juanab's Journal, 14 July 2008

I have learned some valuable lessons in the past several days. I will not die without my vehicle. I can humiliate myself in the name of bad food decisions. You will always get caught eventually. These all were learned in the same evening. Last week I decided I needed to go to DQ. I drove to town and my vehicle broke down 3 blocks before I got there. I sat in my truck waiting for assistance as I had not taken my cell phone with me. Before I left the house I made the decision not to put on a bra as I was going through the drive thru and wouldn't be getting out. Allow me to share that this is no longer the attractive choice that it was when I was younger. The young officer who assisted me is probably scarred for life. The only good outcome to the evening was that I did not have the ice cream and that people will help you in your hour of need.

I always have to smile when things like that happen to me because they are often turning points in my life. Good job seeing the positive outcome from all of that.

What a great lesson! Haha! I am sorry that happened to you but I am a big believer in karma so this happened for a reason and the fact that you can see the good out of this and any other situation is amazing and that will serve you great in life!

its reassuring to hear these things happen to someone else besides me LOL Good job finding the positive points and hopefully you are laughing over it, at least by tomorrow, :). And, may life's lessons be no more "painful" than this, :)

You have no idea how familiar this situation is, made me snicker right away. Doesn't it seem that every time you leave the house without a bra all Hell breaks loose and you have to deal with half the town!! Tia

lol I have to say, it reminds me of right after I had our 2nd, like within a few weeks, and we were getting ready for Easter Sunday Church, and I'd just gotten out of the shower, long story short... I accidentally pinched our at the time TWO year olds fingers badly in the bathroom door... enough, that I was scared they could be broken and ran her to the ER. =S MAN! Well... I too HURRIED to get there, and only put pants and a shirt on, and "skipped" the bra and panties for quickness... half wet and putting on a bra would have taken too long for me, evidentially. However... I must have FORGOTTEN that I was STILL NURSING!!! I managed to hold her near me enough to have put some pressure on "them", but but the time I got us a room, I was rummaging through their drawers searching for anything, only to settle for some BANDAIDS!! lol AHhhhh! Glad you got help and all is alright. :)

btw... she was fine, they tried a splint that lasted a half a day at best and no breaks. ;)

Reading your journal was just what I needed this morning. It brought some much needed laughter to my day. Don't feel bad we've all had a moment or two like that in our lives. Thanks for sharing.
