wow. today was CRAZY. Me and my mom were at Home Depot,  and then this huge lightning bolt struck and this car alarm went off. I started screaming “OHMIGOD! IT HIT A CAR!” and then my mom started yelling: “HOLY CRAP! THAT’S MY CAR!” And I was just like /whoooooaaaaa/ because earlier, I had been wishing I would get struck by lightning. Who knew that was so close to being reality? If me and my mom had decided to run out in the rain, I could be dead right now. I guess you know what they say, be careful what you wish for. This all sounds very much like Alice Hoffman’s “Ice Queen” but anyways, this whole incident kind of reminded me of something I’d otherwise forgotten. And now that I recall it, I’d have to say it was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was about 5ish? and it was raining very hard, just like today and i was with my dad in the garden department of Home Depot. And there was a suspicious person loose in the building. My dad went to go get the car and i waited by the gate. This was right before they started locking all the doors. So I got locked in, and my dad was out there. And I started crying… They let me out when my dad came up, but it was still pretty scary without him there…

 Well, I’ve got to jet. :\ My dad’s moving the TV/PS2 here into the den with the remodeling and such.
