Yippee! Saturday! Another living day in 2012! And totally uneventful.
I have to go to a babyshower tonight for someone I don't even really know then straight to a movie night with a group of adults. I'd rather just go home because I've been meaning to watch The Ides of March. Not just because it has George Clooney and Ryan Gosling. (Who ever decided to put those two in a movie together... knew what they were doing.) Alas, I don't think I will be able to get to it today. Sad platypus.
On a higher note! There is about a foot and a half of snow outside my house! Finally winter decided to show up. We had NO SNOW during Christmas. In fact, it might have actually been raining. But I guess this is Montana, the weather here is as unpredictable as Lady Gaga's costumes. I don't really care that much, I love Montana and it's weather. It definitely keeps a person on their toes.
So last night my sister Natalie and I went to a show in Bigfork called The Great Ghost Chase. The younger 2nd through 6th grade kids put it on. It was ADORABLE. I laughed so hard! It was so funny! It was Opening Night and they all did so well. Natalie actually choreographed it. She did quite a good job of it too.
Outside of the show subject, a little chaos went on. Natalie was late for company meeting and told me to go park the car. And go figure, I got stuck in a drift of snow in the middle of the road and almost hit another car and a wall and got stuck again. Then some lady came pushed me out of it. (Thank you stranger woman!) She thus proceeded to tell me where to park. I followed her advice. So I backed up and parallel parked, driving backwards. The car fit like a glove. So I thanked the fine lady and she walked back to the Theatre. But then, right as I was getting out of the car, I look back and see a sign. I continued on to read it. Go figure! It's a no parking zone! UGH! So I get back into the car and begin to drive out of the parking spot only to get STUCK AGAIN. So in a fit of no panic whatsoever, I called a friend who lived like three minutes away. (Bless his soul for coming out and helping!)
Before he got to where I was, Natalie had come looking for me with a friend. She saw that the car was in the middle of the road and she saw the wheels spinning like there was no tomorrow. (Despite what anyone else tells you, I was NOT flooring it. It's just harder to drive in 4 and a half inch heels.) Natalie promptly told me to get out of the drivers seat to see if she could get out of the rut any better. She couldn't. So! The friend I had called earlier shows up and pushes the car out of the drift with the other friend Natalie had brought along to come find me. Natalie then proceeded to drive away in search of a parking spot. I know what you are all thinking "Haha! It's a bad woman driver!" Well go ahead. *Insert Bad Woman Driver* Joke here. I accept that. But I'm telling you, IT WAS THE SNOW. I swear!
I cannot tell you how many times I thanked those friends who helped me. They ended both going to the show and we all had a jolly good time. So that was quite the eventful night.
Cheerio!
(P.S. I'm a good driver.)
