Weekend Grab Bag

Today I was surprised with a new car! Well . . . almost surprised. Back in November I got in a car accident on my way to Friendly's to meet some friends after the Powder Puff Football game. I was driving down Chews Landing Road when a lady pulled out of the Wawa parking lot with out looking in my direction! I slammed on my brakes, but there just wasn't enough time to stop. Later I find out she doesn't have insurance. They declared my car totaled with $4,000 worth of damage and they would only give me $2,300.

So anyway, today my dad picked me up to go to my aunt's house for an Eagles party and on the way he said i have a surprise for you. My family already knew that he had gotten me the car, but apparently some of them didn't know that he didn't tell me yet. We were all sitting around the television, talking and watching the game and one of my aunts say, "So I heard you got a car". My dad just sat there for a second then he quickly said, "No not yet we're still waiting on the money from the insurance company". Then I knew that my surprise was the car. I was really mad that it was ruined. But oh well, I got over it. For the rest of the time at the party I just wanted to leave so I could go see my car. It's a cute little red car, a '96 Chevy Geo. Before I can actually drive it, there's some work that needs to me done and it needs to be inspected and registered. In about a week it should be ready!!!! It was a very special day; it felt like my birthday or like Christmas all over again. :)

  2. Wow Natalady! You got a car! I wish I could get a car but I still got to wait. I never knew that you had gotten into a car accident, a lot of people got into car accidents around that time too. But I'm glad you're okay and that you got a new car! You better work!
