So now that I know we're moving, and because our house looks like a storage unit, I haven't felt too inclined to cook dinner at home. Really, why go grocery shopping for food that I will have to throw out in a couple days? Especially when there is good food for the having right down the road.
Mitch and I can usually find a good excuse to run to The Nile or Panera Bread, but now we don't have to look for one. We just go. And while we were out this weekend, we saw something crazy.
We sat at a table outside Panera, talking and savoring our sandwiches and soup when it happened. A limo pulled into the parking lot. Long, black, stretch. It pulled into a space, then slowly crawled back out and started to turn, just a little too close to a shiny new SUV. Oh, you can guess what's coming.
SCCREEECCHHTTHCHH.
Can you imagine what the driver must have been thinking? Oh. No. Unemployment looms.
Mitch and I watched as the limo pulled away to reveal the SUV's crunched metal bumper hanging crazily to one side, as the limo driver got out, as she grinned in disbelief and called her boss. We never did figure out who owned the SUV.
Crazy. But I didn't think about it again until yesterday, when Mitch and I saw the limo pass us on the highway, dent and all. Same driver? Too dark to tell.

It Was an Accident

Emily, Emily,
I am posting to this entry even though I am not planning to comment on this entry particularly. I figured you would see that you had a new comment on the top entry the easiest so here I am! I am so happy for you and Mitch! That is so exciting! I agree with Shelli, you should definitely get the Penske truck. Jeremy and I got a Penske and we had a great experience with it. We also got a car trailer for my Camry with it and the trip went really smoothly for us. I might add to this...WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT GO FOR THE U-HAUL! (It's a long and rather chaptered depressing story.)
When I read that you are going to be the assistant cook I smiled. I was thinking of the times we cooked. :) I have these vague memories that make me think that I should laugh when i think of cooking and you in the same sentence, but I have no real proof to back them up. ;) I remember you making very good food. Mmm... Puerto Rican cookbook. :)
Oh, Jeremy and I are doing good. We really like it out here in the great Northwest. We're getting a kitten. We're really excited. He's a beautiful little mackerel tabby with white paws, chin, and tummy. We're waiting for him to get old enough so he can come live with us.
It's so good to get on here and see pictures and hear how you guys are doing. I've been terrible at blogging for over a year now. Jeremy's setting us up a website though and I might do more now that it is getting going. You can visit! It's www.strangelikeus.com Yeah, yeah, I know, funny address. :)
Well, good luck packing. My advice...Mark your boxes WELL. ;) I'm still looking for stuff!
Hi to both of you from both of us!
