Interesting week. On wednesday I was driving home from english and I decided to take the back way home just for a change. Bad decision. I was driving on this really windy road, Newtown, and I got stuck in a hail storm. I had my windshield wipers all the way up and I still couldnt see. The hail was coming down so hard and loud I was afraid it would break the windshield. So I pulled over and decided to wait it out. Called my mom to let her now why I was late, I was yelling into the phone, the hail was coming down so hard. As soon as I hung up I looked up to see a car coming around the curve, a little too fast. The car went over the bank and missed me by very little. The car's mirror knicked my headlight. I should have peed my pants, I really should have, I am glad I didnt. I screamed though and remember my ears ringing afterwards. Anywho, it was still hailing extremely hard but I had to go see if the people in the car were okay. I ran to see that the two people in the car were fine, just in shock. The back side of their car was smashed in by a tree and there was a lot of glass. Luckily none landed on the passengers. I let them borrow my cell phone to call a tow truck and took a minute for my adrenaline to fade. Then, put my truck in 4 wheel (there was still 2 inches of hail on the road) and got the heck out of there. I am not sure what the lesson learned here is, maybe I should take the normal way home from now on and thank god for adrenaline and cell phones.

On a less dramatic note, I went to the Home and Garden Show at Cal Expo this weekend. I was unimpressed by the garden half of the show. Other than a few landscapers there wasnt much. Normally they have huge garden ddisplays and tons of flowers and growers. I wanted to buy an orchid but couldnt find one I was absolutely in love with. Instead, I found some pretty African Daisies and shirley Poppies. I also got a big yellow pot to plant them in. So I am pretty excited to see how those turn out.

Did anyone see the last office?!?! yay for Kevin!
