I've been a bit frazzled lately having worked two 12 hour days in a row (I don't know how the lawyers and doctors do it!) on lack of sleep and less than inspirational work outfits. For work on Friday I decided to wear my cream coloured Anthropologie blouse (
worn here) and pair it with pin striped trousers and some faux pearls. At the start of my day my hair was down and straightened but by the time I left the office at 8 p.m. it was pulled up in a subdued Pebbles type clip.
A long day of work called for another underground parking lot photoshoot but this time I was having car guilt. I'm not what you would call a great parker (even my drive-in park jobs turn out uneven) so when I had to park on the side of the road I did so with caution. Not enough caution apparently because as I was pulling close to the curb I heard a strange crunching sound. As I was driving our
brand new car I winced and got out of the car. I didn't see anything so I thought nothing of it. I mentioned the sound to the boy when I got home and this was one time where patience was not his virtue. We rushed down to the parking lot and sure enough I had tore up (teensy) parts of the wheel's rim.
Me: "Oh well I don't see the big deal, it's not like I scratched the car's paint job, I'll just paint over the rim's damages with my silver nail polish"
The Boy: " You absolutely will not. Do you know how much this will ruin the car's re-sale value? It will cost at least $500 to fix!"
Me: "Fine. In a few years, when you decide to sell the car, come find me wherever I am
(see what I did there?) and I will give you the $500 for the stupid scratch on the rim!!!"
(cue me storming dramatically out of the room)
Author's Note: Do not get between a man and his expensive car, not even with your genius DIY nail polish remedy...
