So I got home around 3:30 because work told us all to leave (nice.) I shoveled when I got home, because I knew more snow was coming and shoveling 6-9 inches was harder than 2-3 inches a few different times. (I was using my noggin.) Not to mention at 3:30, it was 9 degrees, and I knew later in the day or tomorrow morning it would be 0 degrees, which is way less fun to hang out in and shovel.
Then around 5:30, I looked out and decided it was time for round two. Here is the before image:
So, like any good shoveler... I started at the garage door and worked my way out of the house to the curb. pushing all snow to the sides, not the street. It went pretty fast. WHY? Well, because I am good (obviously) and because it was 9 degrees and I was getting snowed on (duh.) So I finished it in like 30 minutes. By the time I finished, however, I had to shovel my path back to the garage. See below:
Yea, so then I threw salt. That worked well. See below:
And here I am now, back online, with another 2 inches outside, looking harder for vacation packages, and pre-heating my heating blanket for a long winter's nap!
Happy Feb6 folks!
Sweet dreams... of warm weather and scuba diving...
PS - - Bob, please excuse the delay... I was shoveling. Here are the 6 normal things about me...
1. I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else.
2. I hate traffic and stupid drivers.
3. I love to people watch and point out bad behaviors, hair issues and 80s clothing to make me feel better about myself.
4. I have some debt.
5. I have a great group of friends, and family is important to me.
AND last but not least... number 6. I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends - on here, and in "real life"...
Aren't those all pretty "normal" things?

And here I am, in Tennessee, wishing we would get snow like that. I'm from Ohio, Leavittsburg, which most people have never heard of, and we used to get some serious snow and I LOVED it! Here, if they THINK it's going to snow, everyone goes for milk and bread and the schools close. Ah, the good ole' days. I took Driver's Ed in the snow.
What part of Ohio are you from?
by the way, love the pictures.
Just read back into my Blog Tiners. Your comment about McCain...I could go for that. We'll just have to wait and see how the tide rolls out. Ms. Bubba just scares the hell out of me.
You're going to smack me, but I miss snow so much! We don't get any here, and I grew up in Illinois. Maybe just a day or two would be fun. Oh well, it's still cold and nasty here..in the 30s today.
Did you build a snowman? Make a snow angel?
I'm done with snow. It's February. I don't need any more. And I'm done with the cold, too.
Sorry folks. I am WAYYYY behind... here goes.
Toothy: I went the the dentist this week. I had a filling in number 7 get a hole in it, and had to be fixed. It was easy as pie. Cold sucks.
Doc: I said it after the fact, no blaming that on me. And I took it back in the first sentence
Dan-o: Thanks Man. I am to please.

Bina: Welcome. We are in the good 'ol conservative SE corner of the state. Where the Bengals get arrested and the Reds tease us with off-season acquires. Oh, drivers Ed... I think you inspired my next blog topic.
Dan-o: Amen, again.
JLee: Trade ya for the month of Feb. Deal?
DD: Heck no. It was too cold. I agree. I am ready for it to go away!
TINA Said: Please refrain from using the words sun, warm, sand, pool, beach, and anything 50+ degrees - - - or you may be banned from the blog for the next month..
