Fender Bender
What could make a busy and stressful week any more complete?
Setting up an assembly for all of Underwood's 9th graders? Done that.
Chaperoning a field trip to the bowling alley for upperclassmen? Done that too.
Cleaned up my apartment for visit from relatives? Oh yes...
Getting into an automobile accident? Nope...hadn't done that.
Until Thursday evening.
It was nothing too serious, and thankfully no one was hurt, but the Invisible Ben-mobile took a dent to the fender, bending it (what else?) such that the driver's side front door wasn't opening properly. Fortunately the body shop was able to pop out the frame and now the door closes and opens fine. So hopefully this is a cheap lesson. Hopefully.
Anyhow, if you're wondering why I didn't blog in more detail about any of the events above...or anything else for that matter during the past few days, now you know.
By the by, for those so inclined, The French Connection is running a nice little thread for those with guesses on the movie quote contest. Just click on the comments on the top post and add your guesses. I'll read 'em over my traditional Christmas dinner of General Tso's Chicken.
