icy roads.....

It's been a hot chocolate(with marshmallows!) kinda week...Oddly when I drink it late at 8pm I get VERY sleepy.....lol...along with my electric blanket set on 7.....ahh...sleep.

Felt like ice skating on the highways this week...Saw a lot of roll overs yesterday...I went with some friends to OKC to go early Christmas shopping...well we had to turn around and go back home because the roads quickly got icy and the sleet freezing instantly on the windshield of the truck...We got rather scared!!!

It was sorta like all the traffic was one big road of bumper cars....

we finally got out of the traffic and out of OKC to a smaller suburb and stopped for a quick soup and sandwich then onto a casino and played the penny machines for about 30 minutes til the highway cleared a little--it was so packed with people driving and oh man...those crazy idiots driving 90mph on the icy roads....STUPID.

when we got home I had scrape my windshield for 30 minutes with a ice scraper and as soon as I would get it all scraped off more sleet would fall and instantly freeze back!.....I had to stop once or twice on the way to my house and re-scrape the re-freezing off my windshield and then the wipers decided to freeze up half way home...luckily they waited til I was almost home....lol...my hands were about to freeze off...I forgot my gloves---Miss Forgetful!

funniest phone call last night when I got home was one of my friends calling to see if I got home ok...and I asked her:"What are you doing?" she goes:"Watching one of the billion Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel...these are pretty dang good!"....

they are pretty dang good I guess....haha

snow on the way the next few days...only downfall to the freezing temps? having to break the icy pond water at 7am!!!
