An accident waiting to happen...

So visualize....I have just eaten at Braum's and now decide to get a delicious cone of wonderful ice cream. I look at all the flavors and finally choose a holiday fovaorite of Egg Nog (it is so good!). So I had driven us to lunch today and found myself in a dilemma. See I drive a manual and so it is quite hard to drive and eat at the same time (especially with an ice cream cone). So I look at my keys and then look at my ice cream and decide this isn't going to work. But alas! my boss knows how to drive stick so I ask him if he will drive us back (I mean we were only a block away from the hospital, WHAT could happen?). So we venture into the car and head off on our "long" journey. Everything is fine and then IT happens. We are stopped at a light under a highway and the car in front of us decides to slam on its breaks.......unfortunately the car behind us decided they didn't like that idea and kept on cruising right into the back of my car. Are you serious? That is all I could think of as our lunch outing turned array. But don't worry, only minor damage was done to the car and no damage was done to all the people in the car.
Put into perspective that this is like the third time this has happened to the Corolla. We have officially deemed her jinxed as a car.
Needless to say my boss was very sorry and I was laughing, the only good thing you can do in a situation like that.
Oh P.S. in case Mer was wondering what I had done with my delicious ice cream....I put it on the ground and left it.....I wasn't thinking at the time!
Hopefully today goes better! Hope everyone is having a great week and will have an even better weekend! We love you guys!

Well, at least it's one of those things where if you had been driving the same thing would have happened. Sometimes you can't stop them from happening!

I totally was wondering what happened to the ice cream - bummer that it had to be left behind but given the circumstances, I guess I can sympathize with that! :) Albeit unfortunate!
