winter driving

i have a new found hatred towards winter driving... especially when it requires that i be stuck in the car for over 2 hours per day... just to get to and from work. i have passed by some pretty crazy random accidents on my travels. it really scares me to see people, hands clutched to the steering wheel, afraid to move faster than a crawl. monday morning was the worst so far, and i'm sure the girls at work were starting to worry if i'd ever come by the time 8:00 rolled around. but consolation came in the form of numerous donuts at the end of SMED lane. as long as i can still have some fun while driving, and the ol' Jetta keeps starting up like new, i can survive this.

COUSINS

It's funny to think back to when Holly and I were very little, while both of our families were still living in Calgary. We would see a lot of each other. A lot of time has passed by and we find ourselves living in the same city yet again. I was so excited about Holly moving to Calgary for University. Seeing as she's my cousin on both sides of the family, we are very much like sisters. But life gets stupid sometimes, and the distance between people gets greater and greater. That's probably why hanging out with my cousin Holly was awesome last night. It' s a rare thing now-a-days. She reminds me so much of Emily, and so I have to remind myself a lot of the time that it really is Holly that I am with. But it's really a wonderful thing to have family in this is crazy mad city. Especially family that will stay up till 2 am watching HGTV... that my friends is hard to find!

Thanks Steph for having patience
