Did I forget to mention...

The insurance adjustor called to say that his estimate is that it will take $2,600 to fix the truck.

Oh, and the guy that hit her filed a claim saying that she is at fault for the accident.

I don't believe this man knows that we have the number of the off duty King county sheriff's officer who saw the whole thing and is willing to sign an affadavit to that effect. I spoke with the officer tonight and he's very nice.

So, Steph has lost her wheels, I've become her chauffer and I'm losing my two daycare boys.

They say things come in threes.... Let's see. Car accident is number one. Car now undrivable, number two. Losing job, number three.

Hear that karma? We're done now.

Update: Apparently Karma is more difficult to pacify than I'd thought. Our mamma kitty is pregnant. With kittens, I'm assuming. This time it can't be Uncle Daddy. Bad Kitty. Naughty Karma.

    Sweet Pamela Troepl, how could you think you no longer mean anything to me. I just got busy, that's all.

    Get a room, you two.

    Pam, One snowy day, the daughter of our not-so-esteemed commissioner of revenue came barreling around a corner and crushed the side door of my 1989 Subary station wagon (god how I miss her - the Subaru), bolted from the scene and returned with two city cops and her parents, to whom she declared I emerged after shouldering my door open to curse her roundly. Liar.
    The cops refused to check the rapidly disappearing tire tracks. They took my ID and insurance and let said daughter and parents spend extended quality time reviewing my documents. I got the phone number of her insurance company - no policy number, driver name and address or anything.
    Of course I got charged with failure to yield and reckless driving.
    I took it to court and was found not guilty (not 'dismissed' but not guilty).

    By that time, the parents also filed a claim against my insurance to fix their little maniac's front end. I'd already bought a door from a junker to replace mine, so I took the damaged assembly, taped a handmade bill of sale to it and propped it against their front gate.
    Bastidges.

    Tommy dear, it's all right. I only have two feet, while you are more impressed with the four-footed specimens. I understand. I do.

    Pauline's Mama, no. The girl cat never got fixed. We tried to take her to the vet once and she nearly killed us all.

    Fronty, that stinks in a major way. I don't understand how people can lie about stuff like that.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the cookies! You spoil us, and we love it. Jealous guys?

    Baking cookies is the first step in turning around Karma. Next you need one cup of rain water, three ripe huckleberries and a lock of hair from a virgin (cat). First and third might be allusive in these parts. Combine and shake in a rootbeer bottle and run around front yard singing "Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma, Cameleon". Drink concoction and expell loud burp. Then Karma will be happy and you can sit back and wait for your reward.

    Hope this was helpful.

    p.s. I am pretty sure you need a witness to seal the deal so call me when you are ready. : )'

    I thought Mamma kitty was fixed? OH well, Smokey will have a half sibling then. And no, I don't need nor want another kitten.

    PM, if we have some girl kittens, I will mail them ALL to you!

    Jenny, you are welcome for the cookies. I decided last night that I should bake cookies for the girl's lunches. Baking in the summer is not my most favorite thing to do (my first favorite thing has something to do with lots of ice, some chocolate sauce and Johnny Depp)

    I'm glad you enjoyed them. I tinker around with recipes and never follow them, so these are an interesting chocolate chip cookie. Now, if you can find me a virgin cat, I'll do that Karma dance. There will be no cameras allowed, however.

    Janet, you KNOW that smokey wants/needs another sibling! How cool would that be?

    Gosh, I was going to ask you the recipe, they are so soft. How do you get them to stay soft? I am having a hard time sharing them.

    I'll let you know about the cat. No promises on the cameras though. ; )

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
