Icy Roads = Pure Evil!

It snowed today. Ugh. I'm just not ready for this stuff. Icy roads = pure evil.

My family and I all traveled to Idaho Falls (I went along to drop off my computer to be fixed. I don't know what I'm going to do without it for a few days!). Anyway . . . we all went to Idaho Falls, and there were two cars that had gone over the edge on the pass (in different places - one at the beginning of the pass, and one closer to Swan Valley). So scary. I'm pretty sure that one of them was a fatality. There were easily 20 police vehicles at the scene. It makes me sick to think about what that person's (or those people's) last experience was like. I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be to go over the edge of a cliff like that. Seriously - it makes me so sick to think about. My prayers are with the families of those involved.

If only people could learn to slow down. It's winter now, people. You can no longer get away with traveling 70 mph over the pass - or anywhere with icy roads for that matter. (I'm not saying that the people in the accidents were guilty of those speeds - but we certainly encountered a few cars that were.) Slow down! Better to get there late than never!!

Anyway, as I mentioned - my computer is now back in the "care" of the Geek Squad. I really hope they can fix it this time. And that it doesn't cost me another $50+. Seriously! Ugh! Luckily there is another computer in the house, but I can really only use it for the Internet, which means I won't be able to work on my book(s) for a few days. I'm already going through withdrawals. Writing is the bomb-diggity. Everyone should try it! There's not much better than watching characters you've created go through their individual journeys (which you also created). The whole process is just a blast!

Idaho Falls and . . . Dogs, apparently

I just got back from an afternoon in Idaho Falls with my mom and my youngest sister. It was a good day, but I had a difficult time when we drove passed the park that my ex-boyfriend and I hung out at a few times just a few weeks ago. Bummer. I also felt a little sting when I drove by the car dealership that my ex-husband and I worked on the signs for. It's odd how stuff like that strikes at random, unpredictable times. I was just in IF a couple weeks ago and I had no such feelings at any point during that trip. Odd.

I did my best not to spend a lot of money today. I think I spent about $90. What did I come home with? Well . . . A new drawing pad, charcoals and erasers - which set me back about $30 - and dog food. Yep. The dog food was WAY expensive. Good thing my little dogs are so tiny and don't eat too much cause, yikes! They are totally worth the money, though. Look how adorable they are!

Tell me they aren't adorable. ;)

They even make cute babies.

Hmmm . . . My blogs never go in the direction I think they will. Funny.
