Welcome to my world...

Yup, this is our nice truck as it sinks in the river...
If you're wondering how our day went yesterday, this should answer that...
You're probably quickly feeling concern that someone might be in it..., well, Jon crawled out the window and swam to his boat that was slowly floating away once the water filled the back seat.
You're probably really wondering...What the heck happened???

Well, first I married him....then he bought a sweet, expensive truck that we still owe about $20,000 on...then he bought a nice bass boat on ebay...then he went fishing at 5 am and due to the pitch black skies and murky water, didn't see all of the nasty algae stuff on the boat ramp...once he backed down and all four tires were on the slick sludge, that was the end of the clean new ford (too bad it wasn't 4 wheel drive)...Jon said he was trying to get it in gear and put on the emergency brake as the truck slid back farther and farther and then his buddy Randy was yelling "get out, get out", so he figured it probably was time to bail.

They waited around an hour and a half for a tow truck guy to come get it out - the whole time the truck was under water up to the dashboard and running. Nice...

After they got it out - which wasn't easy or cheap, Jon and Randy decided to go fishing anyway and Jon caught a big old 6 pound bass... Nice... BTW, for those of you who aren't married to fisherman, it is normal (evidently) for a fisherman to sink the truck and go fishing afterwards...I learned that valuable lesson yesterday.

When the fishing was over, we drove over to the Ford house and took a look at the damage...there was a crawfish crawling across the back seat and the truck stank to high heaven...when we opened the door, it was like a commercial and water rushed out...enough said.

Welcome to my world...if it isn't getting hit in the head with a golf club while giving a lesson, it's breaking your leg while doing tree runs on the snowboard... if it isn't showing up with a new truck in the driveway that I didn't know we were buying, it's sinking one...

Welcome to all the poor hidden women whose husbands are completely bland, normal and unexciting. Can we trade? Just kidding... even though he makes me crazy, gray and wrinkled, I still love him... most of the reasons I love him shouldn't be discussed in public...

Yes, we are insured and have gap insurance...pray that the insurance guy totals it... please!!!
