" I CANNOT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Today it snowed. I do not watch the weather so I was unaware that the weather was going to change. I met Jackson for lunch and then went to get a pedicure. Finally! It had been too long! Then I had a knee doctor appointment. I have to have surgery. SURPRISE! Oh wait. No. Anyway, I have surgery on January 9th. Susie is flying out the night before so she can go with me and so Jackson won't have to miss any work. I want to keep his days off for fun- not surgery! He really wanted to come so don't think he's a careless hubby or anything. ;) Anyway- on to the juice.

I wrecked my car today. Don't worry. I am fine. My car, surprisingly, does not have a scratch. (And if it does I cannot see it yet so I feel ok about it.) I was on my way home from getting the surgery news when I got to an intersection and just could not stop. I was trying. I really was. I knew my car needed new tires. I actually have an appointment to get new ones tomorrow. These puppies just have no traction or grip left on them at all. I knew they were death wheels. So I am trying to stop at this intersection and if I cannot stop I will go under a semi. I was not looking too forward to the whole airbag going off, ambulance coming and canceled trip to New York City thing so I was thinking fast about how to avoid this situation. I looked to my right and saw a turn lane triangle thing (super technical language, I know) so I coasted through it and then to avoid hitting a car I ran my Mazda up into a rock-filled median. It took me a second to catch my breath and remember to put my car into "park" so that I wouldn't cross the median. I burst into tears (because isn't that the normal reaction when you avoid a serious accident?) and finally found my way home. I thank God that it was just a little scare and no one (nor my car) was hurt. I definitely think He was watching over me and gave me an escape route. When I got home it was as if MacKenzie knew Mommy was upset because she jumped into my arms (she never does that) and licked my face all over. Gross, but it is her way to show love. I am again thankful for God's provisions and protection.

I'll be getting those new tires tomorrow.
I hope you all are well. :)
