Bathroom Trilogy.....

Okay....what is it with me and bathrooms? I swear.....

I was in the Target bathroom today.....doing my business....and a lady comes in the stall next to me. She's urinating.....and I hear "click, click, click"....she's TEXTING while she's peeing! WTH?
Can we not pee without sending a text? How about using your hands to WIPE YOUR BUTT instead of putting them all over your cell phone? I just don't get it. Maybe I'm from another era....

Do you get it? If so, explain please....help a sista out!

Snow Day!


YEAH! It snowed today! About 10 inches! This is the first real snow we've had since 2005. That last big snow we had was in March of 2005.....the day of my grandfather's funeral. We had to postpone the funeral for 2 days because of the weather and the fact they could not get the "vault" from Lynchburg to Brookneal where his burial was.



I went in to work at 7pm and due to low census, was allowed to leave at 12:30am. Now, it had started to snow again REAL hard at the time I was leaving. Rt 460 on the way home was AWFUL! You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. I had my mom's suzuki sidekick and it was in 4WD. That little truck ROCKS! It took me 2 hrs to get home, which normally takes me 40 mins..... but it got me home safely. I wanted to pull over and cry because I was scared I was going to end up in the median or ditch...... There were no marks in the road for me to "go by"....just about 6 inches of snow. I mean, where are the "state trucks" when all this is going on? I'm sure glad they are keeping the residents of VA safe! What a joke. I intend on writing the state of VA about this one......If I had wrecked, I was suing!

Anywho....here are some pics of the snow!
