Growing up, I was never the one to do the most adventurous thing. I was too afraid of the possible consequences. For example, when skiing, I would ski the black diamond but never attempted anything out of my control. I didn't want to break a leg or an arm and have to be put in a cast.
This same mentality comes to driving in the winter. I just canceled my cello lesson tonight because I didn't want to drive in sleet-snow-slush-rain-ice. Am I wimp? Ha!
And I didn't want to drive in the sleet-snow-slush-rain-ice even though I was driving our huge Suburban with big rims. I love our truck and I feel safe driving it but I'm too afraid of crashing the baby. :) The new Suburbans have plastic {yes, you read that right - plastic} bumpers. Soon after we got the '08 Suburban, my Mom accidentally bumped {barely} a truck behind her and you would not believe the damage done to the bumper. We also have an '01 Suburban. Once, my brother bumped his friends car in a parking lot at work. Not one scratch on our truck and the other guys' car was severely damaged.
Potentially losing control on an icy road at night equals $$. So, I'm staying home.
I have about gazillion cookies to make. Here's my list: cookies for tomorrow nights choir/orchestra practice for our Christmas concert, cookies for prisoners {something through our church}, and cookies as gifts.
So although I feel like such a skirt cancelling my cello lessons, I'm glad because I have extra time to make these cookies.
Is it snowing in your locale? I hope it is!
