Baby girl you da shit -- That makes you my equivalent
So who almost ended up in the thrid dimension last night while driving home? Yeah, hi, that's me. I have never driven in snow like that before. I was so sleepy and worn out and then WHAM... total white out. But here's where I'm dumb -- I'm so tired of driving freeways lately, so, I've taken on new routes that are all backroads. Liked it until I found they're a total death trap in bad weather. What up with the road commission foregoing such things as... A SHOULDER?!?!?!? There was so much snow, coming so fast, that the unplowed road looked like a freshly frosted cake -- absolutely NO tracks left on either side. Then to top it off, the lack of shoulder made it impossible to tell where the sides of the road ended. So, I had no clue where the road really was. There was something about it that reminded me of either an episode of The Twilight Zone or Amazing Stories in that I was sure at any minute the snow would clear and I would be nowhere near Southern Michigan and the mad snow would have been some sort of vortex, or other scientific sounding word.
But in one piece. The good thing about the drive was it gave me lots of time to think about stuff and I had an idea. I want to change my last name to mom's maiden name. We've actually talked about this before and it sounds really good now. Plus, Edwards sounds so much more professional than Sweeny... and I can't deal with the round-a-bout of a new batch of students snickering and thinking they're the first ones to realize that "Miss Sweeny" sounds like "Miss Weenie." ::rolling eyes:: The one thing I want to improve on when I get back in the classroom is to curb the sarcasm (on my part), so, the more material I can eliminate the better. Besides, how stinkin' good does Madeline Edwards, Maddie Edwards, and even Aerin Edwards sound?!?!?!?
Got a comical email from Erika last night when I finally became grounded from the horrendous travels. She said she took Tejah to the hospital (she's ok) and while they were sitting there Tejah reached up, pulled up Erika's shirt, squeezed her tummy and said, "Maddie does dis!" HAAAAAAAAHAHAHA... This is of course in reference to my time while living with them when I would squeeze my stomach as hard as I could for mere reaction. I can't believe she remembers that. Then later Erika said later they were at home and she was in the kitchen doing dishes (where else would she be doing them?). T-Bird was in the living room with a wool hat on and had all sorts of napkins spread out over the floor. Erika walked in and Tejah said, in her little stuffed-up-nose sick voice, "We're habing a weddeeeng... Maddie's getteeeng married so we're habeeeng a party with throweeeeng necklaces." AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I miss that little bug so much.
And finally, I crumbled. Caved to the desire to send V.D. wishes to the masses. Picked up some goodies today and am now going to create. ::double eye roll::
