snow.snow.snow.
i used to love the white flakey stuff. the first snowfall was the best day of the year. & we would pray that there would be enough to cancel school. snow meant a chance of canceled school, making snow forts, snowball fights, hot cocoa....
but then i learned to drive, and my relationship with snow took a drastic turn.
now when i hear snow reports on the radio the feelings of joy i once had quickly change to frustration. i do love snow around christmas time, but after that it would be fine with me if it didn't come back. snow is beautiful, it is just frustrating when you have to be places.
not to mention no one can drive in snow. i understand it is good to be cautious while driving in snow. and if its icy outside i totally understand! but when a few flakes are coming down there is no reason to go five miles an hour! there comes a point when being too careful is a bad thing. you aren't going to slide into a car when there's no ice on the road!
of course then there is also the people that drive like maniacs in blizzards. do not ride my butt when it is icy on the roads. do not cut me off in a blizzard. do not go 40 miles over the speed limit through a snow storm. you are causing people to drift off the road.
i believe george carlin says it best:
Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? -George Carlin
my new years resolution was to not be an angry driver, so im letting out all my driving frustrations via my blog.
these are just the frustrations i have experienced with the "huge snow storm" these past few days.
there was an earthquake this morning. *cue people freaking out*
i of course slept through it because nothing wakes me up when im asleep.
i love how much everyone is over reacting. it was a 4.3 people, no buildings are destroyed, no ones hurt, lets calm down. there was a facebook group started called "i survived the northern illinois earthquake." my goodness california is laughing at us.
i cannot wait for this week to be over. i just need a break. working everyday is really starting to take a toll on me. i was ready to fall asleep at work today. there are not enough hours in the day. i have so much stuff i need to get done by friday, i probably shouldn't be blogging, but ah well.
off to get some zees.
