Ice and Reviews

Today it is very icy. When Mom picked me up from class Excell (the group that I take my classes from) was getting ready to cancel the rest of the classes for the day. We stopped at Wal-Mart and the Library after Mom picked me up and we had quite the adventure trying to get through an intersection. It was concrete, and so it was much icyer than the asphalt. Mom was thinking about turning around and skipping the Library but by the time she decided to make a u-turn she had got to the concrete and just slipped when she tried to move. Great. We slid into the turning lane and sort of inched our way forward, sliding the whole way. It didn't help that there was a good bit of traffic (including 18-wheelers and a herse), but thankfully everyone was being patient. Then, we attempted to go straigt but that didn't work so we had to try and slide around the corner to get out. It took probably 10 min to get out of that intersection. Everyone was slipping and sliding all over the place and I was glad no one else wrecked (there was one just passed the intersection).

So, Jc and I have started another blog together called Writer's Critic (I put a link on the sidebar under "Interesting Blogs"). We will post book and movie reviews that give ratings of various aspects of the item being reviewd. Granted, they will be biased reviews, but hopefully they will give you a better idea of whether or not the book or movie is worth your time.






*edit*
I wrote this post yesterday, but the weather is even better today. It sleeted all night long, essentially a heavy frozen mist, and has continued to do so all morning. It looks like it snowed, because the ice crystals are so small. The cool thing is, you can hear it. Millions of tiny drops of frozen rain pinging and hitting the ground. I wish I could record it. Maybe I will try. As he cannot safley go anywhere, Dad went outside and slid the two little ones down the driveway on a piece of cardboard. Endless fun.
