My Poor Car
I bring sad news about my car. Today I was in my first (and hopefully only) car accident!
No humans were injured. The other person's car, an SUV, had relatively minor damage to it's rear bumper. My beautiful, well-loved 1996 Honda Accord - on which we just spent $1000+ replacing the timing belt, pump, etc. - faired much worse:
I am glad no one was hurt, but at the same time I feel so sad that my wonderful little car was so damaged. No word yet from the auto body shop on how much the repairs might cost. So far my insurance and agent (Brent with Travelers) have been outstanding in handling this situation; within a couple hours I was driving away from the body shop in a (free to me) rental car.
The wife is angling to use this as an excuse to do a little vehicle shuffling. She has her eye on the GMC Acadia - any thoughts on that car?
Forehead Bump
Before our trip to Maine last week Libby got a pretty bad bump on her head. She ran full speed (which seems faster each day) into a metal cart at Lowes:
Poor thing - the bump swelled to the size of a large gerkin in seconds. Libby took it well, though, and stopped crying within a few minutes. Shannon and I didn't fare as well - we rushed home and called the nurses line to make sure we were caring for her correctly.
Pictures from Providence/Maine/etc will be posted Tuesday night.
Splinter in the Finger
I'm a wimp when it comes to pain. I am human: prick me and I shall bleed... and then whine about bleeding. But not my wife. Just look at the size of this splinter she had in her finger the other day (sorry about the blurry pic):
Ouch!
