I'd Rather Be at Terminus Still ......

[dragonsinger]

if hubby could join me there too :)  Finally home and glad to see Joe again.  But missing all my friends soooooo very very much. 

Of course, it seems I can't get home without some excitement in my life....




And that is what was left of my tire after it shredded/blew out at milemarker 14 on I-65 south in Kentucky Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at 12:30 a.m. :D  Fortunately was only going 55 due to construction and able to pull car to shoulder.  Called 911 asked for an emergency vehicle of some kind to provide more flashers besides my 4 ways till Geico could send a tow truck.  Wonderful woman who not only had all her flashers on but also helped explain to Geico the problem with towing out of this particualr construction section back to closest place as opposed to the Walmart at exit 2.  Turns out she's a HP fan and, Cowgirl, don't forget to send me your addy cause I am totally making you that Molly sweater I promised you that night.

Got tires on at Walmart (ended up getting 2 since if 1 went, I wasn't sure I wanted to trust the other one on the front as we got them the same time.

Terminus?  Wonderful, amazing, awesome!

Details and photos later once I get caught up

OMG - Muggle transportation is ick!

Amber and I were going down the list of peoples, who had gotten home and who hadn't. GLAD to hear you are at home now and that people were very helpful.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Yep, got back to Mom's 2:15 a.m. Tuesday morning (thanks to Jonathan shopping at an Adidas outlet store to return cleats and couldn'f ind anything to exchange them for till he finally found a bag) And then got here last nite about 9ish pm

Had such fun with you! Can't wait till I see you again...... did I mention there's a yule ball in OKC Jan 17th? :D

[jem-endured-fit.livejournal.com]

Having a muggle moment..............what/where is OKC?

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Oklahoma City :D

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, I guess you're just sort of cursed. But I'm glad it was just a tire while you were going slow.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Cursed??? Where's that Scorpius Malfoy? Don't tell me he's as bad as his grandfather? :D LOL

[shouldknobetter.livejournal.com]

Good lord, that is one heck of a blow out. Glad it all worked out.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

I'm not known for doing things half way ever :D LOL

[lindal-2007.livejournal.com]

Oh, no......! So glad you made it home ok. Back to the Muggle world again. It was so good spending time with you and your son. Thank you so much for your wonderful gifts!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

We had a blast being with you and Amber as well. And thank you for my gorgeous bracelet :)

[lindseymoongirl.livejournal.com]

I had a flat yesterday!
It was a sign that the world was not ready for me to return to work.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Apparently, Taz (the car) was not ready to return home either :D lol

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Glad you are ok!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

So am I. I think Taz got jealous cause I left him parked at the hotel all week and didn't take him out but once LOL :D Glad you both made it home all right as well. Getting compressed folders of photos together so if you could email me at the gmail on my card I gave you, I'll start emailing them to you tonight :)

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

I will get the card tomorrow, it's in my safe area with all the things I do not wan to lose, or you could email me at (my user name) at comcast dot net ;-)

Tell Taz Lucius will not tolerate any more jealousy concerning the use of brooms or floo networks at the cons.

[torn-portfolio.livejournal.com]

I had my own tire issues before Terminus! Oy vey! I'm glad you're okay though! ::HUGS::

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Oh no :( Hope you got yours resolved as well.

[torn-portfolio.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I got it resolved.

Thirteen-hundred dollars later...

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Owwwwwwwwwww :(

[freakyartychick.livejournal.com]

Glad that you're safe and sound :)

[ofenjen.livejournal.com]

Goodness girl! At least this one was repairable with a trip to Walmart and didn't involve bodywork!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Fortunately :D

[cauldroncakebkr.livejournal.com]

Good lord! I'm just glad that you were not hurt and could get it off the road. I think I'd go have the other one checked out just to be safe.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Didn't even check, just got 2 new tires, moved back to front and put new ones on back

[jewells68.livejournal.com]

very fortunate you were in construction at the time. Looking forward to pictures.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Pic spam posted :D

[elvenlaughter.livejournal.com]

I don't remember if I ran into you or not while I was there... did I? In Amber's room, maybe? Or were you the one I DIDN'T run into? Grr... I can't remember!

[in-motu-proprio.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD!!!! I'm glad that you're alright. How scary that must have been for you. I don't know that I'd have known what to do other than freak out and scream. I'm glad that you're in one piece.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

It helped that I was going thru construction so speed limit was lowered. Car just rode funny at first and when it began to lean, I got off onto shoulder fast as well.

First thought was Oh crap no

Second, since it was 12:30 a.m. and Nashville's 105.7 does Mandatory Metallica at midnite, was "At least I got to hear my Metallica" before returning to Oh crap :D lol

[in-motu-proprio.livejournal.com]

Well thank God for small favors, eh? At least you weren't going 60... or in my case... 90..ish. ;)

That is so funny that Metallica is what got you through. <3

[hardhatcat.livejournal.com]

Oh No!!

*hugs*

Glad you got home safely though

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)
