I took the girls to the doc, and when we left (armed with about ten different prescriptions) we discovered what was LEFT of my car.
Some dick had hit it, knocked the front end off, and split.
No witnesses, but there were some people who were so incredibly helpful to me, and I am in their debt. While I stood there crying and shaking, one dude took pix, and sent them to Matt’s phone. Someone else called the cops. Another person checked to see if there was surveillance in the parking lot–no.
So, we’re fucked. I have great insurance, but we still have a $500 deductible and we are broke because Y’ALL made me go buy Matt a shitload of new clothes last week. Thanks, guys.
One of the good samaritans told me he would take all four of us anywhere we needed to go, and I was like, “But I have to get prescriptions and stuff, and you don’t need to be carting us around on errands.”
They decided that after pix were taken, they would just pull the bumper/grill off so I could drive it home. Man, they were nice.
I hugged them all when we left, and just bawled because their kindness calmed me down and kept me from being hysterical. Our other car is currently parked at the Louisville airport, awaiting Matt’s return.
So, now we deal with State Farm, and will hopefully be in a rental by tomorrow.
Yes, it sucks to be us, but at least no one was hurt.
I want it on record that anyone who hits and runs is a total dick, and bad karma should befall them.

…but, she put on a HELL of a show at the Grammy’s last night. My jaw literally dropped. That girl was awesome. Who knew she could bust out a Cirque de Soleil type performance, and sing (allegedly) while doing it? I was way impressed. And the body on that girl?? DAY-UM!!!!!!
Her husband is still a tool, though.
Also, the Taylor Swift/Stevie Nicks duet??? BOOOO!
I think Taylor is a lovely young woman–not the greatest vocalist in the world but she’s okay. She did not do “Rhiannon” justice, but then, no one can BUT Stevie. It would have been nice if Stevie’s mic was turned up so that we could fucking HEAR her, but whatever. No one consulted me. It pained me to hear (barely) Stevie sing “You Belong With Me,” but she was a good sport and was very gracious about it.
I was happy to see Kings of Leon win, even though I don’t like the song, “Use Somebody.” I’m all snobby about KoL, because I have been a fan since way before they made it big, and thus, I have the right to turn up my nose and say, “Well, it’s an okay song for MAINSTREAM, but “Slow Night, So Long” was way better.”
I’m off to take the girls to the doctor, and I’m guessing they both have strep. FUCK!
Have a good day, everyone.
