St. Valentines-comedy or tragedy?

You know that state road 92 the news kept talking about?
the one up by Highland/Alpine?
the one that got CLOSED??

yeah...
guess who was on it?
ME
(and my mom who was a few cars ahead of me)

to amuse myself while stuck in the car for 3.5 hours
I decided to do a photo essay
entitled

The Blizzard of St. Valentine's EVE

visibility was high
can someone tell my why these people have created 3 lanes out of one?
(i was swearing at this point)
(and honking)
(the only real lane was the one i was in)
(half those people slid off the road)
(serves them right, idiots)


totally excited about life right now
(see my iced-over windows?)

at this point I wanted to shoot myself...

BUT,
I survived
and i have a testimony of a full tank of gas
4x4 drive
trail mix
my phone
my mom
and my Hub
who had to be talked out of coming to rescue me
cute

i don't have a testimony of
idiot Utah drivers
people with Florida license plates
Utah Highway Patrol
or the lady in the Astro van who cut me off twice


I finally blew through my front door in a tornado of pissy anger

only to be met with warm food, a hug and a smooch,
and a trip to Hawaii in 2 weeks

i.love.my.man.

Happy Valentine's Day Lova

you rock my world

ALOHA AND MAHALO

That sucks for you. But on a good note, your bangs look super cute in that pic. So that's good.

I am SOOOOOO JEL! (not about the road conditions)

Make and Takes said...

AHHHHH and Yuck. But I would gladly spend 3.5 hours in traffic if I knew I was going to Hawaii. Key words "knew I was going".

How did your pregnant bladder hold out? ;)

kkrich said...

sorry your day was a lil' crappy. maybe if you didn't celebrate a fake holiday it wouldn't have made you so mad.

thanks to kenneth for saving the day!

Fig said...

What a great story, and what a great hub. Just kidding, the story is terrible (the story itself, not your telling of it, which was hilarious), but still - what a great hub!

Kalli Ko said...

Very funny Laura!!

my poor bladder...

Rochelleht said...

HAWAII!!?? WAY COOL! I'm with Laura, though. How did your bladder survive?

I really really really really really hate Utah drivers.

And I'm so glad you had gas. Not that kind... You know what I mean...

Brooke said...

i'm so sorry! i had a stranded friend that had to spend the night and i heard it was awful. glad you survived.

Hawaii = perfect
Your husband = angel.
Utah-highway-blizzard-fiasco = suckville.
You = awesome.

Oh man. I mean woman. But Hawaii!

Bek said...

You DO have a good man.

My little bro was also stuck in that blizzard and just ended up sleeping in the store he works at...

Hawaii? So jealous! (PS I have seen you comment on other blogs so I came over... and Cadbury Eggs ARE evil. I can't stay away from them...)
