It's Not the Car, It's ME!!!!!!

I am not thrilled to admit that I have been in MANY car accidents since getting my license. I have to say, though, that MOST of them were not my fault.

Well.... I added to my streak. (I'm ok and no one else was hurt)

I decided to run to the store to get some things I needed for dinner. I parked my car next to one of those cart corralls and after turning off the engine, started playing on my phone. Out of nowhere, I am jerked violently in my car while hearing a loud sound.

I GOT IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE PARKED!!!! This is the second time since we bought our car that I have gotten hit and I wasn't even moving.

Apparently, this particular accident happened because this lady lost control of her truck and it hit the cart corrall, which then in turn hit our car.

I used to think that my car was the bulls eye, but no matter what car I drive, I attract accidents.

I have included some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

The Race is Over

There comes a time when tough decisions need to be made. We made one tonight.

We have decided that we are not going to move forward adoption.

Thanks for all the love and support you have shown us through out this time.

Much love,

Heart Attack!

Yesterday evening, as I was sitting peacefully in my home, my doorbell rang. I opened the door and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

I found this on my porch:




There were also paper hearts taped to our door and all over our front yard.

Thank you to those who took the time to think of us. It warmed our hearts and made our day.

It's On!

This semester is not as fun as last semester. Part of the reason is my English teacher. I have had this assignment that has been a thorn in my side. I have turned it in 3 times and even enlisted the help of a friend who is an English professor and that version STILL wasn't good enough!!

After my last submission, he graced me with a "C" and said that I have the option of resubmission for a higher grade. A "C"?????? To say I was miffed is putting it mildly.

So, it's on!! Every class I have taken so far, has produced an A. I know I am not stupid. I have written essays and have gotten good grades...ON THE FIRST TRY!! I will get an A!! I guess this is the whole point and all... to make me a better writer and student. I could appreciate the whole "Stand and Deliver" thing if he weren't being such an ass about it.

Happy Groundhog's Day!!

According to Punxsutawney Phil, Spring will be here before we know it. Actually, I am a little disappointed. Snow came to our neck of the woods, thanks to this freak winter storm and I am not ready to let it go!
