Well...not exactly yet. But after talking to my friend who actually is an insurance adjuster and my own adjuster for this case, it sounds as though I almost can't lose. THANK GOODNESS. I know that nobody wanted to deal with my mini/major panic-attack that would follow that mess.
Unfortunately, that might have been the only real up-side today. I'm sorry but...is there anything worse than a Monday? Why do things always seem to blow up on Mondays? I guess that's just the way it is. Of course, the weather is beautiful, I have a paying job, and there are no tragedies in my life. I've got nothing to complain about! So I guess it's time to suck it up and get back to work for the night :)

Retail Therapy
Convo at home today:
me: "So, I did something bad today..."
Emily: "Oooook what did you buy?"
-proof that I have a problem
In light of recent and future events, I have found myself with the urge to do some shopping. Honestly, my shopping urge doesn't ever really surge or subside--it's always there. But especially after this recent ordeal with my car insurance, and TAKS approaching on the horizon, I've found the only way to curb my anxiety is by hitting up the mall or taking advantage of friends and family discounts. I'm sure my cardigans, shoes, and bag will leave me fulfilled.

Oh, help!
I think technically challenged sums up my skills with this blog. When I opened up the page I laughed so hard realizing how huge the picture is. I have looked under every tab, link, etc. trying to find a way to make that HUGE picture smaller. Obviously...no such luck. Oh well. I guess there's no mistaking who's in that picture! Technology literacy, come to me.
Unfortunately, technological literacy is not the only thing I need. So last night, on the way home from Bolsa with Emily & Ashley (and running into Mags and Katie--hey girl hey), I was driving back to my apartment and in the second left-hand-turn lane. Light turns green, I start to turn left, and the girl in the far left-hand-turn lane just smacks right into me. We pull over to the side of the road, and she and her friend, who let's just say was not the most pleasant girl to meet, insist on calling the cops. What? In my 4 fender benders we've never called the cops. (The fact that there have been 4 fender benders is another issue.) The cops basically show up and think the same thing that I am (what? why are we here?) and write out an official exchange of information. They won't solve the whole "whose at fault" because it was a minor traffic accident, hence why they shouldn't have come in the first place. But now, girlfriend is trying to tell me that it was MY fault because I was not in the turn lane. I don't want my insurance to go up because of this nonsense, so what do I do? I need a lawyer friend! The worst part is, my insurance expired 2 days ago, and I hadn't repaid it yet. I'm thinking my new motto regarding this "minor traffic accident" will be FML. Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Knowledgeable law people, come to me!

Leaving 1993
So, I figure that living a 21st century lifestyle involves acquiring certain technological skills that well...I don't have. Needless to say, I need to get more comfortable using technology, especially with such an emphasis on the use of it at work. So...here we go!
I've recently found that a couple of friends regularly update a blog, so I figured, why not? Even if nobody ever reads it, I'm sure it's somewhat therapeutic to say what you want and spend some time reflecting or laughing about each day's events. I could kick myself a hundred times for not keeping track of all the hilarious things that happen at work each day. I know that there are so many priceless moments that I've witnessed with my kiddos. I know that a lot of precious moments have been lost amongst the mix of time passed, stress, and well, just a full memory. But the truth is, I shouldn't only write a list of things that are precious to me from work, but from life's other moments as well.
After visiting my grandparents over Spring Break, there is one thing that I really notice and recall when I'm with my grandparents. Does anyone else notice that grandparents and people their age have the uncanny ability to recall certain events and times of their life and can give the year in which it happened? Without fail, my grandparents always have some sort of story from their past (many of which I've already heard before, but honestly, isn't that what you love about old people?). But each time this happens, I wonder: will I be able to sit back years from now and recall all the hilarious & great times that have happened if I don't start writing them down? Here's hoping!
