APRIL FOOLS!

Ok so this blog has nothing to do with April Fools :) I tried to trick Adam into thinking I was pregnant today, which lasted about 5 seconds till I gave in... that was my only sad attempt today.

ANYWAY! We have started planning our trip! YAY! So we have decided on Florida! I really need to be on a beach, and soon. We are flying into Tampa and going to be in FL from April 26-May 2! I am super excited! So far, all we have planned are the plane tickets and a rental car... the rest of the trip is all up in the air! We might drive down to Disney World and go to the Epcot center for a day or something, but we haven't decided yet. So any of you FL experts, let us know where we need to go!

The plan so far, is to spend some time in St. Petersburg. It is supposed to be very chill and relaxing with beautiful beaches: Sounds just like what the doctor ordered! :)


So I got in a car accident today... Let me start by telling you, NO I am not April Foolsing you, although you might think so at the end of the story. So... I had some homework to do on campus so I decided to take the 11:30 bus instead of the 12:37 bus. So I get on the bus and everything is just normal as usual (normal for public transportation I guess lol). I was on the phone and all of a sudden I go sliding across the seat of the bus until I run into the pole seperating me from the next section. I was so confused! I guess we had hit something (we were going 50 mph by the way), so the bus pulled over on to the side of the road. I was a little frazzled at this point and decided to find out what happened...

So on the side of the road there is a milk delivery van with a pink posterboard in the windshield that says "Free Chocolate Milk." Appearantally, two of the cars ahead of us saw the sign and decided that they NEEDED free chocolate milk and slammed on thier brakes, without using their blinker of course. The car behind them panicked and slammed on her brakes as well and then I guess a giant bus can't stop on a dime when going 50 mph and we rearended her.

SO, we were stuck on the bus for quite some time while the bus driver waited for her supervisor to come and take care of the situation. Needless to say, instead of being an hour early to school, I arrived right on time for my class, without doing all of the homework I needed to finish.

Can you believe it? LOL the things people will do for something free. And then, believe it or not, while we were sitting there waiting, the chocolate milk guy had the nerve to ask the bus driver to move the bus because we were blocking his free chocolate milk sign.


So this week has been a little nuts this far... By the way! Adam and I helped rescue two puppies walking in the middle of a busy street yesterday! They are beautiful! Legally, we had to take them to animal control for 3 days, but if no one claims them, we may get to adopt them! Cross your fingers! I need them!

Okay...first of all, why in the world was the guy giving away free chocolate milk? That's so odd! I'm so excited for you to go to FL! It sounds like a ton of fun! I would love to be able to do that, but fear most people would think I was a beached whale at this point! Keep us informed on the puppies! What kind of dogs are they? Love ya sis!

I hope it wsn't too long after we talked you had another bus come pick you up. I am glad no one was injured as well. The milk guy was really stupid not to smooth things over a bit and at least offer everyone on the bus one of his free chocolate milks...I mean really!

I've never known anyone who got n an accident on a bus. What an interesting story to tell your kids someday. Glad you're OK and I agree with mom - they should have at least given everyone on the bus some free chocolate milk!
