So... I got in a car accident today. I have absolutely no idea how to feel about he entire thing, which is long from over. Clearly I am not hurt, since I'm blogging about this (but really, would I let anything stop me? Probably not), and neither was the driver of the other car. Thank goodness.
Let me paint a lovely picture for you, set to the tune of flight of the bumblebee...
Me: an observant person by nature driving in stop and go traffic. on a four lane highway. after a crazy winter storm leaving the roads coated in spots of black ice and piled high on the sides with heavy snow. picture me realizing in sadness that I'm going the wrong direction, and will be late to meet dad in Edina.
Then. The traffic eased up a bit. And then right before my eyes was another car. Adlfdhlkfhsdklhfslh. Too. Close. To. Stop.
So I put on the brakes, and by the grace of God I was in the right lane, so I obviously start to swerve right. Start spinning thanks to said ice. And managed to only slightly hit the car in front of me, and while only the right corner of his car is hurt the ENTIRE left side of mine gets banged up.
Ugh. My fault : (
And the entire time I'm spinning, all I can think of is how angry my mother is going to be. Not if I'll die, just how mad I'll make others.
Thankfully no one was hurt. The other driver was very nice, he was 23, and consoled my hysterically crying self while exchanging information. "I've been in a few accidents before, so I'm not too upset," he says to me.
After that I drove, meeting both dad and mom in Edina. We eat dinner. And no one was mad. Strangely. I still feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but right now it all looks like it won't be that horrible of an ordeal: the guy I hit, and I have the same insurance... Mom said to me, "well good side to hit it on because there was some rust over there." The only thing that sucks besides two giant dents near the back (where's Edward when I need him?) is that the passenger door is hard to open and only opens a little bit. This is motivation not to eat too much over break.
And what am I doing tomorrow? Running around as usual, making a return, hanging out with dad, and seeing J.
But wait- I didn't fill you in on the REST of the day, let me sum it up:
•Hurried to get downtown before lunchtime (rush).
•Met Jana for the adorable 8th floor Macy's display (jingle)
•Met the bride and groom for whom I'm shooting a wedding for to sign photography contract (sign)
