Need a dent in your garage? I'll do it.

I have to give my father credit, he isn't as dumb as I may have thought. Slow, yes. Dumb, no. He FINALLY after 4 days noticed the dent in the garage. He comes into the house today, I'm napping and he goes, "It looks like you hit my garage, what in the world?" and it probably didn't help that I started laughing like an idiot and said something along the lines of, "yeah I hit it a few days ago. It's all good, you didn't notice til today!"

Then we went to dinner and he keeps starring at me as I'm driving and I look over at him and I said, "may I help you?" and he goes, "you owe me a new garage" and then I started laughing again (because I'm PMSing and my emotions are ALL over the place. TMI?) and he said something along the lines of, "I'm serious, how would you like it if I punched a dent in your car." And then I may have screamed, "you touch my baby, you die."

Seriously the dent to the garage is NOT that bad. You can't even tell (well okay, you can, but not at first..see example A) and it wouldn't have happened if he had given me a clicker to the garage. See how I just turned the blame onto him? Yeah, I'm good at doing that sometimes :)

So than I got home and I sent him this card and his response that he wrote back to me was,
"
you are not forgiven- no, i do not feel better..........."
Excellent. Just excellent. It's called forgive and forget. Plus the card was cute, it was of a pink donkey. perhaps he's not the sensitive type. oh well, I tried. As Melodie said on facebook, it's a reminder of me, while I'm in college.

Edited to add: He's leaving on Wednesday for Atlanta so he has to stop being mad by than! Also he's not really THAT mad, he's just slightly annoyed that I ran into the garage..just as I would be annoyed if he placed a dent into my bedroom door or something.

Today was my first day leaving school early. I didn't have to work and it was incredibly nice. I had a coupon at home for a free chicken sandwich at Chic-Fil-A so I went and had lunch there, then I went home and watched a movie. I was very productive today :) Sometimes you just need one of those days. I did manage to get to the bank and make a deposit though.

***************************************************************************
I realize that A LOT of you do NOT like Ann Coulter and that's cool with me. I'm sort of making fun of her interview on The View today in the next paragraph, so if you're offended or really can't stand to read about her, don't read on :). Just to clarify things, I don't agree with the majority of things that she says, some of it is really insensitive, however I like to read some of her stuff - just because I laugh at how ridiculous some of it is. That and some of her stuff I actually agree with her on.

I just found out today that Ann Coulter has a new book out. I believe it's called, "Guilty". Did anyone catch that interview of her on The View this morning? I just watched it and is it awful that I laughed when she started to make jabs at Barbara? You can tell that Barbara totally REGRETS inviting her onto the show. Also Whoopi Goldberg looks like she wants to Murder Ann right there at the table. Also was it really necessary for Whoopi to pull the race card? Um no. Also Joy pulling the Sarah Palin thing? really? Wow. Plus did she really think it was necessary to call the show a "Republican Memorial show" at the beginning?




I like some of Ann's views, however I do not agree with her that Single Mothers are bad for children. I think that the fathers who are abusing the mothers and leaving the children are the bad influence. I think that the single mothers who hire a nanny and go out clubbing every night are a bad influence. I think that the mothers who choose to be a bad influence around their kids and not show them what's right are bad for the children. I don't think that the single mom who is working 24/7 to make a better life for her children after her husband dumped her are a bad influence. I don't think that the mom who ran away with her kids from her husband is a bad influence. Those are the woman I feel are doing a great job (well most of them anyways). They're there for their kids and are trying to make it work.

I think Ann Coulter should have clarified what she meant. I still want to read the book however. I've read two of them before and they are actually pretty interesting and one of them inparticular made me laugh in every single chapter. Do I support her? Not really, but I find some of the things she says controversal and I like to see her point of things. I'm supposed to read all sorts of people's viewpoints, apparently it makes you a better journalist.


So that's been my day. Hope you've all have had a great Monday! Yay for Tuesdays.

Ann Coulter makes me want to punch things. But The View knew exactly what they were getting when they brought her on.

Loved your comment about the storage bins. Can't believe I missed out!
So sorry your dad found out about the garage....

Lee said...

I hate Ann Coulter.

I feel bad that your dad is taking this so bad.
Tell him this little story to make him realize things:
One day my mom left the garage halfway down and didn't realize it and backed out anyway. Smashed out the car window and bent the garage door in half. : )

I actually put a dent in my dad's car and he still doesn't know it was me... man, that was like 10 years ago. whoops.

hope um, the garage is ok. ;)

Ann Coulter, well...

let's just say she does for Republicans what Joy Behar does for Democrats.

Neither one really represents their side very well.

She has some serious conjones for going on The View, I'll give her that.

Sounds like Daddy Dearest is being a Drama King.

Tell him that he can get it fixed as payment back from all the present you bought your lil bro from him....


I was wondering why you wrote that on facebook and now I get it...You dad didn't notice it for a few days!

Funny story.....yesterday at work I was vaccumming and I pushed the couch to vaccuum under it and the couch hit the wall and left a HOLE in the wall! I mean-and OBVIOUS dent. I was all....oooohhhhh ccrrrraaaaappppp......

Didn't have the guts to tell them, couldn't cover it up with any furniture, so just left at the end of the day not mentioning it. Get in today and the boss is showing me something and we walk past it and she goes, 'oh, this is nice, huh?' in a sort of sarcastic joking voice and I'm all 'OMG I'm soooo sorry! I didn't have the guts to tell you and I was gonna tell you today and I'll fix it!' and she just laughed and said don't worry about it bc they are having a guy come to fix up other little dents and scratches around the house soon anyways so they'll just add that to his list. I'm so glad my bosses are so laid back!!!!

My answer: Just give your dad some Johnnie Walker then talk to him about the garage. Johnnie Walker solves all problems. (kidding....you better not be drinking young lady!)

Juliana said...

Wow...that's...didn't you buy all the Christmas presents for your brother and he didn't pay you back? And he's mad about a little dent in the garage? Uh huh.

Michelle said...

LOL! My husband dented our garage but he refuses to admit it! :)

Michelle said...

Ann Coulter? No comment! :)

Wendy said...

So I saw you on my two ABSOULUTELY favorite blogs (AMBER AND STEPHANIE) and decided to check you out, and you are really fun to read!!!! I did put you on my faves list and will be back, you are loads of cuteness girl!!!

Not getting into specific situations, I can totally see Ann's point here. There are a lot of single mothers who can't completely blame the father for the situation they are in. I think that the best way to avoid the situations they get themselves into is to start teaching young girls to have more respect for themselves so they don't go jumping into sexual relationships with these losers in the first place.

Oh girl you are so funny.


I sometimes have to assist one of the people I work with, with their electric wheelchair. I have to drive it for them sometimes and one day I drove it into a wall at a club house and put a huge hole in the wall. Thank goodness I had a sofa to drag over and cover it up.
