yes family, yes, it has happened. your darling little whitney was in her first real car accident today. there had been a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain all day and i was on my way home from work when i lost control of steering and went into a ditch and some trees. however, i am alright. i'm sure i'll be plenty sore tomorrow but just the fact that i missed a telephone pole by about two inches on my side of the car is just a miracle. yes, airbags were used and i'm pretty much certain that the car is totaled. *sigh* it's ok though. life goes on.
