1. That for Thanksgiving we had our car in the shop again. That we paid $3000 for a transmission that was faulty, that could have got me killed on the highway because the car dropped from 65 to 45 and then to 30 mph all in about 3 seconds. When I took the car back to the shop they said that they could get me a rental while they tried to fix their mistake. When they told me they could get me a rental they knew that I needed an eight-seater to pick up my family (flying in the next day) from the airport. When I needed to leave the house I still had no car. They were able to get me a seven-seater, a half hour too late. Which meant driving back and forth to the airport (they all didn't get in at the same time so it actually worked out okay except for the stuck in traffic during rush hour part).
2. That I bought a disposable roasting pan to do the turkey in, and it leaked. And the kitchen filled with smoke. After I opened the kitchen door to let the smoke out, I decided to try to open a window that was jammed. I climbed on top of the counter and accidentally stuck my elbow through a window pane.
3. That instead of staying parked on the PCH with sleeping Anna I decided to pull into the parking lot of a restaurant and side swiped an Escalade, in the rental mini-van. Anna woke up.

that sucks!! ALL of it!
Whoa. Rough stuff. So sorry!
ugh! Sounds awful! I'm so sorry!
If you told me that, I would tell you that YOU DESERVE A BREAK. And then we would cry together. HOLY, dude. Holy.
No fair. I am beyond words. I'm so sorry.
oh my goodness!! You poor thing! I had to laugh at the turkey part because I did the exact same thing :: must be in the genes ;)
oh my gosh. all of those things are horrible. How's the elbow? How's the rent van insurance?
Well, I wish that I were there for all of that. It sounds almost as good as breaking the mirror off a Jag...
I know it wouldn't fix the back and forth, but you should have just used our car, yo.
We're laughing now, though, right? :)
Love!
