Yesterday I had all good intentions of writing a feel good post today about love and Valentine's Day approaching and how much I'm glad to spend another year with Big Man....
But plans have changed.
Little Woman found herself in a fender bender this morning.
Don't worry, every one's all right but I am now $150 poorer.
Here's what happened:
So my day started off fabulous. I wrote my to-do list for the day, put on my Top 100 songs play list, and started jammin' out while I was cleaning this morning, Clean house? Check. Laundry sorted? Check. Dishes done? Check. Everything was going as planned. My day seemed like it was just all falling into place as I was heading to the bank and then onto Best Buy to get Big Man's V-Day gift. I couldn't have been any happier....
Then I get to the bank. (Now I find it necessary to inform you ladies that patience is not one of my virtues) So I'm sitting in line at the bank drive-thru and the person in front of me is taking FOREVER...(seriously "what are you doing?..if it takes you more the like 10 minutes to handle your business then you should take your happy ass inside)
I digress
So being the perfectly impatient person that I am, I decide to back up and pull into one of other lanes that just opened up. That would have been cool if there wasn't a person pulling in behind. 2 seconds later I hear a horn and the inevitable sound of my Neon greeting his Mercury. I'm a total loser and crack under those circumstances and I begin crying profusely. I think it's something about guys, that they begin to feel uncomfortable when a girl starts crying and I sensed this guy just wanted to settle this thing.
To sum up the rest of the story....I cashed my paycheck, followed him to a detail shop and paid him the $150 that was estimated for the damage. The guy was really nice and very understanding of the whole ordeal..thank god..if it would have been his wife, I seriously think she would have hung my ass out to dry. I know I could have went about it differently and called the cops but I didn't want to get my insurance involved or have my insurance go up. So now I'm out $150 dollars. Boo-hoo!
But I'm looking at the positive of this in that no one got hurt, it was minimal damage, he signed a paper releasing me of any responsibility, and that Big Man has agreed to be my chauffeur from here on out...lol.
Ugh! I can't wait for this day to be over...and to just have a relaxing day with Big Man tomorrow! :)
Anyone else have some good fender benders stories that they would like to share??
Edited to Add: I just realized today is Friday the 13th...what fuckin luck! :)

Sorry to hear that. At least your insurance wont go up. If it makes you feel any better I hit a neighbors trashcan the other day...It put a huge dent in the passengers fender and by the way...that was the day I drove my hubbys car. He wasnt to happy.
