Diary of a Snow Shoveler…
Dedicated to those of our blogland family in the Northeast US…sending prayers and positive energy that all y’all stay safe and warm!
December 8: 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a lovelier place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had. I shoveled for the first time in years, felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.
December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry; we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man, I’m glad he’s our neighbor.
December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8″ last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.
December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4×4 Blazer. I bought snow tires for the wife’s car and two extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all.
December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for five hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but won’t admit it to her. God I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20
Electricity’s back on, but had another 14″ of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower, and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying.
December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas, because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it’s so cold it probably won’t melt ’til August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel, and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again, I was too tired to shovel! Tried to hire Bob, who has a plow on his truck, for the rest of the winter; but he says he’s too busy. I think the asshole is lying.
December 23
Only 2″ of snow today, and it warmed up to “0”. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What, is she nuts!!! Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she’s lying.
December 24
6″. Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son-of-a-bitch who drives that snowplow, I’ll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over everywhere I’ve just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the Goddamn snowplow.
December 25
Merry F!=3D@x@!x!x1 Christmas. 20 more inches of the !=3D@x@!x!x1 slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God, I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s a fricking idiot. If I have to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” one more time, I’m going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26
Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’s really getting on my nerves.
December 27
Temperature dropped to -30, and the pipes froze. Plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him; he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28
Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. The BITCH is driving me crazy!!!!!
December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver. He is now suing me for a million dollars; not for only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his ass. The wife went home to her mother. 9″ predicted.
December 31
I set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8
Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Hellooooo…..
My Internet is back so I’m “HOME” and doing my Happy Dance!!!!!!
My ex got in between snowstorms with his 4WD and got me to the store so I was well stocked, including batteries. *snicker* (oops, forgot batteries for the alarm backup)
I was afraid I would lose power and/or internet when the storm hit so I pre-scheduled posts for the week. Good thing I did as Monday night, I lost TV and Internet, got the TV back Wednesday night but just got the Internet back today. Lost power for a few hours Tuesday and it flickered every so often but hasn’t since last night so think I’m in good shape, for now. Due for more snow here Monday! Grrrrr (Will have more posts pre-scheduled…just in case.) My ex got in the morning to get me re-stocked as I still can’t get my car out! (Yes, I remembered batteries for the alarm clocks and a few other items.
)Didn’t even try to read blogs since blogger doesn't like my phone and it's impossible to comment. I was only checking email once a day since I had to do it by phone and was afraid of draining the battery. Didn’t want to have a dead phone if the power went! As the week went on, I really began to suffer withdrawal symptoms...missing my friends and blogging so started checking email twice a day.
Thanks to all of you who checked on me. You really touched my heart. I know I owe quite a few people emails and promise to get them answered as soon as I can. Answering from my phone is a pain and also drains the battery.
Just scanning through my reading list and dang, so much has gone on in blog land while I’ve been gone.
Birthday’s for Dragon and Ana…Happy Birthday to both of you.
Women sending pictures to Bas…sorry Bas, none from me…camera’s break when they are pointed at me! Oh my, you do sound handsome!
Cover reveals…woohoo…congrats!
New stories…from Ana on FF and Cassie…will definitely have to read those!
Blogiversaries and DDversaries…congrats!
Rogue’s son is now a Marine…welcome to the Marine Mom’s club Rogue and congrats to your very special son.
And then we have haircuts, communication, respect, new blog names, dryers on the fritz, taxes, yawning during spanking (Really?), DD comparisons, vacations, chocolate, maintenance, RA, reconnection, small but powerful gestures, new bloggers, dictators, Clitoral Tugs (Definitely a must-read!), frills and lace, leniency, consistency, distancing (with pickles
), drama, cliques, stress, PMS, dieting, effort and follow-through, definitions of an HoH, art, recipes, etc. Sheesh, got tired just reading the opening blurbs about some of the one's I’ve missed and haven’t even gotten through all of them! Will read as I get a chance and ya might get a ‘late to the party’ comment but then again, ya might not. *teehee*
Thought I would share a few pictures…

Market Research
FYI: This section is not a giggle or a grin unfortunately. A good portion of the midwest US is due for extremely severe weather...snow storms and blizzards. I have pre-scheduled posts so that if I lose internet or power, you will still have your daily fix of giggles but it may be a few days before I can respond to your comments or to emails or comment or your blog.
Now on to our story...
A man doing market research knocked on a door. He was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet.
He says, "I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?"
She says, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time."
"And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?"
"We use it for sex."
The researcher was a little taken back.
He replied with candor, "Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?"
The woman says, "I don't mind telling you at all. My husband and I put it on the door knob to keep the kids out."
Helpful hint for those of you with small kids?
