Sara, It was 3 days after our wedding. I was driving to work and there was a flash flood from really bad rain. The street I normally drive on was closed (with a cop not doing much except blocking the street). I thought I could cut around through a neighborhood. It was pouring and still dark out and I really didn't know where I was. I pulled onto a street and all the sudden the water was up to my windows and my car stalled out. Then the water started rushing in the car. It was really scary, but I somehow managed to get out of the car. A coworker lived a street away and I walked to their house. His wife let me in and another coworker came and picked me up. We went to work and my cell was dead, and I didn't know my H's phone #. I had to call my dad to come and get me.
The car was totalled. It was about a year old. Fortunately insurance covered most of it and I was able to get a new car.

Hmmm, I don't think so. Skeleton people and dinosaurs? You must have been West River.
Well, even if I could drive the truck which has 13 gears I wouldn't be able to since I don't have my CDL. I am just along for the ride.
I don't know exactly how long I will be on here. Until he gets routes through Atlanta again.
Also I'm having a great time. Much more fun than I thought I would be.
We're home! The kitties didn't destroy the house while we were gone, yay!
And, four packages were on the front stoop: 2 boxes of wedding glassware I got for super cheap on WC, my old lady orthaheel slippers (OMG, I love them already) and some glasses I ordered for the downstairs kitchen. ANDPLUSALSO, two more RSVP cards! I love the mailman.

I think it sounded sweet Wally. And I LOVED getting RSVP's in the mail. It made my day. I miss the days when people sent real mail. it's so much fun. Maybe I should send more real mail in the hopes of receiving some...

<div>It IS such fun to get old-fashioned mail. Especially packages! Nerdy Girl got a letter from a friend at nerd camp, too, so she was all happy. Nevermind that this friend posts on FB and emails her frequently. I think it's neat they still write regular old letters. </div>

Krup, I think you're right. I kept thinking Tailspin had Huey, Dewey and Lewy, but maybe that was Ducktales and Tailspin had chip and dale? So confused...that was a long time ago.
Ok, I'm off. H got off the computer just long enough for me to send Sara a PM and now I have to get ready to meet Cfrb.
I've been running errands all day since we're headed to the beach house tomorrow. I can't wait. Naturally one of the errands was to the liquor store. Food, sun screen,sho,rts etc.
How's the trip? Are you having a nice time with your dad? Seeing our beautiful country and all that?
How's everyone else today?
ETA: You have to be fvvcking joking? Sho.rts is a bad word on TK now? Honestly? Damnn that Lucy.
Guys.. We need to talk What is UP with these commercials? They are totally bizarre. Toilet paper commercials, drug commercials, lah blah. Its all weird.

I had to send poor H a message on FB to let him know and let him know my dad was driving me home.
