I was driving to work this morning on the highway, dodging cops like always, reaching breakneck speeds. About 15/20 minutes into my ride I changed lanes and ended up behind a UPS truck. Note: I don't like driving behind semi-trucks or any large truck for that matter because they kick up rocks that hit my windshield (which is really low to the ground), so I end up with a lot of rock chips--and there's nothing you can do to avoid it! End note. So I'm driving behind the UPS truck and we're going under a bridge and out of nowhere comes this bird. It just decided to take a stroll under the bridge until the UPS truck drove right in its path. The bird smacked into the truck and pretty much--sorry, this gets graphic so you can stop reading here--well, it pretty much split in half. Feathers flew everywhere, and I'm still driving behind the truck, just hoping to dodge the bird. Luckily the bird fell in between lanes so Beyonce did not get hurt.
The sad thing about the whole ordeal is that I started to laugh. How often do you see a bird smack right into the side of a UPS truck? Or smack into anything? Poor little bird didn't even have a chance of survival, and there's Katy in her car just laughing away at what just happened. Hand clasped over my mouth and eyes wide, I looked at the driver in the car next to me to see what his reaction was. I think he saw it happen, but driving at breakneck speeds doesn't allow a lot of opportunity to assess people's reactions. I tried to check out the UPS guy's reaction and he was just tootin' along--I don't think he realized that anything happened.
And then I just kept laughing . . .

Sad. I didn't know you laughed. You are a terrible person.
And I wasn't crying. I had an itch. That's all.
I love reading your blog - you are hilarious!
PS - I laughed too when I read the story ;-)
I bet the person in the car next to you told all of his friends that story + the part about this girl in the lane next to him that was laughing... He probably thinks you're an awful human, but I know better.
Katy - that is sad!!! I can't believe you laughed, but then again, I can. Sometimes when things like that happen, for some reason, it strikes as funny. Maybe it's a built-in reaction: we either laugh or cry, and sometimes our bodies just choose laugh.
Anyway - CONGRATULATIONS on graduating TOP in your marketing class! Way to go girl! Now you can grab the world (tiger) by the tail! WOOT!
So happy for you!
