We’ve gotten our first big snow storm of the year here in Newark.

Woke up to the merry site of a sea of white all over the back yard. Went outside brused mine and T’s cars off with the broom, bundled up and began my merry trip to work.

I used to be all about the snow. Snow meant no school, aday of staying home, watching Star Wars, making snow forts, snow men, hot chocolate, snow ball fights, sledding… ahh the old days..

Now snow means dangerous car rides to work.. sliding all over the place. and wondering if I’ll ever see Tianna, Mojo and Gal again… I think my fear of the snow began about 4 years ago, when driving home from my work up in Yorklyn I spun my little Honda Accent around on a hill on Paper Mill road. Car spun all the way around narrowly missed an oncoming car and came to a stop facing the other way on me side of the road up against a curb. I was ok and there was no damage to the car.. but it scared the shit out of me. Since then I’ve been extermely cautious and hesistant when driving in the snow.

This morning went fine and I did a little dance in the parking lot when I arrived safely… but I still do not like it.

Maybe I’ll make a snow man in my backyard when i get home tho.. and have some hot chocolate and wait on the side of the house for tianna to get home and throw snowballs at her.. hehehe. shhh dont tell her.
