\"\"<\/a>This is Mistaya and I all dressed up and ready to go to the theatre Friday night…<\/p>\n

It all started after Mist’s Basketball practice on Friday night. The van refused to start–everything kept dying. Finally got it going–drove home for a quick bite to eat. Mist and I got all ready to go down town for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” at the Kelowna Theatre–one of Mist’s friends had a small part in it.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I could see that there was a layer of solid fresh ice from the freezing rain outside but thought I should try it, as I had spent $50 on the tickets and I have studs on my winter tires. Backing out of the drive way was a disaster. The studs were useless…the van skated sideways across the drive. Everything is a hill up here–so I was either going to roll the van or slide all over the road and end up being hit. I couldn’t even move the van , it kept sliding towards the hill on our lawn. I had Mist jump out the back (shoeless) and run up the lawn to get her dad. Peter and I struggled to get the van off the driveway and then back in the garage. I was terrified we would roll, yet there was no way out of the van–the drive was solid inch thick ice and steep. I took off my Fluevogs, held onto the open van door and crept my way towards the lawn.\u00a0<\/div>\n
So, blasted if we weren’t trapped at home for the night! Sometimes living on a mountain top sucks!\u00a0<\/div>\n
Peter ended up having a camp-out in front of the fire with Tabs and Pip and Mist rescued the night by planning a last minute sleepover at a friends house down the street. She put my ice picks on the bottom of her shoes and made it safely to Maddi’s.<\/div>\n
Yesterday was a great day! I was sooo nervous about my presentation…but it went off without a hitch and she gave the marks out to us at class’ end–I got 30\/30!!! I am so happy! She really liked how I moved my hands when I spoke–who would have thought my wild hand talking would come in handy! Then some of the class met at Brandt Creek Pub afterward. I caught a ride over with the Dean (our friend Robert). It was such fun! I was only able to stay an hour or so, but I had such fun chatting with some classmates etc.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Peter has just arrived home with the Tabs from swimming…must go.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
