So the other night I was going out to visit some friends when I found my self in a fender bender.  Ugh… It was totally my fault too.  I had just turned on to a one way street looking for the place I was going to, when I noticed a dead possum on the road.  I slowed and started to go around it by going in to my right but didn’t look.  That’s when I clipped the other driver that was coming up on my right side.  I totally didn’t look before I started to veer… I feel so stupid.  I’ve been driving for 12 years and never had an accident until yesterday.

Looks like I’ll be claiming this on insurance.  It’s not a lot of damage (we weren’t going that fast) but there is enough.  My front driver corner is all cracked and her passenger side is pushed in and scratched.  We still have to see if there is any damage we can’t see yet.  We where planing on saving to go to Disney next year, but I think this might put a damper on that.  We’ll see.

I’m still pretty stressed about the whole deal.  No one was hurt thank goodness.  Needless to say but to make any extra money I’ll be looking for high paying freelance and commissions as well.  I’ll put a note out when I can take one is anyone is interested.

So have readers gotten in to a fender bender?  Was it your fault?

Just finished a new pic.  Who’s that squirrel chick?  I dunno… just some random character I had kicking around.

So this week I was at some healthy eating thing at my kids school.  It was a pretty fun and we learned some things, as one often does at events like this.  At the end of the evening there was a draw for some prizes  AND WE TOTALLY WON!  What we walked away with is new crock pot (slow cooker).  Which is cool, but we already have one.  We got it as a wedding gift and it’s the biggest damn crock pot you’ve ever seen.  I could cook other crock pots in my crock pot.  This new one is about a medium sized pot.  Not sure what we’re going to do with it honestly.  Maybe we’ll gift it to someone.

I don’t win things very often, and by that I mean never.  So this was pretty exciting even though we had one already.  What was the last thing you won?

It was a long Family Day weekend here in Canada.  I spent the day with my family and my brother-in-law’s family.

What did you do this past weekend?

What’s you favorite kind of ice cream?  Mine is Chocolate Mint.  Now, when you’re out and have have the opportunity to have ice cream, how often do you get your favorite kind?  I rarely do.  I usually get some other flavor.  I’m always curious about other kinds.  Maybe there is something better, or maybe I’m just curious about something I’ve never seen or tried before.  Regardless, I rarely get what my favorite is, or what I know I like.  This has actually extended to most of my meals when I’m out at a restaurant too.  I’ll probably get something I’ve never had before.  This started when I was on a cruse and I thought to myself “when will I ever be back here to try these things”?  I decided then that I would try new things when I’m out rather then get the usual favorite.

Do you always get your favorite food or do you try new things?

So wandering around the internets as I often do has turned up this sexy little title for the 3DS.  It’s being published by D3, developed by Intense and is called 女の子と密室にいたら○○しちゃうかもしれない。 or in English (google tanslated English) “This might lead us to the â—‹ â—‹ If you are in a closed room with a girl” (game site).  The basic premiss that at can tell is that is a love/date game where you are trapped in a locked room with girl.  Why you are there and what is beyond the door is not really clear.  What is clear is that these girls you are trapped with (5 in total) have huge boobs.
