I had a dentist appointment today, so I had to drive the car. We have a Honda CR-V. I guess technically it is Shane's car, since he pays for it and his name is on the title. Anyway, I stopped after my appointment to get some groceries at the Harris Teeter grocery store near our house. They have an underground parking garage. I was very happy that they were having a sale on wine. They were selling Oak Creek Merlot for 3 bottles for $10, which is a brand we've had before and like. Also, you get a 15 percent discount when you buy a case. I got 12 bottles of wine for $34.
However, when leaving the parking garage, I failed to notice this huge column behind my car and proceeded to back out of my parking place and zip squarely into the column. The tire is the only thing that contacted the column, but it pushed in the back panel of our car. Suddenly, the wine wasn't so cheap anymore. I can't wait to find out how much that is going to cost to fix. Luckily, neither me nor the wine was injured. The spare tire is now crooked and there is a noticeable dent to the right side of the tire where the metal got pushed in. Shane took the news better than expected. I thought about not telling him and then acting surprised when he noticed the damage, but I didn't want to be too Lucy Ricardo.
