I totalled my car last Thursday. I was driving from class to work, it was snowing, the car in front of me stopped suddenly, and I tried to slam on my brakes but I slid right into their rear bumper. My car is smashed, so Mark is taking it off our hands for parts. The other car, however, might need a new bumper? It doesn't even seem like we were in the same accident.
Lucky for me, the officer didn't give me a citation because it wasn't really my fault. She did tell me to give myself more space from the car in front of me, and she called a tow truck for me. Whatever you do, DON'T let the officer call the tow company! The tow place will charge double when the call comes from a police officer. Total crap if you ask me, but I've learned my lesson! I am now car shopping. We'd really like a 4WD vehicle for camping and fishing, but we can't really afford something like that right now. I'll probably just get another civic of sorts.
On a more cheerful note, we went snowshoeing with the famdamily on Saturday and had a blast! The weather was perfect- snowing a little with no wind and a mild temperature. Aside from Diane being terrified to go uphill, and Josh throwing snow in my face, it was a hella good time! I think we all want our own snowshoes now. :)
Finally, Valentine's Day was great this year. Even though it was on Sunday, we went to dinner at Rodizio Grill. Josh had never been there, which shocks me, so I made reservations for us. We picked a great night to go because they served rattlesnake sausage, buffalo roast, elk, wild boar, and the best top sirloin I've ever had! SUCH a great meal, and totally worth the $70 we dropped on it!
February has been real, but March can't get here soon enough... Corned Beef... yummmmmmm
Sad about the car. I was in an accident not too long ago. The guy next to me, in the left-turn lane, "thought" he was going to get hit by a car "making a wide turn" (I use quotes because I think he's full of crap.) swerved out of his lane and hit me. Oh, even better, his story changed from what he told me, to what he told the cop (who he didn't want to call), to what he told his insurance. Still trying to get $$ from him. Good luck with the car search. If you want a scooter, we have one we'd be happy to sell to ya!
