An Email from John Last Friday...

There was a woman at lunch today eating a big plate of Kung Pow chicken and reading Catholicism for Dummies. I guess she hadn’t gotten to the chapter about Lent yet.

I had shrimp fried rice.

New Grow Game

Enjoy.

Bridal Shower

I had a bridal shower for my cousin, Emily, on Saturday. Em's getting married in May. We had a great time and my cousin Nicole was a saint being my Sous Chef -- helping me to prepare a million dishes. Emily's friend, Catherine, is a photographer in training and managed to get some fantastic shots. Two of my favs are below (yeah, I had to include the one of Bailey cause he's really adorable).

Angry

I am so mad. I left work early today because of the weather. Jennifer called me right before and asked me to come get her because she almost got into an accident on the bridge and didnt want to drive home. So I left work to go get her and proceeded to get into an accident on the bridge. The bridge was a sheet of ice and this lady in front of me slammed on her breaks. I, in turn, slammed on my brakes. The anti-locks went on, but the car still slid...right into her. It was like ice skating with a Highlander and a Rav4. Ugh.

So we pulled into the police station (that happened to be right there) and the guy at the station told us it would be 4-5 hours before a cop could get to us (as they were all out at accident scenes!). So he gave us a report and we wrote up our own report and exchanged info. She was really nice -- if I was going to hit anyone, I was glad it was her.

So my car has like $4,000 worth of damage and I'm just really shook up right now. Sigh.

Stupid ice.
