As you may remember, I was in a car accident a little over a month ago. My car was supposed to be ready yesterday. We get there to pick it up and they find out when they finally start it up to move it out, the Check Engine light comes on and it has something to do with the transmission. So, we leave it there for another day so they can check into it. Turns out it was just a little broken wire that they were able to replace just fine. Cool. So, today we wouldn't be able to get there until after they closed so he was going to leave the key locked in the car (I have the little remote) out in their little lot. We get there -- NO CAR. WTF? Luckily, the little body shop next door is open and they have the guys home number. Turns out the detail guy that was the last to leave, pulled the car back into the garage. Ugh, but at least there's not still something wrong with the car. BUT, the owner lives an hour away. So, we go to dinner come back and he's just pulled the car out. But it's not my car. It's another Saturn. I start freaking out slightly. I saw my car yesterday so I know they have it. A few minutes later, the guy pulls it out from the other garage. So, YAY! It was there, just not where the initially thought! (And now the owner has to explain to these other people why he locked their keys in their car!). So I have my car back. And it's kinda weird cos it's a lot smaller than my husband's car that I was driving. But everything is good. It's nice to have my car back (I so missed it's lovely, tight turning radius). Now I just have to hope the other guy does not show up in court next week and my ticket gets thrown out.

Oh, and this is why I haven't been able to finish all those quote icons you lovely folks requested. I am working on them, I promise. We're going out to the lake house this weekend so I should be able to work on them then and have them posted by Sunday night. :-)

And now, bedtime.

So, remember last week when I was in that car accident? I got rear ended this morning in the Starbucks parking lot! This cannot be happening. As soon as I heard the little crunch, I was just like - No fucking way. That did not just happen. Grrr!!!!! I was backing out of my spot and asshole on the other side of the aisle didn't look and backed up into me. While I'n driving my husband's car. Great. Really really, just, great. The rear panel is dented in slightly and there are some scratches that will need to be buffed and painted. Hopefully, it won't need to be replaced. We traded information. The guy just said to send him the estimate and he would pay for it instead of reporting it to the insurance. Cos I'm sure his deductible is probably more than the damage is, so there's really no point. He just has a little scratch along his fender (he was in an Infiniti X35, the SUV). Oy. What the hell is going on?!?!
