Boomerang Birthday Karma

I KNEW I unclenched too soon.

Having taken a week to congratulate itself on conjuring pending homelessness for its thirtieth incarnation, Birthday Karma wound and pitched again. At forty miles an hour.

This time, I actually managed to be a horrible driver while sitting perfectly still. I was at a red light in rush hour traffic when I dimly realized that SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE isn't exactly the best noise to hear coming up behind a person, and suddenly the Pending Bridemobile shuddered and lurched forward into the car ahead.

Guy behind me gets out of the car: "Are you okay? Sorry about that! Totally my fault!" No no! My bad for... just... sitting there at the red light, in your way.

I hope things work out ok.; January 26, 2007 8:40 AM

Ok, everyone now...How do I trick my boss into buying into this?

BTW, I watched the video of you turning 30. You really look great. I was looking for wrinkles and found none! I hope you feel better.; January 26, 2007 9:16 AM

Anonymous said...: I'm sorry for the blondemovile and all, but I'm really happy nothing bad happened to YOU. Nevertheless I would advise you to be checked by a doctor, make sure there was no injury to the neck vertebrae.; January 26, 2007 11:52 AM

That's the sucky thing about insurance. Even if the accident was completely not your fault in any way, shape, or form, your insurance will still go up. I've yet to figure out that logic.; January 26, 2007 12:48 PM

The car's okay too.; January 26, 2007 10:51 PM
