Sometimes things happen that you thought you'd never look back on and smile. I'm like that, I'm dramatic...I know a few people who can attest to that...ok...maybe a lot. Well today I went and paid a visit to the green streak (my car, my baby). Now yes, she is wounded. But as I drove back into the back lot where are the other wounded cars were, I was noticing how compared to these other cars, she barely even looked like she needed to be fixed. Makes me thankful. Really it does. I mean I was almost overwhelmed because I was feeling so lucky and thankful. I'd say I damaged...ehh...13% of my car. There was a car whose whole side fell off (I didn't even know that was possible), cars that couldn't shut the hoods, windows broken and even a car that was opened up with the jaws of life. Now don't think I'm getting material here because I'm not. I wasn't thinking about how my car was damaged less (did I mention there is a chunk of the telephone pole wedged into the car...yea...) because I have the same $250 deductable regarless, but I was thinking about the people inside the car. If the car looks that bad, it is quite possible and almost probably that not everyone walked away, or rode in a police car, away from the scene with nothing to worry about but how to get to their meeting that night. I am so thankful that I hit a pole and not a person. I'm so thankful that I was coming from a stop and not 50 mph, I'm so thankful that people stopped to help me. I just thank God. This could have been worse, much worse and it wasn't....It's a great day to be alive...Yeah baby....
Oh, one more thing. Today I ran into this girl who I trained with at the Listening Ear...oh my gosh..it was so amazing to see her...I miss those guys....I wish I could have sat her down and spilled my guts, but alas...I was glad to see her anyway....IT WAS GREAT!!!

Whine less, breathe more;

So I thought I'd include a quote from my friend Molly's Diary...why I'm not sure because really I'm the only one amused my this...(well and her too) but still...Read it..
"So I feel the need to share some quotes from Sarah because they make me smile and laugh. They may not make a whole lot of sense to anyone, well really they don't make much sense at all to anyone but Sarah, but they make me smile and laugh. "Not in Sarah's Car-O-Peace!" (this is just a side note, but sarah's car-o-peace currently has a big piece of telephone pole in it. This is why everyone should scrape off the whole windshield when it is frost and snow covered and they are going to drive somewhere.) "I can feel the hotness in my pants" said while driving in my car... kind of scary. "I don't like drving you car. You push the gas pedal and it zooms" "Is that the girl thats the girl?" "Abstinence is the choice of champions" see... i could go into details with this one, but sarah really might kill me "the airborne express guy hit on me(ed. note, by Sarah, AGAIN...and he touched my arm and told me I was going to get it...!"
