FIRSTS

So I've been MIA from the blog-o-sphere for a while, but I've had a hectic month to say the least. Not only is January the first month of the year, but it has also been a series of firsts for me as well. This month has been a roller coaster of HORRIBLE bad luck for me. I'm starting to wonder when my luck is going to turn around. In order to rid some of the stress I'm carrying on my shoulders I'm turning to the world of blogging to vent (how twentieth century of me, right?!). So here are my firsts for the months of January:

1.) First time I lost my wedding band...

On our 8 month anniversary (January 21st), Ed and I planned on watching a movie at home so I was about to wash my face so I could get all comfy and ready to cuddle... while I was taking off my wedding rings my wedding band bounced off and literally disappeared! We looked everywhere - under the sink (as if it had legs and could walk under there), in the trash can, in the toilet (as if it had arms and could open the lid to hop in), and we even took apart the sink and bath tub drains - my wedding band had DISAPPEARED! Naturally, I was hysterical the whole time and kept saying, "Why couldn't I have lost my engagement ring? It's our anniversary today; this is bad luck... I'm the worst wife." Although my engagement ring cost more money it does NOT compare to the meaning of my wedding band - it's priceless and could never be replaced. After 2 drawn out long hours of searching and crying, we gave up. Eddie went to go dump out the smelly sink water outside, while I remained inside - sobbing. I started to think **light bulb** maybe there's a ledge on the bottom of the cupboard and it bounced up there. While probing under the cupboard I noticed the bottom had an opening... apparently my ring is made of rubber because it managed to bounce off the ground and bounce off a ledge and land under the cupboard! When Ed came back inside he found me ripping apart the cupboard and thought I was nuts, but sure enough I found my ring so I'd say I'm a genius. Now, I no longer take off my rings in the bathroom and I bought this amazingly cute ring dish for our wedding rings:

2.) First time I got rear-ended...

After a long day of work, I'm headed home and I was getting off the freeway (stopped at a red light like a good law abiding citizen) when I was blasted from behind. It was the first time I was ever hit so I panicked and didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I was supposed to stay there (blocking traffic) or move. So I moved to a near by parking lot and called Eddie since this happened a block from my house (I know, right?). The guy who hit me, Victor, was really nice, but didn't have insurance. My bumper had some marks and my back-up sensor was broke; however his car was smashed from going underneath mine. I decided not to call the cops since he was nice and didn't have insurance anyways. We got his information because he said he would pay for the damage to my car... I just hope my headache and back aches don't last! I'm hoping that my good deed in sparing him a ticket will give me some good karma. Hopefully paying it forward actually works for us... that'll be a first!

There's even more, but I think I'm done bitching complaining about my life for now. Sometimes it is just necessary! According to the movie 'The Social Network', Mark Zuckerberg started FaceSmash or whatever as a way to vent over his break-up with his girlfriend and he's a multi-billionaire so sue me for venting on the internet too! :)

Heres to hoping I have a fanFRICKINtastic February!!
(I'm certain it's going to happen)
