Awww You Shouldn't Have!

My husband is the most amazing and wonderful creature alive!  Every Wednesday he rushes home from school and brings me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a present for me!  I always have to take a picture of myself with the surprise immediately after, plus I looked pretty dang cute, but then again when do I not? DUH : )


SICK...NOT!  Ok back to reality, I bought them for myself before this little incident cuz I thought I deserve it (and they're pretty and springy!)  I was having such a fabulous day off work;  I met Anne and her precious Cohen for lunch in Palm Springs and then did a little shopping at TJ's.  I was in the parking lot backing up my car and some dumb lady on her cell phone totally not paying attention decides to back into me.  I guess that's what I get for doing my grocery shopping at a hippie joint.  I totally laid on my horn to try and  get her attention but no she just kept jabbering!  So I get outta the car to see the damage (nothing too bad just a small scratch on my 1998 buggy so I didn't really care all that much) but she continues to sit in her car and yells out the window, "I did not hit you".  Oh yeah this maroon paint on my black car just happens to match your SUV perfectly.  She then proceeds to tell me, "I have 4 witnesses in my car".  Oh by the way they were all under the age of 5 and in car seats!  I said, " yeah you have no idea you backed into me because you were on your cell phone"! She finally got out of her car, sees the paint and continues to deny it...still no apology, that's all I really wanted.  Finally I just looked at her and said, "WHATEV, I don't even want to deal with this right now".  After all I was having a great day and didnt want her to ruin it!  Finally she half heartedly apologizes by saying, "you're right, I shouldn't have been on my cell phone".  No kidding, it is a law here now and if you aren't going to obey you should at least try to master the skill like myself with the stick shift in the right hand, cell in the left, fountain drink between the legs...yeah not so sure where the steering wheel fits in but it works right!
