Where was everyone else at rehearsal?

It might just be me, but this type of snow blowing across the roads always reminds me of the way fog rolls out of fog machines at big musicals or ballets. Which leads to all the drivers out there being members of the chorus line. Sadly many of them appeared not to have made it to rehearsal because there is plenty of weaving in and out and crashes out there.

Because my less than skilled driving isn't game enough

So I might be the person, that some people know as the person who reads things as she drives. And I stress the might be part. Because frankly I have tapered off dangerous activities while driving significantly in the last year, and I almost never do such crazy things in the winter, rain or dark. That being said, I get really bored while driving, even when it is only a 15 min jaunt to work and back. Last week I had this fun little game of counting cars in the ditch, my tallies were as follows:
Wednesday P.M.: 15
Thursday A.M.: 19
Thursday P.M.: 25
Friday A.M: 29
Friday P.M. 31

Tonight while driving home I saw a semi pull off to the side of the road, I was worried he was having trouble or a flat, but no I car pulled off in front of it, and then.... the driver gets out with a present! It was like super awesome, think of the coordination it takes to get in the right spot at the same time to exchange something on the interstate! And people think I do dangerous things! ha!

To my concerned readers....

So I drive like an hour and 5 minutes to work everyday. That is what I tell my mom. In truth my speeding gets me there quicker, but no one likes to admit to their mom they speed. Plus sometimes that extra five minutes of sleep is just that important, or I simply HAD to wait for the coffee to be done, and now I must speedish to work. But as you may have noticed the weather has been not so great for traveling. In fact those two whole days where the news repeatedly said DO NOT LEAVE THE HOUSE, LIKE EVER, or for sure YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE! Well that is scary stuff when you drive like a hour and 5 minutes to work (that is what we tell mom) right? right! also scary for the people who only have to drive 15 or 5 minutes to work. Scary for everyone. That is why I have been trying to remember to tweet about my safety, after the car is fully stopped and I am at work, or home. This is really for you, oh loyal readers, so you don't freak out and call me repeatedly. But in reality people do still call, like dad, he calls to ask if I am in a ditch somewhere, and I am all like, first off- I answered the phone, 2- I sound realitively calm, and 3- I didn't freak and call you. Which naturally I would do if I were in a ditch. but he worries and it is mildly cute he calls. But this is just a friendly reminder, if you worry, check the twitter updates. I try to be prompt-ish about them. Fun facts -for tuesday and wednesday I was hauled up with two lovely ladies that let me crash on their couch when sometimes I get stuck in des moines. Tonight on my way home, I was mostly able to go 60 mph the whole way and saw 15 cars/trucks in the ditch! Check twitter!
