Election of '08

Wooot today was Election Day =D!!! I went to school dressed in red white and blue, it was cool. We had mock elections also at school to where everyone could vote. Turns out that Barack Obama won for president at school and Nancy Gallagher (Meredith's Mom) won for district judge! I went to work and decided to park further out that way people that came to vote wouldn't park next to me and ding my car up. It was hilarious, Kyle lost a bet with one of our patrons, who is a State fan, that Michigan would beat State. So as a result Kyle had to wear a Michigan State shirt all day while he worked. Every time someone that liked state that knew Kyle hated state they would tease him about it and he would turn bright red!! Later Brian came out and asked if I knew what was going on down by the river because there was a policeman walking around down there and there was kind of a group of bystanders watching from the sidewalk. I said I had no clue and just kept working. Well around 6:20p.m. I was working on typing up slips for Brian when a cop came in. I first thought that he just wanted to ask questions and see if we seen anything or whatever. He asked me if I knew so and so, which was my Mom!!! First thought that came to my mind was, what happened to her?! or is it Ryan?!..so I was like yeah that's my Mom. He was like,"OK, so you drive the car?" I'm like yeah its mine. He's like,"Well unfortunately someone backed up into it". I was like...oh..my..gosh! Of course I ask is it bad and he says yeah its bad. Images fly through my head of it being a total wreck and you know being un-drivable which made me all upset and I think I made him feel bad because he obviously picked the wrong answer, lol. Lorrie came out and was listening to what was going on and when I got all upset she was like it'll be OK Meggie!! aww Lorrie ^^! I went and got my license so he could look at it and went outside to go see the damage. As we were walking out to my car I calmed down a little and he goes,"hmm I know your brother, Ryan (from seeing my last name). I've had a few encounters with him". I'm like," Oh gosh yeah, haha. I'm nothing like him!" That made us both laugh. Went out there expecting something way worse that it really was. All that was damaged was there was a dent in my bumper that is really deep and about 3 inches in diameter, eep. Then my trunk lid has a big dent all the way across it and scraps all on my fender with chipped paint and dents. He had just missed my tail lights thank goodness. I'm going to take some pictures of it so I might post them lol. He asked what insurance company I have and I said Progressive I think but wasn't sure. Had to go back in and get my keys so I could open my car (would of been logical to do that in the first place but meh). He checked it all out and said that I'm good and that I can pick up a police report tomorrow. Said thanks (hope I did at least!) and went back inside where I debated on calling Mom. I didn't want to get upset again so I decided not to. The rest of the night was pretty quiet from then on and went by relatively fast. Drove my poor wounded baby home and parked her in the driveway. Went in and walked in their bedroom where I go,"So did they call you yet?" they're like uh...who? "the cops" no? "well...someone backed up into my car and damaged my bumper/trunk..." I got all upset again and it sucked! I mean it could of been way worse, but being this is my most expensive thing I own (bank owns it really but you know what I mean), having it damaged when I've only had it not even 4 months. I told them the story and everything and then Mom wanted to come out and see it. She looked it over and said it'll probably all have to be replaced. The police know who hit my car because from what the cop told me the guy felt really bad and called in. I guess what happened was that he was using his company's vehicle and it had a trailer on it, he was backing up and just saw the empty spots on either side of me and just backed right up hitting me! Hopefully the guys company will pay for it or his insurance. My poor car!!!! =[...

As for who won the presidency, Barack Obama and for who won the district judge, Stewart MacDonald. Not so big on Barack but we'll see what he has to offer. I'm glad that Stewart got it but also I feel really bad because that was Meredith's Mom and her whole family worked hard to campaign and everything.
