life is good.
However I am deeply offended that you referred to the display of tongue as a “crazie”.
You will be hearing from my attorney regarding your insensitive labeling of having a psychotic condition.
/crazy
@NYCWD, I refered to OUR tongues as a sign of the crazies. Which is different.
Love your focus on the positive! And love your car . . . ahem . . . before the incident. Hope it gets back to normal soon!
@Elaine at Lipstickdaily, well, judging from LAST YEAR when this happened – I’d say it will be about two weeks.
Have a great weekend – looks like a great one is guaranteed!!!
@Sybil Law, yep!
So THAT’S how you turn lemons into lemonade.
Wait… grabbing my notepad to take notes.
@AmyD, recipe for turning lemon into lemonade:
Add Vodka.
Thank you for passing your craptastic day down to me. Are Hilly and your brother (and his girlfriend) coming to visit ME later? Maybe it’s their fault…
Hi Hilly!!!!
@Finn, that or you did something really, really bad…
Many years ago I was getting some psychotherapy in the aftermath of my divorce. I was grasping at straws, trying to find some way of assuaging the pain. I said to the therapist, trying to be philosophical about it all, “It’s like the bumper sticker that says ‘Shit Happens.’ He came right back with the comment that yes, that’s true. But it’s also true that good things happen.
I’m glad that you are able to acknowledge and accept the bad things that happen but choose to keep your main attention on the good things. I wish I could be more like you in that regard.
I’m glad no one was hurt.
Don
@Don, well, only when the bad things are temporary. LOL
Ahhhhhhhhhh
@Britt’s Mom, I don’t know what that means…
Stupid lady, stupid car door, stupid toe-thing, stupid stupid stupid. LOL
But, yay for friends & surprise visit from family!
And free food from Olive Garden!
@Melanie (Modern Mami), YAY FREE FOOD!
Holy crap! How fast was she going when she hit you? I mean, I got clipped by someone running a red light at 80km/h (50mph) and they didn’t take my bumper off!
@SciFi Dad, *shrugs* I don’t know. But it sure FELT fast!
Sorry about the wheels, that sucks. Glad you got some cool company though to take your mind off it!
@Hockeyman, me too.
And thanks!
Sometimes, when life hands you a shit-ton of lemons? She feels sorry for you and dumps some lemonade on your head.
So very glad there are positives amongst the negatives.
@Coal Miner’s Granddaughter, balance and all that, right?
Way to find the positives in life! Glad you are ok!
@themuttprincess, well, in this case they kind of found me. Although it sounds so much more ZEN the way you say it!
It definitely could have been a lot worse. Although, isn’t your neck sore? Don’t you want to sue for millions?
@Avitable, no.
I’m honestly surprised that you’ve kept your cool and just shrugged your shoulders. I’ve seen people fall apart over much less but you just keep on going.
Wow, how’d I bag a friend like you?
Pretty classic that they came in unannounced yesterday given your post from yesterday! hahaha!
I’m glad you are ok and that the accident wasn’t worse than it was.
Also? You shouldn’t be having any more bad luck. I think I stole it. After bumping into my friends parked car in a parking lot, then slicing my hand with a box cutter at work. Yeah I think it officially moved on.
My heart hurts for your car.
I’m thisclose to stealing Hilly from you.
Wow, what a week…but how awesome how quickly it can turn around with some good company! WOOT!
Okay, after all that, what I really want to know is, HOW did you roll over your toe???
That sucks about your car. I hope it can be repaired soon.
