Got in a car wreck this morning . . .
Guy ran a red light, at rush-hour, at a busy intersection.
Then I mentally ran through the Hallelujah chorus of happy* since the other driver and I (1) walked away (2) seemingly unharmed, give or take some sore muscles and splintered nerves.
*I'm Episcopalian, so my version of this is entirely off-key and awkwardly whispered, with a sprinkling of gin over the chorus.
So is it very wrong of me that my first thought thereafter, as I stood quivering and slightly wild-eyed, surrounded by Austin's gallant emergency services heroes, was not about the apparent demise of my beloved Prettymobile (although = SUCKAGE), but:
. . . .
"AWESOME, this would be the day I leave the house without doing my hair or makeup!"
PS - If you're wondering whether this puts an end to yesterday's karmic taunting, well -um - yes. For now. Hmmph.

Sorry about the wreck, but so glad nobody was seriously injured!!
Glad you are okay.. That "dilemma" seriously happens to the best of us... :)
I'm so glad you are okay! This kind of goes along with my recent post on irrational fears! LOL
OMG!!!! Thank goodness you are safe!
Take some tylenol p.m, and call it a night. After my wreck I was so sore! Glad you were not hurt, stupid boys.
You poor dear! So glad everything turned out safely (minus the car wreckage)... I would love to hear your gin-infused Episcopal rendition of Hallelujah, since I'm a "Whiskypalian" myself...
Happy you're safe!

Perhaps a new Prettymobile? Still sucks. This week can kiss our collective asses. Seriously.
So sorry about the wreck... but the good news is your week can only get better after today... sucks.
Okay, Number 1: Thank goodness you are alright. Number 2: Hello, X5! Well, some good has to come from this, right?
Oh, dear. Very happy to hear you are unscathed physically and more importantly still typing.
Get thee a drink and some Vitamin Xanax! Rightly deserved...

Goodness! I'm glad you are ok!
Glad to hear that you are ok and nobody was hurt! BUT...don't feel bad about the no hair, no makeup thing. I RARELY do my makeup before going to the office. People here are lucky if I ever do it at all. I'm a totally different looking person on the weekends because I actually, um, put forth some effort!
Oh that sucks! Glad you're ok. And I'm sure you looked fine : )
So glad you are okay, and I think you deserve a shiny new car! :) Seriously though, are Austin firemen/EMTs cute?
I hope that you are OK...and that you were wearing clean underwear like mama told you.
Sadly, that would've been my first thought, too. Seriously.
Oh such a bummer. So glad everyone is ok.
But yes, I totally think those things too (like the time we had to go to the ER for something small and ridiculous and I couldn't help but think "why didn't I at least change out of my pajamas before I got in the ambulance".)
I am so glad that you are okay. Car accidents scare the heck out of me! I hope the moron who ran the red light had insurance.
I am glad you are ok. It seems like a lot of bloggers are getting in accidents recently!
