Me vs. stop sign

What a Monday. I was on my way to work this morning when I hit a patch of ice right as I was approaching an intersection! My options were to try and blindly make a right turn (couldn't see if anything was coming), or try to stop myself. I opted for stoping myself, which I did, but not quite how I hoped! I was HOPING the curb would stop me but instead, I hopped over the curb and into a stop sign. Oops. I was hopeful at first that maybe not too much damage had been done since I actually managed to put my car in reverse and back off the grass/curb. But, once I got out of the car and saw a portion of the curb totally gone, the stop sign bent over, and the road sign in the road, I knew it wouldn't be pretty. The whole front right of my car was pretty much gone! And a mysterious liquid had begun leaking. Sigh. So, praise God Rusty was still at home and was able to come to my rescue. 2 hours later, I got home and am working from home for the rest of the day. Funny thing is that I was Praying when I got in my accident! I'm trying to remember what I was praying for...I'll make sure not to pray for that again! haha...just kiddin. So now is the waiting game to see how much it will cost to fix my car! It could take up to 3 days to even get an estimate! Thank God for good insurance! I know it could have been much worse than it was so I'm praising God that I am still in 1 piece and that it wasn't any worse!
On to better news...we got 2 new chairs yesterday! They are beautiful! Sofa Express is going out of business so we got these chairs for less than we expected to have to pay for 1 chair. Have you ever gone chair shopping? They are so pricey!! They are the same chair but different fabric. At first I thought neither one matched my living room but then I rearranged a little and now the one with the squares is kinda growing on me. It has orange in it...I can't decide. The green sage one definitely needs reupholstered! If you have any ideas, let me know!
