Subie Snafu

My poor Subie.

First it was the two tires that needed to be replaced. Then it was the rock chip in my windshield on the trip to Illinois for Ali's birthday bash. The perpetually recurring splotches of bird poo won't stop until I either shave down the tree that hovers over our driveway, or find somewhere else to park.

Tonight, it was sheerly an accident, but Subie happened to land in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Someone backed up out of a parking spot right into her. In his defense, she's fine aside from some cosmetic damage, and the driver did everything he was supposed to do post-collision.

ouchie :(

Fortunately for me, Becky & Mike just happened to be standing by Becky's car, which was parked right behind mine, and witnessed the entire thing. Rob was just a few hundred yards away and was able to break down the cost of repair to the kid as an itemized list for parts, paint and labor. The kid was more than compliant to get it all taken care of, and from what it looks like now, we'll be settling this outside of his insurance. All is well.

After settling details over the Subie, we all decided we were hungry, so off to VT it was.

yummmm!

I. FORGOT... that they had fried green beans here. Folks, if there's one food vice-slash-maaaajor-weakness that I have, it's fried green beans. It's become a tradition whenever we visit Illinois to stop at Bindy's for no other reason than the fried green beans. It was the only place I'd found so far that has gotten them right. How I forgot VT serves them too is beyond me, but I'm definitely remembering now. Haha.

this. this half-eaten pile of fried gb's..

It really is the small things in life that keep me entertained. (:
Here's a candid shot then of my friends trying to define the difference between Bindy's gb's and VT's gb's. They weren't exactly the same, so off they were on an internet quest to figure it out. Who knows if they ever did..

sleuths!

Tomorrow's a new day.
I hope you and yours have a great rest of the week!
