YEAH! It's true, Merry Christmas Mike , here is your car scattered across the intersection of Lexington and Elmwood!!! Thanks Santa! So last night around 10:30 , i am leaving and go to get in my car when what do I see...A HUGE WRECK OF A MESS OF A CAR! Seriuosly like the whole truk is smushed up or not attached to the car anymore, the back windowm is completely shattered and the front of the car is completely bent up!!! GREAT!!!! As I get to my car the police are arriving, here is what witnesses said happened,

Well first they asked me if anyone was after me because it seemed like the person hit me on purpose cuz they rammed my car so many times. And i started to go through my head everyone who I have wronged but I couldn't think of anyone who would do that, but thenI realized I had an estrip bumper sticker and I thought "does someone hate estrip" ...well anywho it turns out it wasn;'t a personal vendetta but a drunk driver....and here is what happened

they witness said they saw the SUV turning from Lexington onto Elmwood and it smashed right into the back of my car which was parked on Elmwood, which then smashed my car into the car parked in front of me and then that hit the car in front of that!!!!! And I guess my car got shoved under the car in front and then was attached to the SUV so she kept going back and forth trying to get my car off!!! And hit it like 4 times! So even though all this happened and there were witnesses , SHE JUST DROVE AWAY! Luckily the people had the liscence plate and the polic officer said they caught here a few blocks down luckily! That makes one COMPLETELY TOTALLED CAR! (e:paul) and (e:libertad) have pictures which I hope they post soon. Luckily (e:libertad) was there to knock some common sense inot me and get me to take everything out of the car and pack it up to be towed!!!!!

I tried calling my parents because the tow guy wanted to know if I should have it towed but I figured my dad had a guy, cuz he always has a guy in situations like that but MY HOUSE LINE WAS BUSY, cuz they were tlaking to (e:pual) WHICH SREIUOSLY THEY NEVER TALK! What are the chances that that is exactly when they were talking. Eventurally I talked to (e:paul) who came to take me home and I got ahold of my dad who said to let the tow truck take it. My insurance companies computers were down so I had to call again this morning to report it cuz last night they just wrote it on paper or seomtihng.

I went and got a rental car today which I have to pya like $5 a day for cuz the insurance doesn't cover all of it but her insurance will be reimbursing me hoepfu.lly! no actualyl they will be, i will make them!!

I freakin loved that car though, it had everything and every amenity, I am sure I will not get enough money for it to find another car like that!!! I am so pissed! I only had it for three months and had to get it becuase my last car was totalled by a drunk driver over the summer!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRR!!!!

And according to enterprise , insurance companies usually allow you to have a rental for 5 dyas, so that gives me from now until Christmas to find a car! Um no i cna't do that that first you crazies! Hopeully they will extend it when I call tomororw. I don't even have the money yet, they won't know til the report on saturday what I will get so then that leaves me what sunday and christmas eve to get a car!?!?"!

I will never get a car like my last one prolly , it was so nice. WE called the dealer where I got it but he said he didn't have any more like it but he will look for me!!!

UGH! THis sucks! So end of the story is I didn't finish my chrismatas cards last night so a very limited amount of people are gettin gthem and they will be very late!

WHY ME!?! seriuslly i want my car back! You stupid whore! Why did you hit my car! I hate yoU! I can't wait to get the police report! What if it is someone I know, that would be insane!!!!

P.S. in the whole debacle I lost two tihngs, my aunt had given me a like cross thing for protection in the car and my mom had given me this kind of the road key chain which i kept in the change thing. Well i oculdn't find either cuz the whole little drawer/change thing flew open and stuff was everywhere mixed with debris and shattered glass I didn't relally want to dig through!

UGH!!!
Here are some pics from the scene - added by (e:paul)

Happy Birthday Jessica Kim Ho! I hope it was amazing and fabulous like you always are!!!

I love making christmas cards but am way behind the ball this year. I am just at the "Oh crap" where do I keep everyone's address stage which is the first step for me. I like to address the envelopes first and then make the cards after. For some reason it feels better that way. Like i never throw out/cross out old addresses so I have no idea which address is right and s othen I have to check with everyone. And then where are everyone else's saddresses? I sent them last year, i must have written it down somewhere. ugh! Anyway, I also still don't have a great idea for the cards! Here's hoping they come out well....it seruiolsy makes me so nervous wanting them to be perfect. I also found out I DO NOT know how to do caligraphy. Seriosly, each address looks completley differnt and many look like they were written by a parkinson's patient more than in a caligraphy style. Eh , hopefully they will be at people's houses by like a day or two after christmas!

So as always Eckerd get togethers some how break down into some kind of insanity, be it videotapped strip beer pong random coworker make outs or whatever. Well last night after a start at Malone's (a classy Kenmore local drinking establishment) , lets just say the night ended with some hide and seek in a funeral home and a fake wake. That is all I can say about that right now, but interesting night with my eckerd peeps as always!

Today I planned on doing so muhc since it is so crappy out. Like decorate the tree, make my chritsmas cards, walk to work and do some of the ten million hours of computer training we need to do. So now it is 5:30 and I have done none but I am about to eat for like the 10 tenth time. Hopefully I will start on the cards right after that and now my om is home ows we can decorate the tree! YAY!

