Lane: So, what’s going on in the world?
Lorelai: Nothing…
Lane: Nothing?
Lorelai: Good. Nothing good. There’s absolutely nothing positive going on anywhere in the world. How could that be?
Lane: That’s why I don’t read the paper anymore.
Lorelai: You will mine. I am starting my own. The Good News Daily — nothing but good news every day.
Lane: Sounds good.
Lorelai: “No civil war in Canada” — big article. “Cars drive down road without incident” — front-page news. “Puppies — how cute are they?” In-depth exposé. And the subscription is free. How happy is that?
Lane: I’m in a better mood. -Gilmore Girls

This week has definitely taken a turn for the better. After a horrible Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday really cheered me up. First, the Law office called and said I wouldn’t need to come to trial after all. I did the happy dance all around my desk. Then, the insurance company of the woman who side swiped called and accepted full responsibility for the accident! More

Brenda: I mean, didn’t you guys used to have nightmares about taking your driver’s test?
Kelly: God, no. I passed with flying colors. I think some people are just born to drive. I mean, I think it’s in my genes.
Donna: Oh, please! You should have seen Kelly when she first got her license. For the first month, I felt like a crash test dummy.
Kelly: So, I had a few fender benders. That’s how you learn. -Beverly Hills, 90210

I’ve never been a big fan of Mondays, and today was a big reminder of why. I was on my lunch break headed to a wedding accessories shop to look for a guest book, and to a consignment shop to try to sell a few of my old dresses. On my way there, this lady pulls out of a parking spot, doesn’t bother to look, and plows right into the passenger side of my car!! I swore like a sailor and then pulled into a nearby parking lot and went through the whole insurance exchange routine. Luckily the driver was a very sweet woman who completely admitted it was her fault. We inspected the damage and her car had a tiny scratch. My car had a big dent in the side, and a scratch down the complete length of the car, but it was drive-able and the dent didn’t cause the fender to rub against the tire. I kept reminding myself that it could have been so much worse. Oh, and the topper? The consignment shop only took one of my dresses of my hands instead of all three. GRRR.

Marshall: A speech to talk a girl out of sex…
Ted: …yeah I don’t have any of those.
Barney: Discouraging premarital sex is against my religion.
Robin: Please? I’m her older sister; I’m supposed to teach her how to make good and responsible decisions.
Lily: It’s 2 o’clock and you’ve already had three Scotch and Sodas.
Robin: That’s why I need your help! -How I Met Your Mother

Losing the big V. This story is pretty cringe worthy. I would love to hear your stories. I can look back and laugh now, but at the time, I was mortified!! More

Root Canal Torture and Margaritas

Helga : Me, Mom and Dad are supposed to visit my grandma in South Dakota.
Arnold: Sounds like fun.
Helga: I’d rather have a root canal. -Hey Arnold!

This week has been incredibly dull and also painful! I had a root canal on Wednesday. It was pretty awful, but the endodontist I went to tried to make it as nice of an experience as one can have while be tortured while awake. He let me pick out a dvd, they set me up with headphones and I was able to watch a movie while they drilled away at my molar. I watched The Holiday, one of my favorites, and tried not to think about the fact that he was poking a giant needle into the roof of my mouth (shudder). More
