snowy car accident. (sorta).

don't get me wrong, i love SNOW, i just hate it on the ROADS. seriously. like this sorta a scene:


...is beautiful. however. when snow gets on the road... it gets scary.

story of the day:

i wake up (it's snowing again), hang around my house, then think "hmmm, i should go get my hair cut."

so, i head out. driving. in my little grandma blue car. with front wheel drive. and i go the back way (i don't know why i didn't stick to the main roads... that was a dumb mistake on my part). and i'm driving down Woodgate. and i think, "man, i'm glad i've never been in a bad accident" and i think to myself "am i going too fast?" and i'm like "nahh, i'm going like ten miles under the speed limit. i'm totally fine." and i keep driving for a while. and i almost get to the round-a-bout...

and i hit ice (or something that makes me no longer in control of the car)

and i start weaving all over the road. and i can't do anything. and if they had been a car coming the other way in the other lane... i would have hit them head on. and i just sorta thought i was gonna die. and finally i went off the road... (thankfully it was the side with a ton of snow and not the side with a fence and bushes and stuff) and i got stuck. and the car that was behind me? that saw this all happen? just kept driving. it was sooo scary i tell you. i thought i was gonna flip over.

and so i called my dad. and he and jayson came and pushed me out. and i learned my lesson.

never under any circumstance will i drive on an un-plowed road driving over 15 mph. (you think i'm joking? i'm not.) and never, under any circumstance will i ever drive on a back road when there's snow, ever. the end.

and that. that was the lesson i learned today. oh, and i have three inches less hair(: and it's all healthy and stuff too!

sincerely,
erica michelle
