Today Was Better Than Yesterday!

I just stayed home all day today. Started entering business expenses into Nova, so I can do the dreaded "T" word next month. Nova has an area where I can enter all the little numbers needed for t@x time. The smart thing to do, is to enter things as they occur. And, of course, enter the numbers from each invoice, when the shipments arrive. Do I do it that way? Well, I have good intentions; usually, I do it that way for the first 4-5 months every year. Then I go back to procrastinating, and the invoices pile up, along with receipts, and daily mileage logs. Oh well, at least I try!

Yesterday was busy as most days have been lately. Did some deliveries, an appointment, laundry, and met one of my Reps at Starbucks for coffee and to provide help and training. It wasn't a big problem; actually, if she had read the invoice, she would have known what was going on with the missing vs not-ordered items. Simple: item not available, they substituted with a similar item.

After we finished, I headed for home. At the exit of the shopping center, I rolled forward just a bit, to see if/when the huge curve in the road was clear, so I could get on the road. Well, the dipshit sitting on my tail thought I was pulling out into the road, so she jammed forward, and rear-ended me! She hit me hard enogh to push the bumper down, where the tag was almost facing the ground!

No injuries, no damage to her car (big old Mercury) so no police. We exchanged information, and left. I got home and called my oldest son to come look at the bumper and see if maybe he and youngest son could fix it, and I could avoid the body shop. John got his friend Robert to come over too. Robert works in an auto parts/repair shop, and was able to just call someone and arrange for the right brackets to be sent over to his location this morning.

This afternoon, they fixed it. My bumper is fine now, and the cost: under $20. Except for the Obama sticker. It looks like it was hit; kind of smeared with traces of rubber or whatever.

Oh well; I'm sure I have a couple extra stickers left from the campaign. Maybe I'll just grab the Skin So Soft and remove the old sticker, and put on a new one!

Oh--speaking of bumper stickers. I was at Publix a few days ago, and saw the perfect one!

It said: wtf?? and had a picture of Palin on it! I want one of those!
