Speaking of Barbie
Posted by Missy W. @ 9:39 AM
I hit a car yesterday on the way to preschool. A parked car. That takes some serious skills. Luckily no one was hurt (well, nothing but my ego). So the time I was going to spend finishing up the Busy Bugs review was spent on the phone with the very nice lady from the insurance company. She was a mother of three and understood the sleep deprivation/screaming three year old combo that was working against me when that stationary object presented itself in my path. A parked car? Are you kidding me? I pulled over to leave a note and the only paper I could find was some recycled card that Sy had drawn on for me, so I had to use the back of that. I can just imagine what the owner of the car thought when they saw the dent and opened up a card to only find Sy’s name scrawled in crayons across it (note was on the back). I need to get some serious sleep. If only Baby G would get the memo.
So anyway, speaking of Barbie - Did you know she is turning fifty on Monday? She’s looking pretty good these days, albeit a little plastic-y. Do you think she’s had some work done? I had no idea she dumped Ken back in 2004 for a guy named Blaine! That name only makes me think of Pretty in Pink, “Blaine? Blaine? That’s not a name! That’s a major appliance!” What was Barbara thinking? After 43 years of dating, who dumps a solid guy named Ken for a flaky beach bum named Blaine? This old LA Times article about the break-up had me laughing.
Happy Friday. I’m going to spend some time trying to buff out the side of my car this weekend, what about you?

Two months ago, a month after getting my first brand-new car, I also crashed it into a parked car…while backing out of the driveway from a daycare interview. Ay…I feel your pain.
