Get to Know Me

Happy Saturday!

I hope your weekend is off to a fabulous start. Mine did not start out so great…

Yesterday, I got in a moderately significant accident on my way to work. I was not injured, nor was anyone that was directly involved in our part of the chain (yes…I'll get to that), but I can't say the same about my car. All in all I think I counted a total of 13 cars involved in the accident. It was on the highway at a point where the lanes merge down to just 2 lanes. My assumption is that whoever started the chain of rear-endings and spin-outs was traveling too fast when it came time to merge, thus slamming on his/her brakes. Twelve cars later, a traffic jam ensued and a large accident was reported. My car was "drivable"according to the tow truck driver - put only to a body shop within the area. So that's where it sits until insurance can come assess the damage. 

My poor Nissan emblem is gone :(

The pictures don't really do its justice, however it could have been worse. You should have seen the poor kid in front of me! (I say kid because…he was. He was on his way to his freshmen orientation at Endicott College and was so worried he'd get in trouble! Aww…) His car looked like the front had been put through an industrial-sized shredder. Totally totaled. Yikes.

The tow truck driver unofficially estimated my damage at a few thousand. We'll see…

In light of all this, I have decided to link up with Tales of a Carolina Girl for a fun linky for Special Educators. I know, I know…technically I am not one anymore. However, my current job still requires the same sets of skills, and my blog will still be devoted to those with special needs. So I think I fit into this exclusive group, no?

Oh hey, what do you think of my new blog design and button? If you hate it, keep it to yourself.
