Ok so it has been over a month since I blogged but in my defense a lot has happened.  So this will be part one of the catch up posts. 

I (along with a car full of people) got rear ended by a 16 year old playing with his ipod.  Well, technically I can't be sure he was playing with his ipod but he did tell the cop that he just looked up and I was stopped and then BAM!!!  I would never have seen it coming if it weren't for the fact that my brother was turned around looking backwards and said "That car's not gonna stop."  I glanced to my mirror as the kid hit us and knocked us in to the car in front.  And we're not talking a little fender bender here. We're talking smashed rear end, rear doors won't close, $8,083++ kind of damage.   The people at the body shop we're like, "You got hit hard." NO KIDDING! 

I got to take a trip to the emergency room because of it.  They gave me a neck brace.  It's really not funny at all because I still have neck and back pain when I have to sit staring down for long periods of time.   This is only a small slice of what's been happening.  More to come later...