Seriously I love today so far! I woke up at like 10:30 to the smells of sauce cooking in the kitchen. My mom does not make sauce as much as she used to and there seriously is no feeling as great as waking up to the house smelling of some wonderful sauce cooking! It seriuously makes me feel so good! So it doesn't end there, I come down and my dad had went to my cousin's so I decided to shovel for him. It was actually kind of fun cuz the snow wasn't too heavy and it was the first time for the year so it wasn't so bad and it was nice to surprise him. Then me with a little help (ok lots of help) from my mom made the mini cheesecakes I will be bringing tonight to the party.

Then we hung some lights in our windows that are twinkly stars that i love. And then I wrapped my gifts for the needy children tree at church. And now I think I will go on to working on my home made christmas cards. (which hopefully will be coming out soon!) My day kind of sounds like a Hallmark commercial frankly so far and I LOVE IT!

Unfortunately I have a memorial mass for my mom's cousin tonight who passed away. But she was really sick for a long time. I will be at the potluck after that. ALl in all so far a wonderful day!

(P.S. i tihnk it is even better because I am not stressing over my chem final tomororw now that I am not going to pharmacy school!)

So i officially decided yesterday that I am not going to Pharmacy school. I told my parents, coworkers and dermatologist. That makes it pretty official. THey all have differing degrees of dissappointment but frankly I hate science, and I don't care if you don't really do it on the job, I can't do it for 4.5 more years and then if I don't like science should I relaly be a pharmacist anyway. Like i relaly don't find it interesting at all...so now I need a new life plan...possibly winning big in the lottery or at the casino? Or opening a store, I love cash registers, maybe a cash register store? haha. I need to find something ough, possibly I'm thinking going back to school for my masters in sociology and work twoards a pHd and becoming a sociollgy college professor. Or maybe a socioal studies high school teacher except I fear my life is too much on the internet alreayd for that. Too many pictures, too many stories, and I come up way too fast when you google search for britney's privates. !

So ever since seeing an incredibly amazing episode of Gossip Girl a few weeks ago I have wanted to have a masquerade ball. And then after seeing enchanted I just wanted like a fun formal ball. And then wham bam thank you mam two come right my way. One my friend Rachelle finally convinced Danielle to let us use her house for a masquerade ball for Rachelle's bday in January! She has a cool masquerade ball like house I have heard.

And then (e:amanda) told me about this tonight. It looks like fun, yo uget to dress up and drink and eat and be merry and the money goes to charity....

www.thebuffaloball.org

I can't get the link to work for some reason so you will just have to type it in.

it seems like it will be fun, excpet last time me and (e:amanda) were at a formal at the Statler we got kicked out and she almost wasn't allowed to graduate college....hopefully it turns out to be just as fun this time!

Enchanted was really good! Like super good! Me and (e:jill) went the other night and I loved it! I think she liked it a lot too! Like it was kinda just like one of those old disney cartoons but like newish and fresh! The girl playing the princess was relaly good and the little girl was so cute! Everyone was really good in it! I can't get the songs out of my head and just keep watching scenes from it online. Yes, yes maybe I am really a 12 year old girl. You know why I am writing this right now:? Because I should be studying for my lab final tomorow!

I especially loved the part where she is singing "how does she know" in central park and eveyrone joined in. So classic disney and so great!

Here is the trailer for anyone who doesn't know what movie i am talking about.

Oh the things I will decide NEED to be done right now when it is less than 24 hours before an exam in a class I know virtually nothing about and am doing poorly in and need to do well in to have any kind of future:

so far today....

1. cleaned up my shelf where I place things until I get to something I am really avoiding (like studying today) and then go through all the papers and recycle and file as necessary

2. count all the dimes in my globe bank (it is up to like over 700)

3. refold and organize all the clothes that are in my room not in drawers

4. re-read all my random cards I have bought over time to send to people to decide which ones to start sending out...IN FEBRUARY

5. plan on going to see Enchanted possible with (e:jill) after class

6. taking a snack brake every 10-15 minutes...thank god for girl scout cookies and asiago cheese (no not together , well ere and there i suppose they mix in my mouth)

7. go to the post office and wait in a somewhat long line in order to ask about what to fill out to send things internationally. I'm sure it could have been quicker online but it just seemed like I needed to go there and talk to someone.

8. go over all my bank statements and balance my check book

9. organize the christmas gifts I have bought thus far

10. the USA Today Crossword Puzzle followed by the other puzzles in USA today followed by reading USA Today

11. reading (e:strip)

12. Watching Days of our LIves in the first time in what seems like forever

and of course...

13. writing this journal about procrastinating. OK well back to the grind of studying well......maybe a quick check of facebook/gmail/myspace/soap opera digest website ....but then back to studying

Sometimes I forget how much I love the Spice Girls and all it takes to remind me of the greatness is one little magical phrase "spice up your life". Hearing them always puts me in a better mood, they were musical geniuses!




Look at those gals, truly amazing in all their tacky glory!
