Say Goodbye to Dings and Scratches

So how is this for total randomness.  The local autobody shop sent me a birthday greeting today.  And not just any birthday greeting - but one of those 'ON  THIS DAY IN HISTORY' pages.  It told me my sign and my birthstone.  I was informed that bread cost 27 cents and that "Crocodile Rock" was rocking the airwaves.  Plus a whole bunch of otherwise useless but nevertheless interesting trivia.  Addison was especially fascinated by these factoids, and was duly impressed when I could actually sing a few lyrics of Crocodile Rock and I knew that Carly Simon sang "You're So Vain."
  
"Wow, mom.  How do you know this stuff!?"  
"Somethings you just know," I replied.

Now, I am not sure why this envelope was addressed to me.  The last time we used this particular body shop was to have repairs done on Douglas' car after he was rear-ended for the umpteenth time.  And since Captain Hunter's birthday is before mine, it doesn't look like he's getting a greeting.  So I must draw this conclusion -  they think I need some body work.  

How did they know?!! They must be totally psychic, since they have not seen my body lately. And I am desperately in need of some small "cosmetic" repairs.  Some dings here, a scratch in the paint job there, a bumper lift, etc.  

I am suspicious though, this was from Douglas Auto Body Shop.  Is someone hinting that they will be paying for some future "body" work?  I can only hope!

That's funny Michele! I feel the same way though. But it's true-motherhood has it's battle scars.
