So, I'm in Colorado spending the winter break with my mom and little sister. It has been an interesting time so far and I haven't even been here a whole week yet. Usually when I come to Colorado I always leave with a funny story and this visit is not different in that area.
First of all, when my mom moved up here, she bought a love seat and it was strapped to the roof of her jeep and we brought it home. Unfortunately, it started to down pour while we were driving home and so the love seat was soaked by the time we drove the 15 minutes home. When we did get home, we had to unstrap it from the roof which was super funny because we couldn't see nor could we stop laughing. Our dog thought that we were in trouble and tried to jump through the screen part of the screen door; he managed to pop out the bottom and then was biting it. This made me laugh even harder which isn't good because the love seat was still on the roof. Finally we got it down and then we had to get it through the front door which was a whole new challenge. Every time I remember that part I always think of that one "Friends" episode when Ross is trying to get a couch up to his apartment and he keeps yelling "pivot"; I smile whenever I think of that. Anyway, the love seat survived and it's now my bed when I come to visit.
Well, the story that I have from this visit is also a funny one. My mom came home from work and parked out front because we were going to eat a quick dinner and then go to the store. Sadly, it had been snowing all day and her jeep got stuck. It wouldn't grip anything and the tires were just spinning. So, my little sister and I got out and started to push, trying everything. We even had our mom put the car in neutral to see if that would work; not a good idea when it's on a hill and you're on the downside of that hill pushing. We slowly got her out into the street but she still wasn't gripping anything. Becca (little sister) had fallen and I was close to falling a few times. Then this guy came to help us and we eventually got the jeep out of there. It was so funny and I wish that I had my camera with me.
Also, as the title says there have been many moments of fishtailing in just the past three days. One time my mom turned right and the jeep started fishtailing so she tried to correct it (my mom is very good at not freaking out and handling the problem). Anyway, she corrected a little too much and we ended up hitting the medium in the middle of the road. Thankfully, no one was coming and she was able to correct the jeep and we were off again. There other times when we had fishtailed so much that we were facing the wrong way on the street. Thankfully, each time there had not been any other cars around and no one was hurt, although we all were laughing uncontrollably.
And there was another time when we had dropped off Becca at her friend's house and we were trying to leave. The jeep was stuck again. So, I got out and started pushing and slid right on to my face. Snow got up my sleeves and my face was so cold! I stood up laughing; my knees were a little bruised because I landed on them but I was fine.
Anyway, that's the story of my adventures so far and I still have at least 3 weeks left. I can't wait to see what happens.
