No mans Land

I, the dummy that I am, Completely forgot that yesterday was christmas. So I didn't get to go to the gym. Or do much of anything for that matter. Driving down the street was a like a dream. Hardly anyone was out, almost all the stores were closed, and the roads were full of slush, snow, and ice. We decided as a family to go out to the movies and see that new movie 'Marley and Me'. For those who haven't yet seen the movie, it is based upon a real story that was turned into a book, which is now the movie. A very charming tear-jerker I recommend seeing it because it's the kind of movie almost everyone can personally relate to in some way. After That it was about sevenish and since we were up north some everything had already started to freeze. The door to the sub was even hard to get open when we pilled in already shivering from a 2 minute rush from the building. lol. I must say I was a little worried for our drive home. Everything was super foggy to where you could hardly see the lines on the street let alone the car in front of you. And every few minutes you could tell we'd skid over an ice patch. With the rest of those Wacko's out there too I could hardly contain my backseat bashing of idiot drivers. lol. Finally after taking the long way we made it to the neighborhood entrance only to find about three different circles of cars stuck or rammed into eachother. So with a deep breath, extra tightening of seatbelts, and clenching of rails we stuck it in drive and fishtailed all the way through them and part of the field bumpin through a frozen two feet of snow. It was actually pretty fun. All the other sore eyed lame-os just stared as we went by casually. he he he.

  1. I get so nervous in the snow driving. Everyone here just treats it like normal- because here it is. No cancelled meetings, even with temps in the negative and a foot of snow blowing all over the place. I have to bum a ride to get up to my bible study in the hills, but boy is it exciting to have such a responsive one!
