Friday afternoon, I decided to head home since my 2 o-clock class was cancelled. So around noon, I went to gather my stuff to go home. I got to my snow-covered car around 12:15. I spent the next hour and a half scraping the ice off my car and getting out of my parking spot. I was sweating tremendously by the time I was finished. I preceded to drive home. The roads were kind of slick and a little icy. I met my dad at Star Church, and then rode with him to McLeansboro to the DMV. I went to get a Driver's License. There was no one there except my dad and me. I didn't have to get a new picture, and it only cost $5. I was pretty excited to get a new license. Driving without one made me really nervous. After that, dad and I played in a snow at home. He dragged me behind the four-wheeler on an old knee board. Brody chased me around the yard. It was a lot of fun and reminded me of old times. Then I headed to Erin and Cacy's house for sledding fun. Erin, Cacy, Jackie and I were all sledding and having a grand time. The Ellis' have an old car hood as a sled attached to a ranger. It was lots of fun. You didn't hardly fall off at all. But there was a hole in the front, that kept shooting ice/snow into my ice. It kinda hurt. Then we went inside and ate chili and watched You've Got Mail. We had a good time. On the way out, I tripped on my boots, and fell hard. I hit my chin, my right knee, and right wrist. It hurt pretty bad and now I have a nice bruise on my knee. I felt like a complete idiot. No one saw me, thank goodness.
Saturday, I slept in until 10 am. Then my mom and I went to the Dollar Store and the Super ROC One Stop! I had to get a new key made for my car, which only cost $2. I'm liking the cheapness of replacing the things I lost. It has made lots of things better. At the Dollar Store, we rummaged through all the leftover Christmas stuff. Lots of things were only $.10 or $.20. Lots of good bargains. We then went home to wait for dad to get home from work. After he got home, we built a snowman on our dock. He was a fisherman snowman, complete with fishing pole, tackle box, sunglasses, and straw hat. We were pretty proud of our creation. We then headed to Morellos for dinner. We had my favorite, BBQ chicken nachos and BBQ chicken pizza. Very delicious! Wal-Mart was our next stop to walk off our meal. Plus, I needed some things to take back to school. We walked around for a while, then headed home. Mom made snickerdoodle cookies and oatmeal heath cookies, my favorites! While we were watching Anchorman, which is still funny no matter how many times I've seen it. We preceded to stay up and look at old pictures, and I put some on my laptop.
This morning, we headed to church to cook breakfast. The bus wasn't running because of the weather, but there are other people that come to eat. Mom and I ended up getting stuck in the parking lot as soon as we got there. Not good. We were one of the first people there, and had to get pushed out. The parking was all out of whack today. But I think it all worked out. We made breakfast, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy. YUMMY!! Then we cleaned up and headed to church, which was pretty good. Pastor Jeff talked about Grace. I enjoyed it a whole lot. When church was over, mom and I went home. We had a little trouble getting down our road, but we finally made it to the house and got stuck right behind my car. We eventually pushed it from behind my car. We then headed inside for lunch. We had leftover BBQ chicken pizza, even yummier the second time around! :) We tried to push my car out, it took us about an hour to get my car unstuck. We were having a rough time at it, but finally we got it out. Bethel Creek Road was a little mushy and hard to drive down, but I prevailed. I made it to Evansville in the normal amount of time. I got to my school, and there was a parking spot right in the front! WOOOO! I carried all my stuff up to my room. Only two trips this time, odd for me. Came upstairs just in time for the Super Bowl. I watched it in my room with Rachel and Daniel. We had a good time, laughing at commercials and yelling at the bad calls. I did some laundry and still have all my stuff laying on my bed. I need to go put everything away!
