What a Weekend it was

I’ll try and keep this short-ish.
Friday I stayed home from work with a killer headache and some lovely nausea. I stayed in my PJs, watched TV and had a friend bring be lunch. Wonderfully lazy day. Although the cause for such a day remained an annoyance until saturday morning. And it’s tough to drive 2 hours with a horrid headache, but I spent this weekend in LA with the family, so it had to be done!
Saturday I chatted with mom over some coffee, and then we babysat for my cousin, a.k.a. the cutest human ever! She’s walking now, and she’s such a little smart beautiful funny pleasant little toddler now! She makes me excited to one day be a mommy to, hopefully, a great child like her!
Then it was off to meet another, newer edition. One of our family friends, who I’ve known since I was 8, just had her first baby 5 weeks ago. Little Theodore! He looks like a little greek god! I got to hold him, and catch up with his mom (who I haven’t seen in months). And I brought her beautiful flowers from this little place I’ve always wanted to check out..but now I can’t remember the name of it…
Anyways. Sunday was the interesting day…
First, I slept in until 11…gave mom a haircut and did her brows for her (which is always funny because she suddenly turns into a whiny 4 year old about it). Then we both got ready for the Mother’s Day dessert my aunts put on. That was lovely. Got to hang out with the kids and the grown ups (I’m in the middle of them all… the only one without a kid, but not a kid myself)…
So, we’re all having a lovely time, chatting, snacking, relaxing…when their neighbor informs us that there are 2 guys waiting at the gate because they hit one of the cars parked on the street. Which car, you ask? Mine. Great. Actually, my first thought was “oh well. one more thing…” but I figured I should take care of it, since, you know, it’s MY CAR!
The back bumper is dented and cracked and is now falling off. Not sure how it’s all gunna play out and how long my car is going to look uber-ghetto for, but I’ll let you know. Since you care so much and all!
The story is actually way more interesting than that… but it would take forever to type it all out… so, long story short:
These people hit my car. The guy gave me an ID number, no DL…but the neighbor saw it happen and a girl was driving…So, the gay couple from next door joins the motley crew (made up of me, my mom, and the “suspects”-3 mexican guys in fancy clothes, one of their wives, and a European girl) to back me up and make sure the “suspects” are giving me the true story and the right info. Which they weren’t. They all got offended. I stood there dumbfounded. We got some more info…and dispersed.
Wow. I wish we could have had it all on video…It was a classic moment in my life.
They seem like nice enough people though…should be interesting.
How was your weekend? Any major events? Dents? Cracks?
