|  Bummed.....................
Well....I'm bummed out & NEED to vent...so here I go.....on Monday (feb. 28th) I was on my way picking up my daughter from daycare & was in a car acciedent!! (not my fault either) It was a 4 car pile up, & I was the 2nd car!! Thanks goodness, NO onw was hurt!! But the girl who hit me, hit me so hard ( impact) that I smashed into the car in front of me...so my car is sooooo beat up looking!!! It's worse in the front than in the back. What real upsetting is that my bf (about 2-3 weeks ago) just put new brakes, changed my oil, rotated my tires PLUS fixed some of my old dents from my previous wreck (last year & 1/2) & he just really started making my car look so much better than it ever has looked.I mean I started feeling so much better getting into that car. Ya know? :tissue I mean it looked like a junker & he really started fixing it up. ( painting it and all that!) this is my 3rd wreck I've had in this car, and all 3 x's have NEVER been my fault! Her insurance is paying for all the damages. & I am getting a rent a car and all that. I would just like to total it out, but I HAVE to keep this car...it'll be paid off in April, & there is NO way i can afford another car payment...ya know? I need this car to last me as long as I can. I Know everything is gonna be ok, it'll get fixed to looking back to "almost" new again.....it's just the POINT! SOmetimes I swear...if it's ain't one thing, it's another in my life! (just whining alittle bit)lol and I just get tired....I just knod to myself & go on.....blah blah blah! Oh well....as they say..... "THAT'S LIFE!"  & at least it's just a car & not my health! Right?Thanks for listening ya'll! PS..have ya'll heard of Joel Olsten?? I have his new book & WOW it's awsome. I really like him ALOT!!!! I'm learning alot thru him!

I'm so sorry about your car BC.  I know that really sux, just getting it all fixed up and such. I haven't heard of him. What's the name of the book? I am always looking for new books.  I just ordered Swallowing a Bitter Pill. I can't wait for it to get here.

It's called.."Your best Life Now...7 steps to living your full potential" He's like a preacher, (if that's whatcha call em') lol But he's really good! Swallowing a bitter pill? Is that a murder mystery? What kinda books do you read?

No, it's an addicts memoir. The authors name is Cindy Mogil. Here is some info about it. I can't wait to get it. Click on read a sample chapter and you'll be sold lol. I love to read recovery related books, memoirs, self improvement books etc. I just finished reading A million little pieces by James Frey and it was incredible. I also love true crime. Ann Rule is one of my fav's. I'm also really partial to James Patterson. I read alot of self improvement now that I'm trying to get right with myself and my house. Now I'm reading 4 weeks to a Better Behaved Child, ( having discipline issues with Matt) and The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands (having discipline issues with Mike lol) These are the ones I read on the treadmill at the gym. They are both very interesting. I just love to read.  What are your favorites? Maybe we could trade some books?  |

Hi Butterfly, I absolutely LOVE your avatar!!! I am so sorry about your car. An accident like that can really shake you up can't it? I think it makes you realize how fragile life is. I'm sure your car will look great when it is fixed up! So glad you and the little one are alright. Love, Anna

Hey BF - I am sorry about your accident, I have been there myself twice in the last 3 months and the first one WAS MY FAULT. No one was hurt and the girl that hit you had insurance so things will be fixed. That is a good thing. Joel Osteen I LOVE HIM. We watch him on Sunday mornings. He is touring the country right now and a friend just bought us tickets to see him in April when he comes here. I like him because I can understand him. He speaks from the bible but in everyday terms and examples. I havent' bought his book yet, told myself no more books until I get through the steps again  . I will let you know how he is after I see him, I think he is gonna be very inspiring.
