There was the one in the late 70's where my teenage friend thought she'd drive me home from a bonfire party in the desert and crashed into a car that had been abandoned on the side of the dirt road.
There was also the Friday the 13th in the early 80s. The same friend drove us through an intersection and plowed into a car that was pulling out of a parking lot.
I'm not sure if the roll-over accident on a deserted road somewhere on the Navajo Reservation was on Friday the 13th, but it was the same driver...
My first year away from home, there was the double date I went on with three people I barely knew. After the driver missed a turn in the road and flew over some train tracks, the car came to an abrupt stop-- barely escaping a telephone pole.
You can imagine why the "more mature" me regards this day with a little respect.
I don't consider it an "unlucky" day, because how lucky could one person get? I'm still here.
One of you

a very lucky day...

Tara's View Of The World
Tara's View Of The World
Congratulations!
If any of you know Tara up in Canada, I'm sure there are no hard feelings here. She's a pastor's wife who hasn't always been treated as kindly as you'd expect people to treat their Pastor's wife. She's recently moved house--while suffering a back sprain-- because their new landlord (just moved to a new town a few months ago) sold the house out from under them. She's got three beautiful (and very active) children and a loving husband. Having met her through our blogs a few years ago, I sincerely consider her my friend. Congrats again Tara, you deserve a little pampering!
Thank you everyone for playing. Two chunks of advice:
- Try this facial. Muddy H2O Chocolate or Chocolate Blueberry. You can buy single packs and there are retailers all across the U.S.
- Never ride in a car with reckless teen. Ever. And if you're stupid enough to do it once, certainly never do it again. and again. and again.
My Ky is now Miss PB's new friend:)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Tara! :D
And I have to agree with her comment, Miss Ky is such an adorable little cutie. Look at that smile!! I enjoyed the video too.
Stuff happens, Friday the 13th or not. Don't give weight to superstition. I hope you don't mind me saying this. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt IS lucky for you!
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is on a 13th. The best ones have always, ALWAYS been on Friday!
My brother was born on Friday the 13th. I always said that explained a lot about him. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, CONGRATS to Tara!!! I'm going to have to go say HI and give her a cyber hug based off your glowing reviews. SHe sounds like a terrific person who truly deserved to win.
AND, I'm SO proud of you Jeri!!!! You kept it down to one winner.
Oh, and lest I forget. (gush) Miss Ky is SO DANGED ADORABLE!!!!!! Loved the video. What a sweet way to announce your winner.
OH, and my Ashley said to tell you to avoid getting into cars with that particular person ever again.(and I think I agree!)
third times a charm? eek.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm a mistreated pastor's wife, too. oh, ok, i'm happy for Tara. grumble, grumble.
What a cute video! Congrats Tara!
ReplyDeleteDangit! I wanted that mud!
ReplyDeleteAs for your lucky Friday the 13ths... I would say riding WITH YOU in a car on that day would be as close to an insurance policy as you can get. But it really boils down to your perspective, doesn't it? The glass half full vs half empty and all that?
Glad you're still with us Jeri. The Blogosphere would be very very boring if you weren't such a lucky gal.
Oh what fun! Congratulations, Tara!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, why did you continue to let that friend drive you around? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteI had a very bad driver friend and I would insist on driving everywhere. Actually, she insisted I drive too. Even when we were taking her car. ;)
Alright fine. Sounds like Tara is worthy. I guess I'm not THAT bitter. ;)
Congrats to Tara! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be far more inclined to avoid driving with that friend than giving as much weight to the date. I'm glad you've been lucky too. And your daughter is just adorable. :)
She is a cute one!
ReplyDeleteAt first your voice freaked me out. We sounded strangely alike at first. Then you settled into you and me back into me. Oh, there's a picture of you down below. Scrolling...
