EDIT: So
traffic…let me just tell you about traffic! Eastbound I70
(thankfully, I was heading west) was shut down just a mile past Rt.42
because a semi jack-knifed (it was BAD!). There was standstill
traffic for MILES. Then at Rt. 40, there was another 2 mile
slowdown because they were forcing everyone onto 40 because of the semi
thing at 42. Again…thankfully, I was going WEST!
On the westbound side, I saw numerous cars in the ditch, in various
stages of uprightness, and reminded myself to drive slowly, and safely,
which I did. Unfortunately, I then got to 72 and headed south,
for about 2 minutes, when I ended up stopped for the clean-up of an
accident involving two vans (still don’t know how the front passenger
side corner of one van his the driver’s door of the other), so we were
there for a few minutes (not long, thankfully!). END EDIT
Random thoughts to start the day:
- It snowed here. Not
lots, but enough to make people drive like idiots (more so than
usual). There were LOTS of accidents reported on the news this
morning. - As a result of the previous thought, I am waiting for
a while before driving to CU today. I don’t have to be there
until 11:00, so I’ll let most of those afore-mentioned “idiots” get to
work before this “idiot” goes out! - I tried a version of
jennikim’s crockpot potato soup for dinner last night. It worked
really well. I put a can of cream of onion soup in (because
that’s what I had). YUMMY! - Yesterday was a long, tiring day.
- Classes
at 11 & noon. I had to talk about spelling. We got out
early. I refuse to lecture for 45 minutes on spelling rules. - Conferences
from 2-4:30. (I was supposed to be done at 4:00, but I was running late
and didn’t start my last student until 4:00…and he took a LONG time!) - Stopped
for gas on my way home (in S. Charleston). Stopped for groceries
on my way home (in London). Got home about 5:50. Then supper,
cleaned up, headed to the chuch just after 6:30. - Rehearsal from
7:00-9:00 (it went a little long). It did not go very well.
The choir doesn’t know their music/words. The drama doesn’t know
their lines. The extras don’t know their blocking (because last
night was our first night on stage). The tech stuff is
overwhelmed. We still need people to help with the tech stuff
(anyone want to come run a spotlight for me?) Then on top
of it all, Pastor changed the schedule for Sunday morning…causing all
sorts of consternation and frustration. We didn’t leave until 10:30 and
we left others sitting there still. - Thankfully, we still
have a tech rehearsal on Friday night and dress rehearsal on Saturday
to work on things. I’m sure it will all get done…but I’ll be
very glad when Monday comes. - Today I have 10 conferences spread between 11:00-4:00 (most of them between 2-4). I’m sure I’ll run late…I always do.
- And
a happy note to end on: Last night during rehearsal, I very much
enjoyed watching my very sexy husband play the trombone. He very
patiently waited while we hashed through the rehearsal and helped me
put things away. He takes very good care of me.
^ I can’t believe you wrote that! ^
And, you forgot to mention how helpful your husband was to point out when someone sounds like they’re saying cow shit instead of cow shed. That is a very helpful husband!
Wow! Our snow seems to be over and cleaned up now. Is yours better?
By the way, am not sure if I’ve ever seen the words “sexy” and “trombone” in the same sentence before.
Yikes! Sounds like a fun ride!
Traffic okay this morning? I heard there was a lot happening on 70. (but I think it was more eastbound than west.)
Trust me — I have learned my lesson well!
Okay, I’ll admit I read ahead sometimes. My eyes just see the next line before they’re supposed to. And I read: happy note to end on: sex. Please don’t do that to me again!
Give yourself lots of time! It snowed enough around Cedarville to make the idiots the people who aren’t going slow enough!
