2/16 The end of the world?

I swear this is true. Today, in Wisconsin, all at the same time, we had rain (lots), snow (lots), thunder (loud) and lightning (lots). It was freakin' awesome!

Driving to get my hair cut wasn't quite as awesome, but was certainly interesting. I went during lunchtime, and on the five mile drive there saw five accidents. That's not all that many, considering the conditions. On the way back to work I almost got in a wreck myself. Tried to get out of the way of a snowplow and almost plowed myself into a mailbox. But thank heavens for four-wheel drive.

Should have stayed home today instead of yesterday--this is a perfect day for cocooning.

I'm glad you're okay, Jer. That's some weird weather. Sounds like a good day to stay home and curl up with a good book. :)

Tonight I stayed home and curled up with two good reality shows. :) Survivor and Beauty and the Geek

That scared me just reading it, mom. I'm glad you're alright. Just stop driving.

Love you,
Rob

Rob, you are so sweet. Sometimes you must think I'm 88 instead of 58. I drive all over the place. Can't help it. So unless you get me a chauffeur, there's no chance of me stopping driving.

I had to drive yesterday in the middle of the storm. It was a haircut appointment for heaven's sake!

Priorities.

You don't have to suck up, Bea. You're already my favorite d-i-l. Love Mom :)
