Wouldn't you know on the one day I need to get myself and three friends to the airport we get a winter storm advisory/watch/warning? Whichever one of those translates to "it's worse than we thought," that's what we got. Now my friends were supposed to arrive at 4:30 am for our stamping trip but as soon as I discovered we were in for an icy pre-dawn trip we all agreed to leave at 9pm and get a hotel room near the airport. This was a great move especially since it had started snowing around 8:45pm. So here begins today's list of things for which I'm grateful:
1. My husband, for making me dinner and bringing it to me while I frantically packed my suitcase.
2. That my daughter wasn't still crying when I left the house.
3. That despite sliding down my hill and ending up stopped completely backwards (a first for me), I didn't drive over the embankment or hit any other moving or stationary objects.
4. After turning the car around and continuing to slide out of control, I pulled into a driveway with such precision it would have made Mario Andretti proud (well, my friends were and that's what counts.)
5. After a harrowing drive on 684 I'm thankful I'm now in a comfy bed awaiting my 5:30am wakeup call.
Let's hope tomorrow brings smoother travels and warmer weather!
A city girl at heart, who wonders how she ended up right back where it all began....
