A Lucky, Yet Not So Lucky Week...  

I can see why you put this in the Life section Stef, as it took me a friggin' lifetime to read it all! (YES Irish, I READ it all!) First and foremost, I can't believe that you didn't hand your Mother her credit card with a slower movement. What an a**hole you are! She probably went through God knows how many hours of painful labor to give birth to you all those years ago and look at how you repay her! Jeez.

I would actually refer to all of this as a rather adventurous week! Karma was well on your side for one; and a hint of silver lining pretty much popped up at every step of the way! Hit once, no joy catching the dude and no damage..... Hit the second time, nice guy stops and no damage to you! AND you got a free water out of the deal! Not everyone gets to do a 5 dollar U-turn either by the way! I certainly haven't and will probably never get the chance either. Gotta love GPS though..... Given all the crap we put GPS through, it probably did this to ya on purpose!

But best of all, the week ended with a beautiful Saturday! My own weeks seem to be a constant cycle of "same shite different day" really. For now I'm just going through the motions to get where I need to be. But I do try to embrace many simple joys along the way! Yesterday for example, I took my Wife to a 5 Star Hotel for lunch. We could've saved a third world country from a budget deficit if we had of donated the bill amount; but what the hell! It was a rare treat amd we enjoyed it.

First of all, I cannot believe your mom called you THAT... but then again, she accompanied you to Havre de Grace.

Being hit twice in a day is quite rare but I guess it could happen to anyone of us more than any of us winning the lottery. I have had the experience of being rear-ended at school when I was driving Boyfriend's car. The other driver and I exchanged information but the "whatyourmomcalledyou" gave me incorrect ones. Good thing there really was no damage.

This January, I drove to San Francisco with my sister and Boyfriend. Drove through the toll booth as there were three of us and it was still carpool hours. Weeks later, I got a "toll evasion" notification. So I had to spend hours taking care of that.

Hope you'll have better and more importantly, safer, weeks ahead, steflane.

Yeah I have a week to remember and its when I do my finals project for my class and nearly 1 week without sleep in searching for specification sheet for my project and guess what when I present the project in the end of the week I got failed!! Damn professor i hate him!!

Hey Stef! Gee! I am just exhausted from reading about your
week! lol What a week! I am glad that after those accidents
that you were at least not hurt! You sure had quite a few
adventures! I'm sorry that you had to go through all that
though and I do hope that at least you were able to get some
great photos! I didn't have the best week either so I you
aren't the only one! My bf was off of work all week and it
was definitely a very long week for me and my two poor little
kittys! Needless to say we are all very glad that he will be
returning to work tomorrow! Thank goodness it is Monday tomorrow
and everything will be back to normal? I think?

What a long week you had got to the end of your discussion and it reminded me of when I was out and about,retired now so not much goes wrong and if it does I keep it to myself,or don't even notice.Having someone smash your car up you cannot ignore really and as for your mum she was probably tired,we get like that us old girls.Insurance companies are very good at taking your money off you,a bit canny about the thought of handing it out.Apart from that a day in the life of,seems pretty normal to me,by the way take care of your mum as you don't know how long you have got her for.Lost mine in April last year.We don't need a gps as my husband has driven all over england and has a good memory we joke in the family ask my husband he will know how to get there.

I had a real bad incident happen to me in a Dollar Tree store. This happened 3 years ago. I was ready to check out and going up front with my cart. I saw a line so I was just going to hang loose, when a clerk said to me she was ready to open up another checkout, for me to come and she'd check me out. Relieved that i did'nt have to wait I started to go, when this guy and woman with him said very rudely, "she meant me. I was next in line." I said back, " oh no. She said me and I'm not going to let another person take advantage of me." So I went to checkout all the while he was cussing and speaking right at my ear and saying," oh someone forgot to take their medication this morning! " I told him to shut up. He told me to shut up. I continued to ignore him as I paid for my stuff. I think he must of been on drugs to treat me that way and be so rude and loud. What a jerk. He also told me to go get hit by a bus. Can you believe it?

haha.. crappy, really if your car being hit twice in a day. Usually I don't have that kind of consecutive lucky days, . And you're really know how to write them down my dear. Good luck .

Thanks for sharing your interesting week with us. I am not sure what I would call it if I had a week like that, but wishing you a better week this week, and hope it will be a long long time before you have to experience another one like this.

What is the moral of the story: Stay away from Steflane when she is behind the wheel.

What do you think the author could have done different?

Maybe she should have gone to the photography class that was canceled on Monday that would have taught her to drive with her camera in the car so that she can get a nice photo of all the A*holes that she was going to be ran over by all week.

What would you have done in the author's situation? Stay away from Steflane when she is behind the wheel.
