I made the 5-hour drive to Michigan yesterday. It was quite the ordeal. For about 20 miles, I was behind a sheriff’s car; despite knowing that a sheriff was directly in front of me, the car behind me chose to tailgate. Even when I would move into the right lane to give the asshole the chance to pass, he wouldn’t — he’d drop way back, apparently too much of a pussy to drive behind the cop. So I’d move back over to the left and boom! Asshole would tailgate again. OMG I was so livid. I was glaring at the guy in my rearview mirror and calling him all sorts of names; I mean, I moved to the right at least three times. I finally exited when I reached a populated area and grabbed some lunch; the cop and asshole both were gone by the time I got back on I-69.

A few miles before I reached the Indiana-Michigan border, it started snowing and raining. It was most unpleasant. For a majority of the time, I had my wipers on high, if that tells you anything. When I was a few miles from my exit, traffic was at a complete stop … 20 minutes later I saw that a piece of construction equipment was tilted on the overpass and they were rerouting all traffic off of the expressway then back on. Of course, I had to pee throughout all of this … I called ahead to my parents’ house and told my mom to make sure the downstairs bathroom was clear!

Last night we all went out for Chinese and it started snowing again on the way home. We all pooh-poohed the weather forecast but I’ll be damned if we didn’t end up with 3-5″ of accumulation. Bite me, winter. Begone!

Today Mummy and I went shopping and hit Bare Escentuals, among other stores. I forgot my debit card (it was in the pocket of my other jeans) so oopsie, Mummy had to pay for my mineral veil (they had a shimmery kind!) and bisque concealer. Tonight I’m getting a pedi with my friend Jennifer then we’ll find someplace for dinner … not sure what is on the agenda for tomorrow.

I told my parents about my surgery plans; my mom is really excited for me. She is going to come take care of me, of course, but seemed glad when I told her Miss Sodapop has offered to come up on the weekend. It might be nice to have someone else to talk to! Oh and Soda, she really wants to see the chiweenie.

I was going to see if MM wanted to have dinner next week because, well, not that this uncertainty is bugging me because really it isn’t, but because I want to see if I want anything more to do with him! He’s texted me a few times over the past few days. But, I have plans almost every night next week — Tuesday is my only open night — and if my friend Debby is available for dinner, she gets first priority. Hos before bros, y’all!
