No Use Crying Over Spilt Radiator Fluid

So my commitment to the two weeks hasn't gone so well huh? I do have a huge and bad excuse.
As many of you know I've had a Jeep Wrangler for several years, 2001 to be specific. I got her just under 11,000 miles and this Saturday night we were cruising past 140,000 miles until... sigh...... until we topped a hill and our headlights fell on a beast in the middle of the road. A four-weight black steer in the middle of the road on a dark night. Despite my best efforts to stop I'm afraid it was not to be. We hit with a large thud and the drive came to an end in total blackness in the cool of the night in the middle of a country road. ahhhh the adventure that is my world.
Thankfully we were not hurt and the state patrolman who helped us out was not only courteous, but handsome too! Thankfully my friend who was with me is from this area so we were able to get a ride home and call it a night about 3am. Not the adventure we were looking for, but another adventure just the same.
This week I'm waiting to hear from the insurance company and praying for enough cash to get the Jeep fixed or to get something that will work for the time being. To get past my Jeep sorrows this weekend I have a bachelorette party to look forward to and maybe a little automotive shopping. In the meantime, if you know anyone looking for a "blemished" Jeep with a lot of lovely memories, you know where to find me. I'll be the brunette with a microphone hitchhiking to the next meeting!

So you mean you may have to leave the jeep and get a different auto? OH the misery! What will you do? I might actually be able to hear you when you call from the car! LOL
