I just lived through the scariest 40 minutes of my life. Seriously. (If you can think of and want to remind me of scarier minutes, feel free)

School was cancelled today due to snow. There was some freezing rain throughout the day, but the roads were plowed and salted. Honey even went into the office for a couple hours with no issue.

As I left for work tonight the snow began again. In the four hours I was in the Walmart (management let me go home early) it snowed four inches. The roads were not plowed during that time. There was no salt.

I felt like this guy on the way home; only it was 10:45PM and I was in the ever-so-cool off-roading super vehicle: the minivan.

I tried to turn left onto our street but the hill was too much for said minivan and half way up I stopped – spun – and began to slide back down the hill. So, I backed onto Manchester and took off at a whopping 10 mph on a more roundabout route.

Again – no roads were plowed or salted. My shoulders are in knots, my hands permanently shaped into a grip (I am typing this with my thumbs), and tears could come at any moment. I was terrified. Alabama girls aren’t meant for this type of driving! Even if they haven’t lived in Alabama for ages.

The bright side? At least I am not this guy:

If you live where I live then TODAY you can get a great deal on deodorant.
In TODAY’s paper there is a $1.00 off coupon for Sure deodorant.
TODAY at Schnucks, Sure deodorant is on sale for $1.25. (Usually sells there for $2.99)
If you don’t get the paper or want to buy a paper, then you can go to Sure’s website and print 2 – $1.00 coupons.
So, TODAY you can use the coupons from TODAY’s paper to get SURE deodorant for $.25!

Does everyone understand?
Raise your hand if you’re sure. . .

I got to go away overnight this week! Two friends from seminary came into town and we got a room at a nearby hotel. From just after noon on Wednesday until late into the night, we worked on scrapbooks and laughed and laughed. We fell asleep quoting “Friends” and awoke to a great breakfast someone ELSE cooked. Combined we finished 51 pages and Nicole and I fell in love with Meagan’s Cricut.

I took plenty of pictures and Nicole’s words, “I’ll just rely on you for the pictures” ring in my ears as my camera goofed up tonight and I just may have lost them all. Sorry Meagan. Sorry Nicole. For now, no photos on The Blue Hutch. But definitely a mention!!

It was WONDERFUL to spend time with such dear friends doing something we all love. Can’t wait until next year.
