this hole i've dug is mine forever!

well. yes. since I AM the master evil genius...i decided to drive all by myself to church in hartford city on sunday. late. coz i didnt wake up til 10:10. thats really late. but i figured, what with blizzards and all, joe would be worried or something. turns out joe wasnt even THERE, but owell. so i got ready (late) and got all my stuff together...ironically, brought a water bottle because i had the thought "well, just in case i end up in a snowdrift for 3 days." haha. well the roads were pretty much fine, no ice, just a little bit of snow blowing across the pavement on occasion. then i get on SR26 and its still fine. or so i think. i'm tooling along, minding my own business, at about 45-50 mph. all of the sudden, dead ahead is a patch in the road completely covered with snow all the way across. it looks like nothing, piff, its all good. NO. NOT SO MUCH. IT IS THE EVIL SNOW OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. i tooled along into that snow and wham! bam! thank you ma'am! steering wheel no worky anymore! so i'm swerving back and forth, back and forth. my first thought is "oops." followed quickly by "oh this is nothin i can get out of this easy." a bit later "hmmm. those poles on either side of the road are getting closer and closer and closer. this might not be recoverable." the swerving reaches its point of no return and i find myself gunning straight for a powerline pole. i decide it might behoove me to turn the steering wheel AWAY from the pole and begin to apply some forceful pressure to the brake. just as i think "well, i'm not going to die, or break anything, but my car might not be so happy" somehow the car glides gently to a halt and turns ever-so-slightly so that the left side of the front end is resting happily against the pole. not even a hair could fit in between, that's how close. well. that was fun. so i put it in reverse. nope, tires are spinning. i look up into my rearview and theres a red SUV coming up and i wonder if it will slow down...it does. i rolled down my window and some middle-aged guy with stubble (no, not hot at all) makes the astute observation "well, i bet your heart is beating pretty fast right now!" to which i reply with the witty "it sure is!" he then informs me that he has a strap on the back of his vehicle and he'd be happy to pull me out. i said "that would be cool!!!" and so he did. and then i went on my merry way to joe's. all of this took about 5-10 minutes. that guy showed up before i even had to decide where to walk to call joe. moral of the story: there IS a God, and he's pretty freaking awesome....................wouldn't this story be fun if i ended it with "and then i looked behind me AND NO ONE WAS THERE! i got out to check out the situation and there was only one set of tire tracks--my own!"

i've had lots of fun past couple days being a model. meredith needed to take pictures of a couple for her latest assignment. naturally, joe and i were that couple. they all turned out pretty great. it was sweet action! yay! we have pictures of us now! hurrah!

note: it is best not to yell "triplet!" when there is a triplet nearby and you dont want to stand out.

i am teaching sunday school this week with tara and maybe some joe too! getting a little nervous, wish i'd found out a while earlier!


so i had that interview at Art In Motion Pets on friday.....they said they'd know by middle of this week (today, basically) who they were hiring. so i'm starting to wonder. guess it wasnt me. deng it. now i'll try hobby lobby.

mmm, fat meal.

DUDE. we have to buy freaking tickets for fnl now. coz its a fire hazard or something, too many people and junk. aw jeese. and only 2 per person. so i had to work the austrian hook up and get them to buy me extras that they wouldnt need. that's why austrians are so well-liked. they're great for the scalping business.

my weaving teacher was talking about his canker sores today. he even tried to show us! nasty.

tara used to think that all the old people in grocery stores that buy a ton of pet food were buying it to eat themselves, because it was all mushy and easy to eat. WHAT THE HECK. thats what baby food is for! she must be on crack!
