No More Random Saturday Night Dinners

We swim at my parent's house every Saturday afternoon. Every once in a while, we end up going out to dinner with them. The last time we went out for a random dinner on a Saturday night, we got in a car accident. Luckily we weren't a part of tonight's accident but we sure witnessed a good one.

We were the first car stopped at a red light going East. The cars going North had the green light and a few cars even made it through the intersection before a car coming West at full speed ran her red light and got T-boned, sending her through the intersection, down the street a bit, over the median & she stopped just in time or she would have slammed in to a block wall. Not only was it a red light, but cars had been at a complete standstill and she still went right through it! We pulled over, called 911, and made sure everyone was OK and thankfully, everyone seemed fine. The driver at fault immediately admitted that she was on her cell phone & was not paying attention at all. These accidents scare me to death ~ there are way too many people on the road that aren't paying attention at all. Sooner than later cell phones need to be banned from cars because too many people cause pretty severe accidents.

We were very lucky to have escaped harm in this accident. We all looked at each other and thought...."maybe our luck isn't so good on these random Saturday night dinners." Next time we'll have pizza delivered.

This comment has nothing to do with your post (although VERY SCARY). I was checking out your other friends pages and those twins are to die for!! That mom has sooo many cute pictures of them set up in little poses and great photography. What a fun set of girls to have.

Did I just admit to being a nosey snoop?

Yes, Anya, I believe you did. Reading Lindsay's friends blogs (the ones you don't know) is a pretty funny passtime. However, should you have a set of twins, I guess you'll have some great photography ideas.

I don't see anything wrong with being a "nosey snoop". You never know who you will know unless you look, right? Plus, other people have some fun ideas so snoop away. :)

I was looking at addison & mackenzie-such cute pictures. But I also saw Kelsey's little twins too- she is from high school right? What was her maiden name?

Seeing a bad accident or any accident at all surely dampens the mood...Thanks for the post that reminds all of us to be better drivers!
