SO yep it came, the big bad snowstorm of 2011!! And actually I wasn't all that impressed. I mean yes I do realize we got a ton of snow but I was preparing for alot more than what we got. Maybe it was all the hype of it all, but nonetheless it did come and go leaving me with a a sore back from shoveling! What a great year for us to be lazy (honestly) and NOT fix the snow blower. Well, the other reason we didn't bring it home this year was because there is just no room for it in our garage!! If you have ever seen our garage with the door open you would chuckle. My Yukon fits about nose to tail, and Scott's new truck actually has about 1/4 inch room from hitting the top of the door jam as he drives it in!! Any who I started shoveling today with help from Aidyn (who actually is getting pretty good at slinging the white around I might add) and after about 6 minutes Reese sniffed us out and here she came. All bundled up and ready to help, but when I explained to her we didn't have any more shovels she insisted that she could just move it with her hands.... Mind you the snow was up to my knees, SO that didn't work and she took my un-hired help with her to the play set. I yelled for Ash to come out, sometimes I think I'm better without help, and in between trying to shoot hoops now and again he managed to shovel some too. Rileigh on the other hand replied with a "no thanks" when asked to come help. Huh, I too should of tried that one. The neighbor across the way did ask if I wanted to "USE" his snow blower. I nicely replied "oh no thanks that's ok". Inside my head I was really saying "seriously, you can't just walk over here and do it for me??" HAHA. IF you know me then you know that using a snow blower isn't too far fetched for me, but that is one piece of equipment that I have honestly never used by myself.
Anyhow, here is sit at the end of our Blizzard of a day, blogging while listening to my friends blog song list which has a song from our "Chocolate Women's Retreat that I have lostened to over and over and over, with my feet propped on the coffee table, lap warm from the laptop, and my bestest doggie daughter "Ellie" at me side.
Oh , that reminds me, I found a new baby (you should know that I am having the baby itch, but not for a human baby, but another Yorkie baby) and I actually even went to the breeders house thinking my husband would surely know I was that serious about getting another dog, but it did NOT work! So nothing left to do but leave subtle hints here and there.... My birthday is coming in a couple weeks so maybe??? So goodnight to all, blizzard shmizzard, oh and yes Scott did get to work today as he promised on Tuesday. "I won't get snowed in, I have 4WD and a full day booked! "...... Text just came in that school is canceled for tomarrow. ok now snow storm were are going to have words!! I wish I could text back to the school system....and that's a whole other blog........
