first an mta (metropolitan transit authority (thanks for the info in the comments!) bus takes off my driver’s side rear view mirror on thursday. got that fixed immediately.
then this morning in windy rainy rotten weather, i am driving to drop off a gift and pick up my niece’s friend, and a BRANCH FALLS OFF A TREE AND ONTO MY CAR!
it was there and gone so i figured nothing bad had happened…
WELL…
although i am ok (which IS lucky and all that really matters)… look at my car! (notice the crack in the hood to the right of the busted light).
i think i’ll stay home the rest of the day/weekend. ugh.

UGHHH!!! I am so sorry. Not a great week for vehicles…
Stay home, and have a great weekend with your family.
a) I’m so sorry. That must suck. Obviously.
b) Not to be nitpicky (which is usually a preface to nitpickyness) but it’s the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Things will get better. Enjoy the weekend.
Yes, i do see that it cracked the corner of the hood also. Some guy in my hometown was sitting at a stoplight and a weird gust of wind came and a huge limb fell on his truck and killed him. Talk about bad luck…can you imagine just sitting at a stoplight and HUGE tree limb falling on you and boom it’s over? Actually, now that I think about it..not a bad way to go!
Have a good weekend!
Yikes that’s HORRIBLE! Good thing you weren’t in the car – and yep…be like me, STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your home is your castle!
Damn. At first I thought it just looked like the headlight, which wouldn’t have been too bad, but that sucks about the crack in the panel.
Definitely sounds like a flannel PJ, under-the-covers kind of weekend.
BUMMER!!! Wine and chocolate stat! Oh yeah, I’ll take the wind since you’re not a drinker. I wish you an uneventful rest of the weekend.
Not to sound like an alarmist, but things happen in threes. Beware!
I’m thinking good thoughts for you.
Take care.
It has been a rough week for most people and there Car!!
I had to spend a day trying to get my jeep Fixed. And spent 320 bucks getting 1 of the 4 power windows fixed on the Mercury
😎
It was very windy today..rainy YUCK..glad you’re ok..car damage can be repaired…
Lousy weather anyway stay home with the family.
Yesterday my daughter hit a deer and smashed her front quarterpanel and headlight and last night I hit the frame around my garage door and dented my front fender …NOT a good week for cars for sure.
Yes, you’re lucky. Tonight, hundreds of people are homeless in California because their houses were destroyed by wild fires. A tree branch fell on your BMW.
Are you freaking kidding me! I am so sorry Jen.
(((Jennifer)))
lol @ susand and robin’s comments… are you supposed to feel better or more freaked out?? ha
i
Jennifer,you know how you and Alexis get reamed by everyone about how spoiled and pampered you are???Well just look at it this way,how lucky are you to have such a nice car for that damn tree branch to fall on!I know it still sucks but you will be fine….love you guys!
Lucky we are lucky to live in the USA. Some folks in Vermont question the need to LEARN the Pledge of Allegiance they question the need to say it in the class room for fear of hurting the feelings of children that don’t want to say it… don’t want to say the Pledge ?? please Google Red Skeleton’s thoughts on the Pledge of Allegiance one may soon change their mind. Red who ?? just Google and Read the words of a true American
Charlotte: GET A LIFE.
Karma’s a bitch
OMG, you are so lucky you didn’t get hurt. A tree feel down in our yard on our winter truck . a four runner and demolished it last year. Hence, no more 4 wheel drive vehicle, pulled away on a flat bed. Amy
Awww…bummer Jennifer! I’m sure glad you are okay!!!
To Samantha, yes, it is unfortunate for all those people in CA and I am sure that Jennifer can feel sympathy for those folks AND feel bummed out about a tree branch falling on her car all that the same time. Its amazing that humans can do two things at once isn’t it?
Get over yourself. This blog is for Jennifer to talk about what is going on HER life. This is something that happened to HER. Have you ever had a flying branch come flying at YOU while you were in your vehicle??? Next time, think before you write.
Don’t worry about that saying”things come in 3’s. That’s a bunch of b.s.
Glad you are o.k.Take care.
Tell Alexis to update her blog. What is she out of the country??
Jennifer you are lucky! You were lucky that the bus didn’t hit you straight on and are lucky that the branch didn’t fall on you when you were driving. Oh, who am I kidding. 2008 has been sucky year for you and you should have one of those goodbye and good riddance 2008 parties on New Year’s eve!
“Get over” myself? How was my comment in any way egocentric? It was, in fact, the opposite; it argued for perspective. Having a branch fall on your headlight just doesn’t warrant Job-like machinations. Try employing a little critical thinking to your life (if you’re able) – you’ll appreciate the results.
What alternate universe to you inhabit? The fact that you could even compare Jennifer’s personal experiences behind the wheel of her own automobile with a California firestorm is mind boggling! Is your life so devoid of meaning? If she were driving an old beat up minivan would it be more acceptable to you? I’m sorry for you.
no I’m not.
Dear Samantha, please reacquaint yourself with a dictionary and the Book of Job, before the next time you feel like using big words and quoting ancient texts.
it is a bmw x5 and it is going to the body shop tomorrow.
i feel terrible for people who lost their homes in california.
and i don’t think it is my kharma that caused my mishaps this week… or if it is kharma, then i choose to view it as good…because i am ok. (poo poo poo!)
it has not been a good year…no. but as you know i fight the wallowing. xxx
The mystery: accident or coincidence?
Guess What you can’t do anything right on this blog…You were just making a comment and some depressed asshole thought he/she would put you down. Jennifer it is not your kharma, only a streak of bad luck. Trade the car in tomorrow and buy a really expensive one. Kidding Kidding Kidding
You and the gorgeous beemer will be fine. Poo Poo Poo.
Hope your weekend was better! Living in the NW I know how it is with branches/trees coming down….no fun!
OMG! WTF? It’s funny, but it’s not funny. Thank God you weren’t hurt!
Lock the damn car in the garage and dont touch it for a few weeks until this streak of bad car luck passes. 😛
yeah, i heard on your show that a transit driver took out your side view. last week some jerk sideswiped my car in front of my house, knocking my side view into a pile of leaves and scratching the etire driver’s side. they left the scene, of course. i got really, REALLY mad, then remembered that i was on the way to give a friend a ride to her chemo/radiation appointment. i’m still mad, after all IT’S MY CAR that some jerk took out and left for dead, but grateful, too, that it’s just my car.
Just because there are people homeless in CA and children starving in Africa and soldiers dying in Afghanistan doesn’t mean it doesn’t also suck that a tree branch fell on your car. Now, if you blogged about how your life sucks more than anyone else’s…yeah, that would be really annoying to read because there are bigger things going on in the world. It’s okay to say you had back luck – because you did! Just because you weren’t killed by a tree branch doesn’t mean you didn’t have a bad week!
I have a new Beemer too – and the side mirrors can be folded in with a push of a button if you are going to have to park in tight spaces. You can’t while driving near a bus I don’t think 🙂
There are those folks who do love to inflict a little harm on certain cars. We had a guy in town intentionally keying Hummers and some kid had motion-triggered cams put into the mirror – and that’s how the caught the 72-year old perp.
Wow! well take these as signs and be very alert when driving and everything else. I think someone is trying to tell you something…
Be alert,drive careful!
Hey jenny Jennifer Hutt
LUCKY?
A bus ripped off the irror a branch fell on the car that is NOT lucky the third thingy may not be so small..

