Luck of the Irish….or not?

Today has been a very odd day for me. I started off this morning by knocking the glass shower door completely off. I don’t even know how I did it, because I only bumped it slightly with my knee and I didn’t even get a bruise (those of you who know me, know I bruise like a peach!). But off it came crashing down to the ground hitting the wall and scratching the linoleum with one fell swoop. The worst part was that Sim thought I killed myself or something and ran in I swear before the door even hit the floor. He was pretty shook up all morning. Opps!

Then Simeon and I went to lunch over at Gustav’s by Lincoln Tower and had some lovely food (complete with green beer for St. Patrick’s Day!) and just enjoyed each others company. It was very nice. Sim was totally flirty and we just laughed through the entire lunch (“Is it twitching now?” “No.” “How about now?”). Then as I was pulling out of the parking lot, I paused to turn right onto Greenburg Road to let a pedestrian cross the street. Just as I stepped on the gas to drive forward I heard this great screeching and crunching metal. I looked in my rearview mirror as I pulled away to see that the car RIGHT BEHIND ME had just had its front fender ripped off by the car behind them trying to drive past. I couldn’t believe it. I was THIS CLOSE to that being me in the crumpled car. I guess this goes to show that those drivers in the Lincoln Tower parking lot really are crazy (except you Carole darling, you are an angel). I did have my suspicions.

Now to finish off my St. Patty’s day, I plan to have a nice calm movie night with Erin while Simeon is at the CFUG meeting. Do you think anything else will go wrong? Erin, honey, you better watch out….or at the very least bring your First Aid kit!!

  1. Just as an FYI for everyone, Carrie and I did make it through the evening without further incident. It must be my being so Irish that brought us luck 😉

  2. Nah. It didn’t break. Fortunately! I was totally worried that it would, but I guess they knew how to make things back in 1992!! 😉

    I have to say I did check to make sure it wasn’t you in the car accident behind me….you know, just in case. :O

  3. Oh my goodness! The glass shower door didn’t break when it fell? You’re lucky you weren’t hurt!

    And darling, I’m afraid I AM one of those crazy Lincoln Center drivers. Unfortunately.
