I need something to calm me down as I'm still shaking from my drive to work this morning. A large truck quickly stopped in front of me while we were traveling at 70 mph I braked, but my car immediately went into a skid and started to swerve out of control across commute-hour traffic. That Carrie Underwood song she sang last week - Jesus take the wheel - came to mind, as I don't know how but no one hit me as my car careened out of control. I remembered to steer into the skid and safely landed, completely unscathed, facing the right direction on the shoulder. 8:00 in the morning is just a wee bit too early in my book to be shaken AND stirred!

A strong hot chocolate with LOTS of whipped cream is in order, I think. Whew! Is is Friday yet?
