K so I totally forgot to mention in my "review of December" that I HIT a DEER! Ok Ok, so I really didn't full on "HIT" a deer, it was more of a tap. I remember it like yesterday....
It was a cold night and I was making my long journey home from the airport and I actually had to stay a little late so by the time I was close to home it was about 11:30pm and I was pooped! I had the heater on cause I was still cold from workin' out in the snow and the eyes were getting heavy. I was seriously struggling to keep them open. I was actually smacking my face every now and again to try to stay awake. I finally turned off the heater and it sorta helped....ok not really....but needless to say all you need to see is a deer right in the middle of the road to make your eyes go the size of softballs. I had always learned that your not supposed to swerve in the direction that the deer is headed because he'll most likely keep going that way, so your supposed to just stay straight. WELL.... since it was my first time having to slam on my breaks, my instinct took over and I started to swerve and slam on the breaks with both feet. (Luckily I had learned that I needed to push on the breaks as hard as I can when you need to stop cause I didn't realize that 15 days after I got my license and hit a Domino's pizza delivery guy) So I was thinkin' of that moment and knew I needed to use all my force. Anyway, I stopped just in time for my car to BARELY knick the hind legs of the ginormous deer. I'm not kiddin'. That thing was a huge buck with huge antlers and it was standing directly in front of my car! I swear it looked at me like, "Uh....what the eff? I'm just tryin' to cross the street here!" and then he ran off. I'll tell you what, my adrenaline was soarin' and I didn't have heavy eyes until after I got home. My immediate reaction was, "Oh, I gotta call Jason" but then I was thinkin', he's probably asleep and nothing actually happened... I'm ok and my car is perfectly fine. So I got home and sure enough he's sound asleep and so I waited til morning to tell him!
So that's my, "I hit a deer story"! I like the fact that it sounds worse than it actually was, but now I can say that I've hit a deer! Hopefully that is the last time too!
(Ok, I'm not trying to rub it in but...... I am leaving for Hawaii in three days!!! Yay! 10 days in the nice warm weather! )

That is so scary! Where were you? I think if you are sick of your condo you should move right on in to my neighborhood! Just a thought! ;) So jealous about Hawaii!
Jealous! I want to go to Hawaii so bad or really any vacation on a beach! Have fun and soak up some sun for me! :-)
Hawaii? Sheesh. Lucky dog. So I agree, we do need to catch up. Shoot me an email at klatimer06@gmail.com letting me know what you're up to, and I'll shoot one back! It beats leaving comments! (Not that there's anything wrong with that. Every blogger loves a good comment.)
What the...??? You never told me that and we talk 3 times a day sometimes...Hello great. You need to move back to the city sista! :)
