As you may have noticed, I haven’t written much here lately that is very personal. Things have been pretty hectic, but I can sum it up by showing you a 10 minute window into my day yesterday:
5:15p - Talking on the phone to my sister, she says “SK should be home soon, right?” “She doesn’t usually get home until around 6p.” Something clicks in my head and I start cursing. “Oh crap, I have to go! We are babysitting tonight, and I am supposed to meet her at her sister’s house at 6p!
5:16p - Rush to the bathroom, take a swig of mouthwash. Dash into my closet and throw on some clothes. Stop back in the bathroom long enough to spit, put on some deodorant and put my hair in a ponytail. Put Toby away and slip on my shoes.
5:19p - Run out the door to my car, locking the door behind me. While attempting to get in the car, I realize that I don’t have my keys. And now the door is locked.
5:21p - Remember the secret, get in the house, grab my keys and get in my car. After starting the car, I’m greeted with the low fuel light.
5:22p - Stop to get gas. It takes 15.92 gallons to fill up my 16 gallon tank. I definitely did not have enough gas to make it there.
5:25p - While attempting to get on the freeway, I stop to yield the right-of-way to the car on the feeder (aka access road for those of you who didn’t grow up in Houston).
5:25:30p - Jolted suddenly forward, as I am rear-ended by the guy behind me.
Yep, I was rear-ended. And that’s just a 10 minute window into my life.
Alliance of Free Blogs - I found You Know You Wanna while searching for kitty porn. No, that's not a typo.
Sorry to hear about the ding. All ok I hope?

First and foremost, are you OK?
Then did you get out fo the car and commence to chewing ass?
Never a good feeling, and even worse when you are in a hurry to go somewhere else.

Thanks for the concern — Yes, I am okay. It’s just a pain to have to deal with the insurance and everything. The lady handling the claim was a real booger bear.

Nooooooo! What a hassle. Red tape and repair work and being car-less - oh my!
