The One about the Christmas Cards

Can I just say that I am SOOO ready for Christmas??

I absolutely LOVE it! It is my favorite holiday and most

favorite time of the year!!

I wait all year for it!

So I really want to send out cute Christmas cards this year.

Last year I uploaded photos to Walmart and they

just came out all fuzzy and NOT cute and by the time I

picked them up there was NO time for new ones so they

went out just like that.

My goal this year is to not only take a GREAT picture of my family (with my awesome

new camera) but to get them sent out before Christmas!!

So Shutterfly is doing this really cool deal where you can get

50 free christmas cards...

I don't know which one I'm going to use but I am definitely

taking advantage of this offer!!

These are the ones I really like....

They are all really cute! I am so looking forward to the holidays and my family coming!!

CRASH! BAM! ALAKAZAM!

Who would've thought that a simple two minute trip from work to the gas station down the street would end in a smashed door, a ticket, and (what i'm sure will be) higher insurance cost? So here's what happened. I was making a very legal left turn out of a gas station in queen creek where, by the way, the roads are only one way everywhere you go. I had looked left and right several times but didn't see a single soul coming and the light was green so i thought "wow a perfect opportunity to turn" but there were cars blocking the way in the lane i needed to turn in (since there is only one of them) so i had to wait a second to move. Once the cars had moved i looked both ways once more and since no one was coming i began to leave the driveway of the station. Just as i was about to turn a white p.t. cruiser came from nowhere and collided with the driver side of my car. Luckily i was only doing about 5 miles an hour and since he had just freshly made a right turn he couldn't have been going more then 10 or so. It scared me though because had we been going faster i probably would've been seriously injured since he hit me squarely on the driver door right where my body was sitting. The guy in the other car looked at me like i was absolutely crazy, but i didn't see him at all until he was just about to hit me because he didn't even try to stop and i couldn't keep going without getting hit. Also luckily, no one was hurt, and he was pretty nice about the whole situation. Unfortunately since i was the one making the left turn it was automatically my fault. Somehow i find this unfair since i looked several times and no one was coming and i know he must have been making a right hand turn because no one was coming straight even though the light was green. I mean he had to have not been paying very good attention to turn that sharp of a corner and not be able to stop in time to not hit me. Well what do you know? I got a ticket for "failure to yield to oncoming traffic" LAME!!!!!! It makes me upset because it really was his fault but because i was making the left it's automatically mine. Where is the justice in that? It also sucks because i feel like i'm a pretty cautious driver some may think otherwise, but you have to admit i don't speed or swerve through traffic or run red lights or do stupid things like that. I'm human so i make mistakes and i'm very jumpy but i think over all i'm not a bad driver so why the heck did it have to be me who already has the ghetto-mobile and now it's even worse! So now on top of a broken window that doesn't stay up i have a driver door that closes but still leaves space at the top and bottom so it doesn't seal properly and is smashed. Ialso have a broken visor and apparently a bad hose that one car repair man says exists and another says it doesn't. plus the paint is peeling off the hood and i can't even wash it because there are holes everywhere!!! Don't get me wrong i'm very grateful for my car and she's lasted me for a few years and hasn't had any major problems and lets face it at least i have a car when there are plenty of people who don't, but i'm tired of things breaking on me. I really am ok i promise i'm just venting because the entire situation is stupid!
