Soccer Mom...

For those of you who don't know...I got in a car accident 2 weeks ago. Stupid really, or at least that's how I feel. Anyway, ALOT of work is needed to fix my car. So into the auto body shop on Monday it went. Well in the meantime my insurance company arranged for me to have a rental. I get to Enterprise...and well they had run out of economy size cars. Yes, right?! I get a free upgrade at least that is what I am thinking in my mind. Well, wait for it...They proceed to ask me if I am married or have children. (This is after the guy asked me if I gambled with my lucky number birthday)It turns out that my free upgrade was a minivan. YES! There it is. I have been driving around all week in a tricked out minivan. Feeling a little like a soccer mom minus the husband, kids, and soccer. LOL. I am however taking applications in that department if you know of anyone who is interested. Ha Ha, totally kidding. It's funny how differently drivers on the road treat drivers of minivans. They make every effort to get out in front of you if they can! I can't deny that I haven't enjoyed the pick up and go this 2007 Toyota Sienna 6-cylinder has compared to my 4-cylinder corolla. Although...I do appreciate the gas mileage my corolla gets. I thought that the Federal Reserve was going to do something about that...hopefully sooner than later so it won't take all of my savings to fill up this rental. Love to all...moral of the story...don't get into car accidents!

You request for applications in the boy department reminded me of a funny story. So when I was at SVC my roommates thought it would be really funny if they changed our answering machine. It did say, "hi, this is Tiana, Sarah, Kim, and Beth. Leave us a message." Short sweet and to the point. I liked it. They changed it to say, "hi, you know who we are. We are currently taking applications for Sarah's eternal companion. Please leave your name, height, weight, eye color, and why you think you could be Sarah's soul mate. Girls need not apply." HAHAHA Very funny...

yeah, well that comment reminded me of a story from my days in the "den of sin" on Main Street. My roommates and I were screwing around one night, and there may have been some alcohol involved. I got sick of them, and decided to go to bed. Well, they didn't take too kindly to me ending the party so soon, and changed the outgoing message on our machine. A few hours later, Katie calls home to talk to me, but get the machine. Apparently the outgoing message had been changed to "Aaron's not here. He closed his door. He's a DEE EYE CEE KAY (phonetic spelling for the faint of heart). Leave a message. Yeah, I thought it was so funny, until Mom or Dad called. Oh, well, there are days I miss those guys.
