Car Wreck!

My hubby was in a car wreck tonight. No big deal, he walked away mostly unscathed. Sadly enough, when he called I sounded more worried about what car he was in, than his health. (I have a 2007 Mustang GT that is my pride and joy.) Please understand I was worried about him, but I figured if he had enough sound mind to call me, then he was probably just fine. He was passenger in our neighbor’s new “pride and joy”; a jeep that he had just bought from a friend. They were hit from behind while turning into a parking lot; both were wearing their seatbelts. The jeep was spun into a ditch, took out a sign that said “Travis Dr.”(my husband’s name is Travis), and then ended up back on the road. The driver at fault of course had no insurance or license.

All that said…it makes you realize just how quickly someone you love could be taken away. My daughter was upset even though she was told that her daddy was fine. She only believed that when she saw him walk through the front door. He has a big scratch above his eyebrow and a huge goose egg bump on his noggin. I am sure he will feel the after affects tomorrow morning, but I hope not. He will for sure get an extra hug tonight from his family.

P.S. We are glad that our neighbor, Jay, is okay, and the driver of the other vehicle (and his family) are okay as well.

Wow, that seemed like a tough wreck. Glad Mr. Travis is OK. The other driver (with no insurance) was probably a homo.

Hello everyone, I know I've told you all that I'm taking a break from Twitter, Facebook and blogging to put focus on finishing book #2 and #3, but I have to share with you another web gem. I stumbled upon a talented singer on YouTube one evening and his voice just blew me away. His name is Drew Dawson Davis . I was searching for music to help me feel one of the characters in my book, so I was looking for a particular song which just happened to be Garth Brook's Shameless. I know, I know, ew! It's country music. Whatever. :P Intrigued, I began checking out each of his videos and now I have listened to each of his posted videos repeatedly. They have become a musical muse for working on. If you get a chance, check him out (and no, not all of his music is country). Here is a link to Drew Dawson Davis "Shameless" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUdIbdb_hA0 Ciao for now!

Web Gems

I love to find fun websites on the internet. Here are two sites I found this week. This first one is hilarious and someone could spend hours just reading through the funny, interesting, weird, disgusting, and sometimes “down right wtf were they thinking” text. This website is Txts Frm Lst Nght (Text From Last Night). Now I know we all have sent a text to someone that once we hit the “send” button we wished there was a “retrieve” button. This website showcases text messages sent that I am sure the sender wished they would not have sent. Lucky for us, the gracious recipient of the text message thought that the world would be a better place if they shared it with everyone. Not only does it exhibit the uncomfortable display of bad spelling, compromising situations and/or embarrassing circumstances, but you the reader also get a chance to reply and grade the text message. Talk about adding insult to injury, but it’s all in fun and (I hope) no one gets hurt. If you feel venturous here is the

Short Story: Savior

Was it the blacktop road that made the night seem so dark or was it just her mood? Maybe it was the fact that she had been driving for hours and she was getting tired. Christine didn’t know which, but she did know that the further she drove away from her hometown, the darker her mood became. She didn’t want to move, but her employer hadn’t given her a choice…or maybe he actually did. The choices were to transfer or find another job, but quitting was not an option Christine could afford, so she boxed up her life and left her family and friends behind. Christine looked at the clock on her dash for the thousandth time and sighed impatiently. “Three hours to go,” she mumbled to herself. Tired of listening to the same CD for the last few hours she switched the CD player to radio, but static was all she heard coming out of the speakers. Her favorite radio station was gone. She knew it wouldn’t reach this far out. It was just another reminder of all that was familiar to her was being left
