Saturday Morning, I woke up at 5am to let Taxi out, with all the intensions of going for a run…
fast forward to 8:00am, I just rolled out of bed. Oh hum. So I didn’t get my run on, but I got a lot of sleep and it felt great!
Hubs got back home somewhere around 9am from a meeting… found me and said “Lauren, someone hit your car.” I was shocked and thought maybe he was kidding… turns out.. nope. He was serious…
…and I was screaming. BEYOND fuming. I may or may not have hit the bedroom door… just sayin’
Background story: The afternoon before, Rod was doing yard work, so I parked my car in our cul-de-sac circle, right by our house. The evening went on and we didn’t move my car in the driveway, no worries, everyone leaves their cars in the street on our cul-de-sac and we’re all nice neighbors and watch our for each other.
So now here we are, clueless as to WHO did this… no note, nothing. Just a busted up backside of my car. My poor car. Hasn’t it BEEN through enough? Every accident this car has been in, has never involved me. It’s been hit 4 times now and I’ve never ONCE been inside the car. It’s been PARKED.
*deep breath*
So needless to say, we had a clue of “whodunit”… but we had to wait around the majority of the day for the people to get home.
I went to the grocery store while Hubs waited at home… I love grocery shopping, I met a very nice lady that offered a coupon to me for an item I had and she wasn’t buying. How nice is that? I love kind people. She had this huge binder of coupons and was telling me a bit about couponing. I think I’m going to go full force into couponing. I have a little mini folder thing and I will have a few coupons from time to time. This lady had a system and it worked. She told me how she got $180 dollars worth of grocery for $20 dollars. HELLO! Anyone want that to start happening? Yes, please. So now I’m on a mission to become a mega awesome couponer. I’ll keep you posted on that…
I got back from the grocery store, had lunch and then we get a knock on the door. It was the hit and runner. Thank goodness they came to us. So now it’s all worked out and thank the Lord for insurance. My poor car will be in the shop again.
That evening we went to eat dinner with my mom and sister at Tommy Bahama…
I love this restaurant.
The food is divine. I ate all my asparagus & sweet potato before taking a picture of its beauty. Whoops. The environment is relaxing and it smells so yummy in there. They have this candle that smells like you’re on the beach.
After dinner hubs and I went to get some froyo, because that’s what you do when your day was busted up.
Self-serve froyo is genius. Who ever came up with it, is brilliant.
Cafe’ Latte & Vanilla with strawberries, happiness in a cup. 
Sunday, after church and lunch, hubs took a long nap {poor guy hasn’t been feeling the best} and I cleaned our casa and worked on the training schedule for the Nike Half-Marathon in October….
Instead of using a spreadsheet, I put everything into my iCalendar, that syncs with my iPhone and sends me reminders. Genius. I’ve found this is the best way for me to keep up with a training schedule.
And that my friends are the highlights {or lowlights, depending how ya look at it} from my weekend.
What did you do this weekend?

i had a couple of vehicle incidents too. thankfully mine just involved dead car batteries. glad your hit and runner fessed up!
Oye, girl! I’m thankful the hit and runner came forward! I’ve twice hit vehicles in parking lots (ugh). Once was ridiculously minor and barely even noticeable, but I still left a note and the dude called me up to thank me and told me he wouldn’t be pursuing any fixing (yay). The other one was worse – I hunted down the owner at Hobby Lobby by having her paged and she was so sweet (that one I paid for). =(
Ugh that’s irritating. Hope it all gets resolved easily. I use Google Calendar for my training (and all) schedule … that syncs up with my Android phone automatically. Very very nice! Now if I could just have the phone use a cattle prod on me to make sure I do all of my training …
I’m so glad that your hit and runner came knocking. I would have been fuming too; what a horrible way to wake up.
Having a training schedule is a great way to keep focussed; remember, it can change as you go along.
Hope you saw my Foodie Friday post last week, it was all about couponing – check it out!! There is a link to a coupon blog that helps you get started!!
Great to hear that the hit and runner came forward – makes you feel a bit better that there are some honest people in the world!!
Thank goodness the hit and runner came to you!! But still..couldn’t they have left a note or contacted you sooner so you didn’t have to be so angry all day? Glad it all worked out though!
