I Don't Even Care That It's Snowing Outside...

I'm in such a good mood today.

Why?

Because So You Think You Can Dance starts tonight and I can barely contain my EXCITEMENT!!! Remember my last post about this show?

There are changes. This season on SYTYCD has brought back previous contestants as the All Stars and will be partnered up with this year's contestants. As my friend Kyle put it, "It's like Dancing With The So You Think Can Dance Stars". I LOVE the idea! I'm still not clear on the details of the overall process but I am excited to find out. I also LOVE who they are bringing back. They just happen to be a lot of my favourites!!! Like my girl Allison Holker from Season 2 (my all time fav!).

I am actually willing to take credit for a lot of the changes that they made this season. We are back to the normal Summer schedule, Mary Murphy is no more and Mia Michaels is back. (Thank goodness!) All points I discussed in my rant. (I'm pretty sure Nigel read it.)

Anyway, this season is looking pretty promising and I am going to love all two hours of tonight's episode!

Remember That Black Cloud?

This is pretty much what happened to me yesterday except it was on a busy intersection. I was the red car and the other car was an 83 year old man who shouldn't be driving! My mom had asked me to go pick up my sister Laura from home and bring her to the new house which is only a few minutes away. As I was heading back to my mom with Laura, I was going straight through an intersection and a car decided to turn left and I smoked right into them on the passenger side! The speed limit was 60 km/H so I hit them at a pretty good speed.

My first thought, "Is Laura okay?" She was. She bumped her knee and it was bleeding and she was a little shaken up, but she was okay.

My second thought, "*swear word* this is my mom's car!"

The police station was just down the street so they came pretty quick and I had to fill out a police report but obviously the other guy was at fault. He should NOT have been turning as I was going straight through the intersection! I just felt so bad that I had my sister in the car with me and that it was my mom's car. My mom was more concerned that we were alright but I still felt bad I wrecked it.

It was at lunch time on a pretty busy intersection so a lot of people we knew saw us there and it was right by the high school my brother goes to and all his friends were talking and pointing at it. Lovely! The important thing is that we were okay and I am very grateful that we were protected and that we were able to walk away from it!

Hopefully everything with insurance will get all worked out. As for me, I'm heading right to a chiropractor because I am in pAiN!

Big News

No I am not pregnant (for some reason that is what everyone first thinks). My mom got ENGAGED on Saturday to Grant Clayton!! He is a really great guy and has handled our family very well. She is so beyond excited and was flashing her ring (she calls it her "bling") all day! They have been dating for about a year now and have now decided to take it to the next level. There is no date yet but it will be this summer for sure. Brad had a lot to take in yesterday when he called for Mother's Day but I know he wants my mom to be happy! And happy she is!! Here are some pictures I took of them when they told us the news.
