When Life Hands You Lemons...
...take some ibuprofen and make chicken fajitas anyway!
So, I left work a little late last night and was stopped at the light to turn onto 22nd Street, which for those not in the area, is a pretty busy street. I was in the far right turn lane and someone behind me honked for me to go. I pulled forward ever so slightly (because the person to my left didn't leave me any room to see the oncoming traffic) and I saw more cars coming. I stopped, but the person behind me didn't and hit the back of my car. UGH! Thankfully, she wasn't going 20mph or anything so it wasn't too bad, but she bumped it hard enough that my head flew forward and back again against my headrest. My head immediately started to hurt and I had QUITE the headache for the rest of the night. I got out right away and checked my car; thankfully, there was no damage. We exchanged information anyway, and as I got back into my car nad put my seatbelt on, a car pulled around us to turn, clearly very irritated that we were there and gave me the most evil glare! Talking outloud to myself in the car said, "So sorry for stopping since someone hit me!" The rest of the drive was rather uneventful and rather quick because of the holiday.
Once at home, I got a hug from my husband, took some ibuprofen for my headache, and proceeded to make chicken fajitas. We had invited Steve and Kati over for dinner since Steve and Jack had spent the afternoon together, as they were lucky enough to have the day off. Jack was a great husband and helped me cut up the fruit for our pre-bottled Sangria and then made dessert while I focused on dinner. The ibuprofen thankfully started to work and we had a great time with friends.
I forgot to take a picture of this meal. So many blogs I follow include pictures of the food someone prepares, I have to try to remember to do that more often.
