Odd week. In spurts, anyway. On Wednesday, Beth called me at work, I was busy so I sent it to voice mail and then I immediately got a 'please call me right away' text. Turns out she had been in an accident in the parking lot at Aldi. From what she was saying on the phone, the front end of the van was all smashed up and caved in, so I told her to get a police report and I would be there as soon as I could. When I got there, the police had already been and left, and it looked like some of the sheet molding compound on the front bumper was pushed in and the bumper was dislodged from the frame. Still perfectly drivable. She was all upset, but I got to working on it at home I was able to push the bumper back out again and get it pushed back into place. Can't even tell there was an accident. So anyway, no need for us to file an insurance claim, there's nothing to fix. The other vehicle (a pickup) had a scratch in the paint the size of a quarter, and it seemed that the other person wasn't going to worry about it. 

Beth and I went to the Komets game in FW on Friday with the Presslers and Parkers. Beth also picked up Missy so she spent Easter weekend with us. It was a good game and we had a good time, but the Komets blew a lead 3 times and wound up losing 4-3 in overtime. I don't think we've seen the Komets win a game in like 3 years.

Which brings us to this. Beth got a text on Saturday morning...from Natalie. She apparently has to move out of the house where she's been living for the past several months with friends, and has nowhere to go. She offered to pay rent if she could move back in with us, although I don't see how that is possible. So anyway, I guess we're not monsters because on Monday I am going to get a truck and move her back in to the house. And her little dog, too. For now. We're hoping for the best.
