Best. Drive. Home. EVER.

Today we got 10 inches, up to a foot of snow in some places. So happy! They didn't let us out of work early, so it took me 20 minutes to dig my car out. The snow was so high on the drivers side that I had to get in from the passenger side. And it took over an hour and a half to get home, but it was the most eventful drive i've ever had.

While driving on 70 we got to make our own lanes because the road was completely covered. At one point, everyone had to stop because someone got turned sideways in the middle of the highway and was spinning his tires trying to get straighten up and get back on track.

Going home only got better when I got off the highway and got on Ladue road. I have never seen so many abandoned cars on the side of the road. Just either in a ditch, or just sitting there, blocking completely one lane of traffic. What I wonder, is what happens to the people that were driving the car? Where did they walk away too? I really liked the person who left their car on an exit ramp, lights on and the window open. And no one was around! Couldn't you at least close your window? I don't understand. I don't think I could leave my car to die on the road like that. Anways, the drive took so long because people would be driving along and BAM, spin off to the side of the road and get stuck. Then we would all sit and watch as they tried to get their cars straightened while having little or no traction on their tires.

It was a lot of fun driving home. I literally had to keep both hands on the wheel the whole time because it gave me more control. There was only one time where I thought it was going to end badly, and that was when I was breaking, yet my car was not stopping and I was heading right for the little nissan in front of me. I eventually pulled myself out of the skid, but not before it got my heart rate really going.

But, alls well that ends well. I am now sitting on my couch watching American Idol, wondering why David Archuleta always sounds like he is running out of breath. I don't think that would fly on a record, someone taking gasps after every few lines. Hmmm. Oh, but I loved the other David's version of the Lionel Ritchie song Is it me your looking for.
