UGH! You ever want to kick yourself? I thought I was doing the smart thing by not waiting until the last minute to get a Mother's Day gift. Today I picked up mom's present. Then it dawned on me while I was waiting for DD to get out of school that I forgot to get a card and I didn't get anything from DD. No problem, me and DD headed out when she got home in search of the perfect gift and some cards.

So i am leaving the store in 5:00 traffic and trying to pull onto the 5 lane road that runs through town. The light turns red, cars start lining up when the man in the big conversion van stops and gives me the go ahead to get in front of him. This would have been nice.... EXCEPT for the FBI agent that was behind the van deciding to go on and take a right, which means pulling into the turning lane at the exact moment that I was pulling out of the parking lot.

Fortunately no one was hurt and the air bags didn't deploy, she had a big dent in her fender and I have a BIG hole in mine, cracked my bumber all to heck, broke a marker light, peeled the corner of my hood up and messed up my headlight, and my fender cover thing is dragging on my tire. Get home and discover that my front license plate flew off too. And the cop who witnessed it decided I was at fault, but didn't file a report or issue a ticket.

And I was so looking forward to my insurance going down next month when the policy renews since the speeding ticket I got 5 years ago has finally come off my record. Now this!

PS-> I love Saturns, but the whole front of the darn things are made of plastic! Trying to find the parts to fix it ourselves because if I file the claim with ins, they will total it.

And my mom called while we were talking to the cop to see if I wanted to take a trip to the beach this weekend in lieu of presents.
