The Mass Murder
February 3rd, 2010Wednesday Wisdoms with Steph
I’m almost positive everyone has read about at least one of my crazy/amusing mornings driving to school. The vans, the dogs, etc. Well, now I can add one more to the list… birds. Ever heard the expresssion killing 2 birds with one stone. I think I just made this saying even more epic. I killed 4 birds with one car!!
So I’m driving down the road minding my own business. You know how birds just sit in the road when their is roadkill? Well… this is the case for my story. A flock of small gray birds were just huddling in my lane. Usually they fly off before the car actually gets to them. And they did, just as i suspected. I was in the right lane…they flew to the right. And just to clear something up, I think birds are the STUPIDEST creature alive. They run into windows even when you DON”T use Windex. Lol.
So they go to the right and then out of nowhere! they made an immediate u-turn and started flying toward the road! Keep in mind I am going like 60 mph on this little back country road with no one around. The birds, in the U-turn process, are now flying directly in front of my car!!! You would think they would fly up or around or something…anything….to get out of the way. Nope. They are stupid. All of a sudden BOOM BOOMBOOM BOOOOM.!!!!!!.( Side note: I am one of those people who absolutely hates feeling roadkill under my tire. I cringe, I scream, I freak out. It just doesn’t work with me.)
Theeeeenn started the screaming. LOL I freaked out. The birds literally hit my car!! OMG. I seriously about started to cry but at the same time it was kinda funny that the birds just flew into my car and no one was around to witness my mass murder. Tehehe. 
Anyway, I didn’t see them anywhere after their ridiculous collision with my massive Buick Lacrosse. ( Big to me because I am a small girl. lol) So I got to school and told everyone that sits with me and they thought it was hilarious. But at the time I was very upset about this. Think about it… I just killed FOUR of God’s creatures. And not just any creature.. the only flying animal alive!! How cool is that? And I, Stephanie, just about put them into extinction. Yay me. LOL I was afraid to look at the front of my car afterwords, in fear that a bird might me gruesomely shoved in my grill. Later, I came to the conclusion that if there was it would make the story 10x funnier. Ha! So after school I gained enough courage to look and nothing was there EXCEPT feathers shoved in the groove of my headlights. Ew. I took a picture with my nifty cellular device but unfortunately I can’t put that on here because I don’t know how. Sorry.
Lesson learned: Birds are stupid. Windex doesn’t work. And I still don’t know how to get feathers out of my headlights.
~See you guys next week, and sorry for the slightly late post. Toodles!!~
Jyl’s Junk
November 11th, 2009This is just a junk post, one of those that is so random that it possibly makes no sense. You know, like your junk drawer. Just a rambling mess and maybe a good surprise at the bottom. Like when you find your favorite scissors that have been missing for months. That was a happy day! It is after all about the small things.
The sun is shining today!!! I am so thankful because last night they were calling for more flooding in North GA. While we personally haven’t been affected by the flooding I have several friends who have been and they just couldn’t take anymore. And they didn’t have to activate the school alert system to send the kids home early which had also been talked about yesterday. Us Georgians have decided that we would like to send the rain elsewhere for awhile. Who needs it out there? Cause we will be more than happy to send it your way.
I have 3 dogs now. THREE! And when it rains do you know what happens to 3 dogs? Yep, MUD PUDDLES. So, all 3 dogs had a bath this morning and when I got done I felt like I had run a marathon. They are worse than kids.
Giving 3 dogs a bath also means lots of towels to wash. I had finally caught up on all the laundry and now get to start over. Oh what JOY! (insert sarcasm here)
I am leaving Friday for a long awaited weekend away. Some of us Hicktown girls will be traveling to the big city of Atlanta for a Girls weekend out. Thank you Country Inns & Suites for providing the room!! Can’ wait to tell you about all the fun we are gonna have.
