Sunday morning, Ron and I were out driving around to yard sales and flea markets

And we pulled up to a stop sign at an old country intersection (where there's hardly anybody around)

And we live in the middle of no where but corn fields and soy bean farms.

And we pulled up behind a p/u truck (so we thought it was) pulling a HUGE long a$$ John Deere bean head picker.

This thing is huge. It's about 3-4 car lengths long. And we can't see the p/u truck in front of it. And all of a sudden

It begins to back up. So we put the car in Reverse and try to back up. By time we laid on the gas to back up, that bean head whatever it was was ON TOP OF OUR CAR!!!!!!

The hood is all scratched up and dented and the driver's side head light is GONE! And the driver's side fender is smashed in.

And the guy gets out of the p/u truck, "OMG! I didn't even see you there!" I was like, "Yeah, and if I KNEW you were gonna back up I would've definitely done so a long time ago! But I couldn't see your tail lights!"

He said he had to back up because there was a minivan that was turning onto the street and he was afraid they were gonna clip him so he backed up to make room for them to turn onto the street.

Luckily, he works for a huge farming company (his boss was slowly trailing him in a John Deere Columbine and stopped to assess the damage), and their insurance is either gonna pay for the damages or pay for another car!! And if my car is in the shop, I hope they will pay for a rental car for me to travel back and forth to work in!

I'm off today (lucky enough) because it's "in observance of Veteran's Day" which is on Wednesday.

Then I was told at the company I might be the only one working for the two days (Monday and Tuesday) before the three days we'll have off for the week of Thanksgiving because for the price of taking those two days off, peeps around the office can get NINE days in a row. Because we're off the day before, Thanksgiving and the day after turkey day...including the weekends in there and if you take off Mon. And Tues. That's nine days in a row. WOW.

And then in December we're off nearly TWO WHOLE WEEKS!

But that would be bad for me...because that's two weeks w/o pay! YIKES!

So...

I saw two good new movies this weekend...The Box (that's so Twilight Zone-ish) and the Stepfather (that movie is based from a America's Most Wanted story).

I still can't wait for Twilight New Moon to come out and Precious.

Well...TTYL!
