It was in the middle of the first snow storm of the year. It was payday for BOY1 and he wanted us to help him get his car legal. LEGAL EAGLE! That consisted of get check cashed and setting up a checking/savings account. We found out if you get your insurance payment taken right out of your account each month he will save around $30 for the first payment and around $11 each additional payment. We have been trying and trying to get him to get an account since he started work, which was in August. But saving money was a HUGE incentive for what we have been telling him was the 'adult' thing to do. Go figure.
Next on the list was going to the insurance company, then the DMV to get the title transferred and new plates for BOY1's Green Beast!
I had not even had a shower yet that morning because I had planned on staying home, writing and watching the snow fall. But NOOOOO, BigDaddy insisted I went with because 'We need you! We don't know what to say.' Are you freaking kidding me?!?! For any man that says he could get along fine without a woman is a BIG FAT LIAR! Ohhh okay, maybe you are not lying. Y'all probably could get along without a woman, if you HAD to! But when your woman is around why do you need to 'get along' or even think for yourself. Because of course, that is what we are here to. do. for. YOU. UGH!
I had my 'I'm smarter than you, I am a librarian' glasses on. My HUGE winter coat (snowstorm people!), my stocking hat, NO makeup, winter boots on. Thank the Lord I had brushed my teeth already. This is what I went to the bank AND the insurance company looking like. I felt gorgeous. *snort* I had had enough of feeling prettier than everyone in the public eye, so I told them to take me home before the DMV. To shower. And feel human. And sane.
Big Daddy took me home, I didn't have my keys so he was going to have to get out of the car to let me in the house and lo and freakin behold the back door was open about 6 inches. OPEN! In. A. Snowstorm. Son of a bitch. Someone, I am not naming any names (I won't have to, you will figure it out later), "thought I shut the door all the way". IN. A. SNOWSTORM. There was snow INSIDE of the house. Piled. The furnace had to have been running non-stop that whole time. Yet, we were in the process of getting this irresponsible person's car legal. To drive. With people around. In a 2 ton (or whatever cars weigh) weapon. Mmmmhhhmmmm. We are Morons.
They came home NO titled changed. NO new plates. NOTHING. Title's VIN# did NOT match the cars VIN#. WITF?!?! DMV said we needed an officer to come and check the Vin#'s and sign some bullshit slip of paper that will clear up the mistake. Huh. Officer came, looked it all over and the VIN#'s were the freaking same!!! The same. Only difference is on the car the VIN had an F in front of it. For Ford. DUH. F...as in FORD! Who knew?! Sure as hell not us. But ya'd think the Department of Motor Vehicles WOULD! Whatever. It's all good now.
I decide to go with them back to the DMV. Afterall. I'm beautimous again. And there was the whole going out to lunch thing too. Like I'm gonna miss that opportunity. NEVA...
We pull into the parking lot and we had wide lanes...we could drive anywhere. It seems not many people want to get out and got to the DMV in a snowstorm. Go figure. We walk in the door and the place is deserted only the 4 workers look up as we come in. I decide I'm gonna be a real sarcastic smart ass. By the way, WRONG MOVE! There is a such thing as Karma. And Karma decided to take me down. Literally.
I was SO effing embarrassed. One person asked if I was alright. Which I totally was. The others just kinda stared at me, wanting to flipping laugh. how do I know that?! Because if I would have been them I would have had to go into another room. The lady that helped us made sure I was alright. Then she said "You are just more embarrassed huh?" Ya freakin' think so?!?!? DUH!
The only way Karma could have gotten me any better that day was to NOT have done it during a snowstorm.
P.S. When you fall on your ass and you don't think you hurt yourself at all. You did. Just give it a day or two.
If I had worked there, I would have been cracking the bucket up! Then, I would have ran to the back because you KNOW they have cameras and I would have uploaded your clutsy ass to FB, Twitter, Youtube, Tosh.O and another site I could get my fingertips to visit.
