Bad Drivers

HOW CAN THEY IMPROVE THE NEW FORD TRUCK OR CAR?

--Put a CHEVY engine in it!

OK, I'm thinking that after almost getting hit by like 4 different drivers in the past week it is a sign that I needed to blog about it. I swear some people should just not be allowed to drive. No offense to anyone reading this if you are a bad driver. But then again, no one thinks that they themselves are bad drivers, which is another issue in it of itself. Anyways, it all started when I was going to see my cousin Dallas in his Jr. high play. I drove up there with my cousin Mallory and her boyfriend Tyler. We were getting on the on-ramp by Thanksgiving Point and if you are familiar with that on-ramp it is two lanes that eventually merge into one. So, we were turning left to hop on the freeway and a big Ford truck was getting on the on-ramp as well. For some reason Mr. trucker man thought it was a good idea to take his turn SUPER wide and at 65 mph. When I say super wide I mean so wide he was 2 inches away from the side of my door. I just thought to myself, "Umm hi? Hello? Sorry we got in your way Mr. Ford."

As a side note, CHEVY'S are so much cooler than Fords. I mean that is a sweet ride! Just throwin' that out there. Now, if this Mr. Ford man was driving a Chevy and took the turn a little too wide, I wouldn't have cared really. I would have said, "OK Mr. Chevy come on over, take all the space you need. We wouldn't want to scratch that pretty truck of yours." Haha okay, okay, I wouldn't really say that but that would be funny if I did! No offense to those of you who like Ford trucks. :) Anywhos, that was my first experience of about getting hit.

The second experience was the other day I was driving to the store, minding my business, yada, yada, yada next thing I know this guy in a little Honda just starts comin' over into my lane. Of course I lay on the horn and it takes him about 8 seconds (8 seconds too long) to even realize I am honking and that he is getting close to my car. Come on buddy! Let's open your eyes a little bit and look a little more carefully. I mean I know it's hard to see my big black Jeep but I mean let's be real you're probably not a good driver in the first place. Sorry! The best part of this whole thing was that when I passed him his arms were stiff as a board and his hands were clinched so tight around the steering wheel. Obviously I was going to give him the stare down after he tried to pull a Jeff Gordon on me, but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw how scared he looked. Poor guy. Good times though! :) So those were some of my fun driving experiences this week. I'm sure you all can relate and hopefully it makes you laugh a little bit :)

Random Thought for the Day:

My home teachers just came by for their monthly visit and their message hit me really hard today. Their message was on President Uchtdorf's article in this months Ensign. It is about looking at the glass half full. Sometimes when you are struggling it is easier to see the negative side of things rather than the positive. So, I would challenge all of you readers to try to look for the positive things in life, whether that be in a friend, a spouse, a situation, etc. I promise that if you do you will be happier! There are so many wonderful, good things in this world that we might overlook if we are looking at the glass half empty. :)
