An Exciting Adventure

My college friend Lisa and I always have "adventures." Interesting things seem to follow us. Saturday was particularly eventful. First, Lisa almost left behind her wallet at Paint your Plate, our girls day outing. Then I actually lost my wallet...in retrospect, an 8 month pregnant person should not stuff a wallet in an unzipped coat pocket. I didn't realize it until later, lost time from the girls' tea, and was delighted to learn that Steve, a good Samaritan, had found it in the street, located me in the phone book, and safeguarded the thing until I picked it up. Then off to the coop for some shopping...only Lisa rear-ended me on the way. Oops. I stopped instead of pushing a yellow light since she didn't know where I was going and she didn't see that I stopped. All that is messed up on my car is the bumper, but her car is worse off. I will say to my credit, that I'm really growing as a person. I wasn't even mad about the car (it's just a car) and we were able to laugh about it....along with a few tears, since she is less than $500 from paying her car off. Also, if you have American Family insurance and hit another person with it, that saves you $100 off your deductible. Who knew there was a family and friends discount with a car accident? Here's hoping the rest of the week is a little less eventful...

  2. Fortunately, NOT the Prius...I was driving our Saturn. Although, I jacknifed the trailer into the Prius, so Dave pointed out we could have gotten a free bumper if I had been driving that...
