I was rear-ended on the way home. No, not badly. My brand new car has scratches on it. I doubt it's enough damage to even fix. But gah, can this stop now, please?
It's kind of funny, because when it happened, I was almost totally not surprised. Like, "Oh, of course this is what happens." I mean, the guy was nice and all, and I took his name and number but doubt it's even worth trying to do anything about it. Cars get scratched all the time... but it's my NEW CAR!!! (My first and probably last ever NEW car.)
Naw, it wasn't at all like that. I was completely stopped (had rolled forward a little) and dude behind me must have thought I went and he went forward... right into me. He couldn't have been going more than 5-7mph. It was like a bumper-car feeling.
Yeah, kind of. But I came home and there are CATS and a hot girl cooking me dinner, so it's not all bad.
I kind of want to look at the car in the morning to see if it's scratched, but kind of don't because I don't even think I would get it fixed anyway if it was, you know? It was a 5mph kind of thing (I was stopped, he got started) and I think a body shop would laugh me out of town.
It was the kind of night I wish I'd looked MORE pregnant so people would feel bad for me. I just want someone to feel bad for me, dangit!!
In all of the commotion, I forgot to call this lady last night about babysitting. Crap! Now I need to try to remember to call her tonight and hope she still needs a babysitter, because I need the money.
It will be okay. I'm just stupidly sad about my car at the end of a really sad day. It's just a car, and it's just a bumper, but it was my brand new car! Sulk.
Eeep! Glad to hear it wasn't anything real bad! Sorry to hear about your new car! That really sucks. I know, this happened to mine when I first got it. Only had it like 3 weeks and some kid didn't catch a baseball and it hit my precious car!!!!! Whaaaa!!
Please take care of yourself. Are you getting enough rest and eating properly and taking the vitamins you need? You go and have all these things done for the baby, but you need to take care of yourself as well. Go have someone check just you out and nothing else. You're #1 priority right now...you aren't any good to anyone else if you're not doing well.
I read some old entries of yours...I saw you like StarDust. I LOVE STARDUST!!!! I've got the entire series and I also have a autographed copy of Death, which Neil Gaiman wrote along with others and has an intro by Tori Amos. It's kind of dark, but not bad...plus did I mention he signed it??? =)
I love Stardust, too. I don't like the graphic novels (I'm not a graphic novel fan) but I like the STORY of Stardust so I have a novel version of it (no graphics). A friend of mine actually got in autographed for me, and Neil drew a cute little picture in it for yours truly. :)
Argh! I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if my new car were rear ended. Hopefully you won't see any jarring scratches in the morning.
About your prior posts...about general life suckage, let me also extend my ear, as you did for me this week. We should get together and have a big complain fest and then eat pumpkin, or squash pie! For real though, if you ever want to talk, yell, cry....I can't imagine how hard it's been to: move, buy your first house, find a new job, be pregnant, miscarry one of the twins, did I mention being pregant? And whatever else may be going on. You are wadding through a lot right now, so give yourself some credit for being as strong as you are. And call me if you want to.
Well, if you're talking about pie you know I can't stay away. But seriously, I would love to get together sometime. I like talking with you. I just want to have a stress-free day (or two, or three) for once. Maybe Saturday will be that day, although we have to go shopping for a gift for someone (which means the mall AAAAAH!) so maybe that won't be the day.
Let's get together, with or without pie. We can have a big knock-down-drag-out.
You know, it's not a big deal in the grad scheme of things but it did not have to happen at the end of a particularly emotional day. It's just a car, but it's my *sulk sulk* brand new car! And it was so perfect, and now it has a dent and a scratch! *whine*
Does that magic wand fix cars? That would be awesome. :)
I don't know if it fixes anything... but, I want it so bad. I'll take it work and carry it into staff meetings and when they throw too much at me I can wave it about. Most of the people I work with think I do some kind of black magic already.
I would be okay with a scratch or two. We cleaned the salt off the back of the car and looked at it in daylight and there's actually a lot more scratches and dents in the bumper than I thought, because the guy had a crash bar on the front of his SUV. *sigh* Now I need to call him tonight and tell him there's more damage than we thought and see if he wants to come look at the car, and see if he'll pay, etc.
I hate this stuff. Now I have to call the guy back (ugh) and hope he's reasonable (double ugh), if not I need to call insurance and file a police report and stuff. I hate that crap.
You need a t-shirt that says, Enough, Already. I agree, you can certainly count your blessings and still feel like you need a break; you have had more than your fair share of stress over the past couple of months, to put it mildly. I guess the only thing Thank goodness you have Jen in your corner. The love of a good woman-- hell, the love of a good person-- can prop you up when everything else feels like it's caving in.
Yes, it is nice to have someone on my side when it seems like the universe is against me, that's true. But sometimes the love of a good woman is its own stress, you know?

i bet it's nothing. however, it's not cool to get a scratch - even a tiny, almost invisible one - on a new car.
let's leave this on a positive note:
cats
hot girl
food.

I hope things get better soon. At least cats, food and hot girl were there when you get home.
This is the second time this week I wished for a magic wand to wave about. Maybe, I'll need to order this wand now. Hmmm I wonder if would work?
