STSA # 73: Diary Of A Snow Shoveler

Happy New Year to you and yours from us and ours! It appears most of the country – even parts of the deep south – are starting 2011 under a blanket of white, and while many will rejoice and celebrate all the glory and purity of snow, I am not among that group. Nor is my new anti-snow BFF Denise in Chicago – who sent me this little gem.

Stay safe!

January 6

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!

January 7

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and 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.

Snowed again. Hard. Fell on my butt on the icy mess in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for one hour, which I think was very cruel.

January 9

10 more inches. My wife says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does she think I am?

January 10

Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver. He is now suing me for a million dollars not only for the beating I gave him but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up where the sun don’t shine. The wife went home to her mother. 9″ predicted.

January 11

I set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 12

Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Thanks for sharing, Natalie. That helps add a little perspective to my typical resolutions. How about instead we all resolve to take life a little less seriously but a little more passionately?
