A tribute to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

I have my own forum for women.  It was started 5 years ago, give or take.  Our motto was one of the first orders of business as we upgraded to a better cyber “neighborhood” and got some tricked out software.  It reads:

 

“Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History . . . . “   

attributed to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. 

What a powerful lesson it has been for me to learn what the rules are so that I know which ones to break, how to break them and when they should be broken.  It is a lesson that I wish to perfect and someday pass on to my daughter. . . .

Mommy had a wreck this morning. . .

I have never had a wreck . . . with a real other driver . . . . on a real road . . . . traveling at 45mph.  I have only hit deer.  Uninsured deer.  

It was my fault.  Actually it was the fault of the turd that PUT ON BRAKES TO CHANGE LANES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST ROADS IN MY CITY.  That car was in front of the dude I hit.  Dude was able to keep from hitting SHYTE for brains b/c SHYTE for brains got in the other lane in time, but not in time for me to avoid hitting dude. 

He was ok.  His car was ok and prolly only needs a bumper replaced.  My car and my head didn’t make out so well.  Since we were on a slight crest of a hill, the Mack truck only narrowly avoided smacking both of us.  Needless to say, we had to move our cars and luckily mine was able to be moved even though it looked a little like an acordian on the front end. 

I went on to work as I am trying to save vaca/sick time in the hope that someday I might be with child.  The fact that I was dizzy and slightly confused for a couple of hours would have been funnier if I wasn’t working on pleadings to file with the US Federal Court in DC. . . .

Maybe they won’t notice . . . .

Update . . . .

there isn’t one. 

 

Welcome to my world. 

But, my pantry, linen closet, utility closet, hall coat closet, powder room vanity, kitchen cabinets (ALL OF THEM!) and my guest bedroom dresser have been purged and are clutter free. . . . .

Happy New Year!

God I feel old.
