Wow it has been so long since I have updated. I was determined to make a blog everyday too. But I've had too much on my mind lately to piece it all together. Monday night, February 1, 2010 I got into my first car accident. Since we had the snow storm last weekend I didn't drive anywhere. I did have to go to class Monday night so I thought the roads would be okay by then. I went out with my mom earlier that day and we were fine but I was still nervous about the black ice that might appear later on during that day and sure enough it did. As soon as I got off the exit ramp to head home I was on the interstate gearing up to go a little faster when I hit some black ice, my car fish tailed, I lost control of it and hit a pole on the highway head on. The whole front end of my jeep liberty was the molded into the pole. Luckily I walked away without a scratch. It all happened so fast that I don't think I hit my head or anything. I mean I have felt fine the last few days so I'm sure I'll be okay. But man it was the scariest thing ever! I've had many surgeries throughout my life and I'm trying to figure out which is scarier going into surgery or getting into a car accident... either way your life flashes before your eyes and it's terrifying. Luckily no other cars were involved so it was all good. Two strangers pulled over to see if I was okay, so that was nice of them. A couple of tow companies also stopped. Then the cop came and the first thing he asks me is if I was on my cell phone! UGH! No, of course not! Then my husband showed up and then my parents. It was a long process since AAA came and towed my car for us. The cop ended up giving me a reckless driving ticket because he HAD to give me a ticket for something. Seriously!?!? I didn't injure anyone, and I wasn't under the influence of alcohol or anything it amazes me that they still have to give you a ticket for something that wasn't my fault. So now I have a court date in March which everyone thinks will work out. I should get out of the ticket and will probably be on probation for a year. But still that court date makes me nervous, so wish me luck!!! I still don't have a car but my parents are going to the beach house to get their extra jeep so I'll be able to drive that until my car is fixed... so sad :( I'm thankful for my family who has driven me around the last few days though. I can't stand being cooped up in the house all day - it's bad enough that I already don't have a job.
And to relate this post to DMB - I was thinking that since my plates weren't damaged (they say DMB on them) and I walked away without a scratch or bump that LeRoi Moore was looking over me that day. LeRoi was the original saxophonist for DMB and died in August of 2008 due to complications from an ATV accident he got into. It was VERY hard for the DMB community to deal with. I know I cried for a couple of days and it's still weird at shows that he's not standing up there on stage with the rest of the guys. I remember back in 2001 when I met the band (that's another long story!) that LeRoi was really cool and down to earth. I was really star struck when I met him. It's so sad still that he's not there. I think he was looking over me that night because I had a DMB cd in my stereo... I have all the stickers on my car and the license plates and the firedancer tattoo. I mean all the signs are there. So if he really was looking over me THANK YOU! I do have other gaurdian angels that are family members so hopefully one of them was watching me too. It's always nice to think about those things because it makes you realize that things will be okay.
Still no job yet... but I have a couple of potential opportunities. I will explain later though once I know more about those. I can't imagine what else could possibly go wrong in my life. I lose my job, can't find a job, and wreck my car... someone please pray that something good will happen soon!!! I need all the help I can get! Until then though, I'll make the best of what's around...
