Sooooo, the car is totaled. To say I'm in a phucked up mood is an understatement. I thought the car was going to be repaired until the other folks insurance company went to look at it and deemed it totaled. Granted I could still opt to have it repaired but that would be a whole 'nuther hassle with my car insurance making sure they would still insure it with complete coverage (not just liability).
We have a rental (for a little while longer) plus the other car but this has put a total wrench into future plans. Specifically when the boys come in August. Who knows if I'll even have another freaking car by then. Once the rental is gone, Mistah will still need it to go back and forth to work while the boys are here. What are the kids and I supposed to do? Play hide and seek until he comes back? *sigh* I could pay for a rental that week but guess what? I don't want to. They should have to pay but this bitch of a claims agent isn't budging.
I never knew the process of dealing with insurance companies could be so damn frustrating and stressful. You would think that since this wasn't my fault they would be kissing my ass. HA!
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The journey continues...............

Damn Bambi!
After reading a post by LaBella Noire ( http://labellanoire.blogspot.com/2007/07/homefront.html) about her highway travels from hell this past weekend, it made me think about some of my less than stellar experiences on the road.
I know you all have been there before...riding along the freeway and then you see it. A gleam that catches your eye off to the side of the road but you are not quite sure what it is. After a quick second glance, you notice that gleam is the twinkle of an eye from one of lifes beautiful creatures......a deer. Now not only do you notice the deer you make the connection that a few of it's crew from the friends and family network has joined in the midnight rendevous. Now if you are anything like me, your next thought after making the connection is let me get the hell away from these things before they decide they want to take it to the streets and hit my car. Little did I know that I would be afforded the opportunity to get up close and personal with one.
Almost every year since 1999, I have gone to Nashville, TN to party it up with my BFF for TSU's homecoming. Picture it, AR, USA November 2005. Another friend and I were traveling on I-40 en route to Nashville to make the trip. While passing through Forrest City ( a town about half way in between Little Rock and Memphis) Bambi decides she had had enough of this cold cruel world and inadvertently takes her own life. As I was passing an eighteen wheeler, the deer darts out in front of our car. I am trying desperately not to freak out while trying to remember to breathe and keep the car on the road at the same time. Just as quickly as the deer was in front of our car she darts over in front of the big truck and meets her untimely demise. That truck knocked the hell out of that animal. She slid back in front of the car and right over to the grassy area where she came from. Damn Bambi! Oh well, you did it to yourself. lol
