Rear-ended on my birthday

It looks like my birthday present for myself will be a new bumper.  I spent the day at the VA Hospital, waiting through a 6-hour surgery (successful result!) and my stepmom and I went home for lunch.  I decided to take the Freeway back and once I exited the 405 at Wilshire Blvd., I started turning right onto Wilshire but I stopped when I saw traffic.  A second later, “Bam!”  We both pulled over and the guy who hit me was so upset and apologetic – I really felt badly for him – but I can fix my bumper without involving him… no problem.  It was partly my fault for starting and  stopping. The good news was that my stepmom’s husband’s surgery is over, he’s in recovery, and there will be no more eleven-hour days at the hospital.  Good, because I need the time to chase squirrels.

    Glad you are okay and that faux stepdad is doing well. I would have loved to see the face of the guy when he realized who you were!

    Have a Happy Birthday.

    Do you still get recognized all the time even when you sneak out to eat Chinese….do they serve squirrel on Chinese buffets?? Just wondering…

      I go out sans makeup so no one knows me, although I do scare some small children…

    Oh No! A fender bender on your birthday, that sucks. I guess things couldve been worse. Glad you guys are okay. It seems with the wreck you had wasnt too bad and that’s good. Knowing that stepmom’s hubby is gonna be fine is great news, I’m sure. So enjoy the rest of your evening on your birthday, Jenny. Get those squirrels tomorrow. The apple tree is yours not theirs, so put’em in their place. Go get’em, Jenny!!!…

    “Happy Birthday” once again, Jenny…

    Happy Birthday Jenny!
    That’s unfortunate about your fender bender! But great about your step-moms husband. Any special plans for today?
