Dashing through the effing snow!

Well, I apologize for the lack of post yesterday. I know I signed up for the Holidailies, but I had important personal stuff to take care of. My hubby underwent ear surgery today, and we had to get ready for it. My in-laws flew in from Chicago last night at 10, and I was just too tired to post when I came home.

And today wasn’t peachy. The surgery went well, thank God, but there were other things to take care of that made my day a very stressful one. Fortunately we all made it home safe, but what the *beep* is wrong with Kansas City’s contingency plans when it snows like crazy???

Seriously, I don’t know about the rest of the city or JoCo, but Overland Park was a freaking sliding park. The job the city did cleaning the streets was ridiculous (or they probably didn’t do crap), not even the main roads were decent to drive, it was scary as hell… and people are just stupid when driving in a snow storm. STUPID! I’m seriously thinking about getting a sledge, or one of those Skidoos Canadians are so fond of. That way I can hit the karaoke bar every weekend for a couple of bières like in my old days in the good ol’ Saguenay.

Maybe it’s all Canada’s fault that I’m so spoiled when it comes to safe Winter driving; in the Great White North, hordes of plows come out before a storm hits like an army of Transformers. Yes, they are used to the white, fluffy crap. But come on, KC HAS a Winter season, snow will hit at some point or another, so DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Winter hasn’t even officially started, so what’s going to happen next? This is the first Winter I have to go out in a car around this area, and I’m completely shocked… it is insane!

Now that my vent is over, I will proceed to relax for the rest of the evening, and probably go to bed early. I have another interview tomorrow, I need all the sanity I can recover from this crazy day.

Para Que No Se Repita


December 12 through January 9 5:30-8:00 p.m.
6th Street Gallery – 1017 N 6th St, KCK

Para Que No Se Repita is an exhibit that celebrates the cultures of Colombia, Guatemala and Peru and addresses the human rights abuses of their violent past. The reception marks the 60th anniversary of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The exhibit aims to educate the public about human rights worldwide and to help them understand the relevance of the UDHR in their lives presently. It may seem that these countries are far away but the United States has involvement in all of the countries.

The exhibit features photographs by Jonathan Moller, Kara Erickson and Robert Thatch. Musical entertainment will be provided by local group The Andean Express from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Sponsored by Amnesty International, The Colombia Support Network and The YWCA.
