Hit and Run Nonsense

To say my life flashed before my eyes would be an exaggeration especially since it would of been blurry because the air bag blew my glasses off my face into the backseat. Thursday morning I was was tboned by a green Saturn or Pontiac and lost control and hit a telephone poll. Not a small one, but the big brown ones that people post Lost Pet Flyers. And the fool who hit me left! There were lots of good Samaritans around leaving me their numbers telling me that I was not at fault. The car looked pretty wrecked, my 2007 Honda Accord. The fireman was pretty impressed that I walked away with bruises. BUT to top off my moment one of the witnesses asked me if I spoke english...sigh....

Got the news yesterday from the insurance company that my car is total loss and we only have three days of rental left. And to top if off, because they couldn't catch the person who hit me, my uninsured motorist insurance doesn't work because there is no proof that she didn't have insurance. Really..no....really....

Because of the above reality I have been stalking Piedmont and Ave 59 everyday. Walking by looking at every dark green car for visible bumper damage. Curse you hit and run driver! So if you live in the HP neighborhood...keep an eye out for a dark green Saturn or Pontiac or Gram Am (I didn't have my glasses on, see above explaination) right bumper light and paint completely gone. They left that behind on Thursday. Okay enough ranting..

Jordan a future grafitti artitst?

It was a chilly morning at the LA Book Festival. But always worth the long drive (well especially because my sister drives and I snooze in the back) They had a wall where you could write the book you are currently reading. What a great way to share the love of books.

Post Wedding Thoughts

This may be the last post I will ever write about weddings. Its funny though, I still troll some of the wedding blogs but inevitably the desire is fading fast. Three things I loved most about my wedding:
1. Small, reflection, photobooth.
Everyone wanted to know why I didn't tear up when I saw Mike choke up during our vows. Honestly I don't know why, except I was just really happy that day. My entire mentality was about what a great party and fun day I was going to have. I already know how much he loves me, one of the reason I wanted to have a wedding was that I wanted to share that love and happiness with everyone else. Cheesy I know...anyhow here are some pictures from our wedding. Who knew my laugh was so big!

Oh Kogi Truck...will it be better the second time?

I drove home on Eagle Rock and saw the Kogi truck again...
Last time we waited 1 hr and 45 minutes for



It was rather disappointing, the sauce was sweet, a little spicy but you couldn't tell which was pork, chicken or beef. Call me picky eater but I like to taste the meat I am eating. BUT
should I treat it like dating...three is the charm? Was the first time just awkward because we really didn't get to know each other and we just didn't have enough time? There must be a reason why there are 50 people standing in line for an invisible truck? (When I drove by there were was a huge line and the truck didn't even arrive yet)

I did it

So now what am I suppose to do with all the DIY crap?

Weepy

The other day I was driving home and started to think about what I might say to my students on the last week of school. How do you say goodbye when you don't want to?

wedding in 10 days!

Today I took a mental health day from work. I needed it to run the last minute errands for the wedding. I finally sat down and thought about my vows. I am not sure where to begin? I thought about what I might want to say:

How I knew he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with?
What I love most about him?
What are my promises?

Am I suppose to memorize this? Of course in the process of trying to write my vows I got totally distracted by this:
