...on Monday. It was just ridiculous. I had my first accident and it wasnt even something to really talk about. I hit a car b/c i was paying attention and got to feel the words of my mother saying, "Put space between you and the car in front of you". It was a big neon sign that said those words right after i hit the guy. And i knew i did wrong and accepted full responsibility for the crash. His car was fine, mine on the other hand was not. Fortunately everything that was already wrong with my car was damaged from the wreck so i knew i would get it all fixed up and vitually get a brand new car back after it got fixed. So after i hit the guy i drove right to the chevy dealer to get an estimate and the car guy determinded it was 65% totaled. I felt awesome. I wish i could have said someone else was driving my car so i wouldnt look like the dumb blonde that just hit a guy. Seriously, you really feel shitty when you not only know you hit a car but that you didnt do damange to their car, only yours! I hurt my car, no one else did and i have to live with that, well my insurance company has to live it it. So anyways, car is in the shop getting fixed and re-painted (all the hail bumps in my hood for the Great San Marcos Hail Storm of 2005 will be gone!!) I now have a pretty cute Chevy Cobalt to drive around in. I'm really not used to normal cars (i.e. non bucket seats). I can see everything sitting in a normal seat, its almost amazing how i drive in my camaro and can actually see when i drive b.c i sit so low. So after i get my car back and is all pretty, i will probably sell if for the awesome trade in value its worth and get a new one. ... stay tuned for that one!
So Marc and I did in fact find an apartment. It was one whole day of apt searching and finding out how stinkin expensive the "inner loop" of Houston really is. But we were good shoppers and found an awesome deal near hermann park and is a great location between the med center and downtown for the two of us. Super excited, although the evil menice of carpet still lurks. (grrr...) Oh well, you take what you get and live with it. Thats why i own a Bissell Carpet cleaner.
An upcoming Holiday... the 4th of July is just next week and guess what? The planner that i am has no plans. How is that possible you ask... ?? Well, i just dont give a flip anymore about planning for semi-celebritory holidays. I mean dont get me wrong, the 4th of July is one of my favorites, right up there with Halloween and Easter... but its so hard now to coordinate austin friends with Houston friends, with parents and siblings... b/c none of them live in the same city. My people are EvERyWHerE! Its getting crazy now figuring out schedules and convenient times for "the group". I guess we'll take it for what it is and just do something simple, add some beer and a camera and we've got ourselves a party. haha. Sounds so college to say that but thats how easy it is. Anyways, most likely go to Austin, float the river in Gruene, then watch the fire works in Zilker Park (not on the side of Mopac like last yr with all the ants!) I just like to listen to the symphony play all our patriotic songs with the fireworks. Simple i tell you, thats the name of my game. Want to play??
