Mr. & Mrs. Disaster
When I finally do get around to changing my name officially to my husband's, Moeckli, I think maybe both my husband and I should consider changing our moniker to something more appropriate, like the above title.
Here's why. Over the past 7 years, my husband and I have seemed to be in some pretty sticky, pretty lame situations. Here are some of the highlights:
My husband got all the insurance information. And we are waiting to hear about what to do next. Hopefully, things will work out. And luckily, Justin is fine and no one was hurt. But still, not fun. Ah, well, it's just one more disaster in a long line of similar events. May we have many more. :) At least I don't have to be Miss Disaster by myself. 8 comments from 6 users

Life is indeed full of fun surprises like that. I think we've all had them. I'm so glad no one was hurt in the fender slash. Did you guys get the other person's insurance info? Or are you having to use yours? How terrible!

It's a bit of a double-edged thingy: Justin got hit in the car with only liability insurance, but it would be a bigger pain if our newer car was banged up. We use the Civic a lot more, and we don't even have the geo set up for Em. Again, we have the best-worst luck ever.We did get the guy's insurance info, his plate, and his license #. We'll see how that turns out... posted by

When I first read this, I thought it said that the door was ripped off. I can't get over the irony of this happening in the parking lot of the DMV. posted by

One of the concepts I have to teach my students every year is irony. I tell them that if they watch me long enough, they'll get good examples of it. They seem to learn that concept no problem...

Dude. I thought my cousin was the definition of If you didn't have bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. I think I'd like to see you guys go head-to-head in a comparison of mishaps... I think he'd edge you out though by losing his car key, being stranded for a week, finally getting a new key made, then finding it in the back pocket of his work jeans -- he wears every day. posted by

Kelli, that totally makes me think about things my husband has been through with his keys. He's never done anything that bad, but just give him time...
