I've been carpooling with a co-worker lately because she and I both live in Meridian and we actually live just down the road from each other. I've been kinda scared to drive on these snowy roads. We just got another couple of inches of snow last night and it was my turn to drive this morning. Rellis said that she could drive if I wanted her to because she has 4-wheel drive but I said I'd be okay. So, I drove and she said I did really well for having just come from GA. Anyways, my car loves to swivel around on the road sometimes. It's kinda fun but scary at the same time. Luckily, that swiveling only really happens on my neighborhood road where not much traffic passes through. I can get my bearings before I get on the real road. This evening, however, I was leaving the gym and I was creeping to the exit intersection and when I put on the brakes, my car didn't want to stop and I just kinda kept sliding toward the intersection with oncoming cars. I think I was being watched over because my car came to an abrupt halt right before cars started coming! WHEW! That was a close one! I also think though that the cars that were coming were in the left lane and I was kinda hanging in the right lane. I guess that was lucky, right? Anyways, it sure did give me an adrenaline rush! I mean, that road must've been really bad and packed with ice and snow if it kept me moving even though I was going like barely above 5 mph. No friction at all! It's supposed to snow all next week! I think I'll make it.
We're going on a day trip possibly on Sunday to a town called McCall. It's the winter carnival and it's supposedly the biggest draw in the winter. We probably oughta buy some chains for our tires since we'll probably be driving on some pretty treacherous roads. If we make it up there, we'll get some pictures for sure! Alrighty, nothing much new has happened lately, so I'll leave it here.