Who were you thinking of?
If you said this:

psychic prediction of mine
and they will have a boy and name him GWB Obama
Karma? Are they freaking kidding?!?! I know some serious assholes who really deserve bad karma and Jennifer is not one of those people! After everything thats gone on in Jen’s life this past year and some idiot has the balls to call this karma?!?! What a douche!
That’s not your hood that’s cracked, it’s your fender.
That car may be a defective CHRISTINE sorta?
attracting bad vibes?
When is your vacations for NOV & Dec?
Please post here ladies….so we know what’s a goin on k?
Oh no! That’s a raw deal. At least it was an act of Mother Nature and not the work of some jerky person – some fendor repair and you’ll be all set 🙂

Please, please blog again. Blog enough to get rid of that horrible steak burger pic. It grosses me out every time I check your blog for new stuff!
I’m glad that you are okay and that’s all that matters. You know that. The car will get fixed. LOVE your show…you and and Alexis ROCK..you bring a fresh vibe and personality to TV and the radio that’s been missing- Esp for the female age 30-45 demographic- we NEED your insight. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Until last year, I had never been in a car accident. THEN, I was hit 4 times in one year. At first I thought that my car was jinxed, but after being side swiped by a tractor trailer (while driving 70 mph and he did not stop!) and then hitting a deer (also driving around 70 mph), I decided that my car was lucky, because I was not hurt in any of the accidents. It is such a pain getting your car fixed. I was so embarrassed the 4th time I brought my car in to the body shop; I bribed them with Krispy Kreme doughnuts. They even gave me a frequent shopper discount. A car can be repaired or replaced, your health and safety is much more important.
Oh, poor baby….boo hoo..how sad…wonder what’s happening in Iraq….
Do not be afraid to drive now…Oh well maybe just a bit?
Maybe you are attracting negative KARMA?
If you were driving along and thought Gee I hope nothing happens to me today then BOOM!
It did ..do not think bad thoughts…
turn on some classical music while you drive…
I used to while i was behind busses and all…
time flies when that crap is on…
For Christmas get the Christmas DVD by BOSTON POPS
You need some good bumper tunes on the show during the HOLIDAY anyway…
I discovered Alexis and you on the FLN
and i love the show, I am at home along on the nights it is on here and I laugh out loud. I have told everyone I know about the show and tell them the whole program almost word for word. BUT I wish you had some new material, I have seen the same ones about 4 or 5 times. Please find some more material from Martha Stewarts videos quick. Keep up the good work. Oh Jennifer your laugh is additive.!!!!
even when we don’t want to, we eventually get back up, dust ourselves off and continue to march forwards. keep making her proud…….
Cyber bullies, I’m through, enough said.
Jenny, so sorry to see that. I keep telling my wife to be careful while she is in Maine. Ever see what a moose can do to a car?
Be well.
