snow

Today marked the second official driveway shoveling of the season. Technically it was my first time… but I did shovel the sidewalk last week so that should count for something.

I always get all mad while shoveling, because I know it’s just going to melt. Maybe in a week (like every time it snowed last year) or maybe not until next spring. Either way it will melt. I say let’s just leave it for a season and see what happens. Nick and I both have 4WD vehicles. So maybe everyone else will struggle a bit… not my problem. Oh well, guess this is the price I pay for wanting to be nice. *sigh*

In other news, tomorrow’s my last official work day before leaving for Belize. Yesssssss. Hopefully the fit won’t hit the shan and everything will go well so I can finish all the stuff I wanted to get done.

And hopefully no more snow until we’re out of here!!

Well it’s December 1st… the beginning of the last month of the year. We are finally getting some snow that seems to be sticking around. I guess it’s to be expected, being December and all. It also makes me glad that I’m getting out of this dump in a few more days. It’s nice to leave all the snow and craziness of the holiday hustle and bustle behind.

Although it’s always neat when it first snows. It’s so new, it’s been 8 or 9 months after all, and with the snow comes the thoughts of the holidays, holiday treats, warm wooly socks, getting cozy by the fire… But then pretty soon the holidays are over, January, February and March roll around. The snow is dirty and ugly, the thought of shoveling one more time makes you cringe, you’re at your wits end at the horrible winter drivers, the act of suiting up before going outside is getting really, really old and you realize… you don’t have a fireplace.

I guess there’s something to say about the warm weather vacations that occur over spring break after all…

Oh well, Belize get ready, because we’ll be tearing up your quaint little town soon!! :bobble:
