I think the weather's broken.


Ah, Utah. You never know what’s going to happen. So I really shouldn’t have been surprised when I woke up to six inches of snow this morning. That’s not a rare occurrence, so I didn’t think anything of it when I left for work this morning. Now, only having my car a couple weeks, I’d never driven it in the snow. My mom has a Kia, which does great, so I thought ours would too. I have never been so wrong in my life. The only time I was able come to a complete stop was when I got stuck, which happened a couple times. I ended up in the parking lot of my old orthodontist, crying. I called my boss and told her  I wasn’t coming to work and all she said was “well, it’s not snowing here.”
Okay, that’s cool, but it was snowing so bad where I was that I genuinely felt that if I got on the freeway, my car would spin out of control and I’d hit someone, or roll my car and kill myself. Or that someone would hit me. That’s not a risk I was willing to take. My car was sliding out going fifteen miles an hour.
She also said that I need to stop calling in to work. Uhm, what? Today was the first day I’ve ever called in. And I’m pretty sure “I don’t want to die” is a good reason to call into work. Even if I lived through a crash, what I make at my lovely job wouldn’t even begin to cover medical bills. So yeah, not risking my life to go to work.
Instead, I came back home, crawled into bed, and slept until 2. It was awesome. So now I’m just hanging out in bed, wondering when my mama is going to bring Marceline home.
Speaking of my mama, yesterday was her birthday! How exciting is that?!... It actually wasn’t. Mama was sick, so she spent her birthday in bed watching the Dog Whisperer. After she got home from worl, that is. That’s okay though, we’re taking her out to the movies tomorrow night.
In addition to that, I woke up with what I call “Princess hair,” which basically just means that I went to bed with my hair wet and woke up with it crazy curly. Also, yesterday the boyfriend and I have been together for six months, Marcy turned 12 weeks old, AND my best friend who is in the Navy is on Shore Leave and got back home! So yesterday was a very good day for me.
Tonight, the boyfriend and I got sushi from our favorite place, we’re gonna go out for ice cream and hopefully we’ll actually do my sidepiece tonight.
That’s all I have for today, have a magically weekend!
