Wintergeddon

So on 2/3 I was in a car accident. For those of you that don't know - the Dallas/Ft. Worth area experienced HORRIBLE weather the week before the Superbowl.  My job was closed most of the week (I work for the state - unemployment - nuff said...maybe I will blog about my unemployment stories) and of course on Thursday, they decided to open late. If anyone works for the state especially the unemployment office in Texas - they NEVER close.


Anyway, I was on my way to work - on the freeway and my car hit a patch of ice and started sliding towards the part of the freeway that has no metal/cement barrier - you know I was sliding off the freeway so I turned my wheel all gentle like because I was completely calm. I have been in a car accident before...but I continued to slide. Like a hockey puck on ice. Right into the middle lane. The car in that lane didn't hit me. But I continued to slide right into the far left lane where a Dodge Ram 5100 truck, with guard rail and that stuff that looks like the metal stairs on WWE hit me. At full speed.  Kind of like that truck below...but bigger and with more.....guardrail.
