Winter Blues
Today was a fun day. I went and looked at a house in Sandy with Linda. They are thinking of renting it. It was nice being able to go out and about with Linda. Plus she actually wanted to know what I thought of the house.
I then had to go to court. Mike and I had been subpoenaed due to the hit and run involving my car. For those of you that don't know, I had a very unlucky (although it turned into a good thing) streak in the beginning of June. I first got rear ended by a truck, then the next day at the collision shop, some guy backed into my car and left. Luckily they had it all on video, and the guy had just been in for an estimate on his car so they had his info. I didn't get anything from this guys insurance because they claimed Geico had already totaled my car, but oh well. I did get a pay off from Geico and the first guy that hit me so I was able to pay off my car and buy another car paying cash. So I got rid of my car payment earlier than I would have. It was sad seeing my car all hurt though.
Off Mike and I went to the South Salt Lake Courthouse. I was nervous because I am scared of Judges (thanks to Judge Judy... that lady is mean!). We went in and ended up going back out with the prosecutor to discuss the case before the trial began. He said he was feeling sorry for the guy and was thinking of doing a lesser charge. The guy was freaked out because if he got a misdemeanor, he would lose his Realtor license. The prosecutor wanted to know our feelings. I told him that I was fine with it. We then went back to the courtroom and watched the Collision Center employee go back to talk to the prosecutor. He came out and the prosecutor then asked the hit and run guy to go talk to him. They both came out a few minutes later and the prosecutor announced that they were doing the lesser charge so we were all welcome to go home. The hit and run guy seemed nice. He apologized for getting us all subpoenaed and seemed like a nice guy. Mike thought he seemed cocky.
The good part of it all was that Mike and I both got a check for $18.50 for being a witness (although all we didn't actually had to do a trial or anything like that). I think even if the guy knew he hit my car... at least he would have learned his lesson since he had to face the courts and the possibility of losing his Realtor License. I am fine with how it went down. I was not looking forward to being sworn in and having talk in front of a room full of people.
Well am I going to head to bed. I am a little bit depressed (hence the title). I am not sure why I am. I have no reason to be. Christmas is coming (and the goose is getting fat j/k), and I have a good life. I think it is just the Winter Blues. I seem to get depressed often during the winter. I am really not in the Christmas Spirit at all yet. I was for about a week... then I got over it. Hopefully I will get more into the closer we get to Christmas though. I guess we will see.

Not much to say
I haven't blogged for awhile... but I haven't had much to say. I guess I could talk about Linda's shower on Saturday. It was crazy! Lots of people came and were all crammed into my tiny little house. We played a few games and had lots of good food to eat. Kari was nice enough to bring Pizza. Jenny made cookies... and I got the drinks and veggie tray. I decided that I need a bigger house though. We were all crammed in my living room. There was hardly any room to move around. I am glad its all over though.
Saturday night Jenny, Jenny's Niece Missy, Linda, Dave, Mike and I all went to dinner at Chili's. It was fun getting out. I love spending time with my family. Jenny spent the night at my house and made me sleep out on the couch in the living room with her because Mike was telling us about the weird experience he had with a Duck in our bathroom being moved twice when No one was home but him. That was the first time I slept on my couch... and it wasn't too bad. I survived. The kids woke up a few times during the night but we made it thru the night. Sunday Linda made My favorite dinner so I went and spent time at her house. Jenny was there as well. Over all, it was a good weekend!
Yesterday I got most of Mike's Christmas Presents ordered. All I have to buy now is his stocking stuffers. I am very relieved to have that done with. He is a hard person to shop for. He couldn't even come up with a wish list for me. I had to figure it all out on my own.
Today My car made me mad. It overheated on me. It was only like 20 degrees outside but by the time I got to work it was overheating really bad. The needle was pegged as high as the gage would go. I was scared I was going to blow my engine but I made it ok. The way home the car ran just great.... like nothing had happened this morning. I wish my car would stop giving me such a headache. It is probably acting up because it is upset that most of the other mustangs get to stay in the garage... it is one that has to sit outside in the cold all night. I would act up too if I were in it's shoes (or shall I say tires). If only it understood that the more it acts up... the closer it gets to the crusher. I am kidding, I dont think I would have the heart to send it to the crusher.
Anyways... not a whole lot has happened the past week as you all can tell. Oh!!! I should mention the Mustang Club Christmas part on Friday night. Well more so the events before and after the party. On the way there Mike and I were stuck in bad traffic on the free way. It took us an hour to go 6 miles. It sucked! There was an accident but I think they had it pretty well cleaned up by the time we went past it. Then on the way home from the party we passed the accident that happened on 6200 S and Redwood Rd. It was bad. I have never seen cars flipped upside down and sideways like that. I felt bad. I didn't know what had happened... but I had a good idea that someone had died. It really got to me seeing that. It makes me realize that I, or someone I love, could be gone in a matter of seconds. When Mike and I got home... I just asked him to hold me and not let go. I told him how scared I am to lose him. Not lose him in the sense of him leaving me for someone else, or us breaking up. But to lose him to death. I don't know how I could handle that. It does make me thankful for what I have. My life is better than I could have ever dreamed it to be. I feel like I am the luckiest person alive to have the husband that I have. I could not ask for me.
