What all can you do in a one hour break?
You could eat lunch, watch TV, take a hot bath, even take a nap …
or you can shovel snow for 60 minutes!
Today, I chose the last option after all the snow that has come down since last night.
Because we don’t have a fancy snow blower like EVERY one of our neighbors and using a shovel takes a lot longer I got to finish only half of our driveway. I decided to clear Mitch’s side so he can actually get into the garage after a long day of work. Awe… J
I don’t remember the last time I saw this much snow! Who would’ve thought snow shoveling is a workout. The first 30 minutes are somewhat fun, but after that you start feeling muscles you never felt before. I know I’ll be sleeping good tonight. Why did we want a long driveway again?
Here’s a picture of my lunch activity today.

Yes it is winter…
Oh how fast it can come down! I was enjoying my nice, week long annual work meeting in Phoenix when I received a phone call from Doreen, this is how it went:
M: what up
D: we got a foot of snow, we dont have a snow shovel and I can’t get out
M: Oh come on, a foot of snow?
D: Um yeha, come home
Well I didn’t exactly rush to the airport or anything (actually went to get a drink), but i did feel bad for Doreen! While i was enjoying nice 65 degree weather in Phoenix, D was witnessing and living her first REAL snowfall in many many many years. To say the least, D did a great job purchasing her first shovel and clearing the driveway! Has anyone else been in the situation in which all your neighbors have these expensive heavy duty snow-blowers and you are hauling your butt just to get HALF of the driveway completed? Well, when i came back, that’s exactly what happened! to be precise, my neighbor snow-blew his driveway, went inside for about 30 minutes, came back out and did it again by the time i was completed! Oh well, some purchases just have to wait…….
The past month has been very busy (as for most) from the three Christmas weekends with the family and friends, to the awesome wedding of Brian and Gretchen Lange! Congratulations, you two are so much fun and perfect for each other. We also had a great New Year’s with friends in which we got a free limo ride home for the establishment.
Doreen has been awesome in preparing for the wedding; in the past two weeks we’ve got a rehearsal dinner place, photographer, florist, baker, and many more (I can’t keep up!). D, mom, and Ash went to a bridal show this past weekend and got some great ideas and recommendations. I know D really appreciates their input and help in all of this, and I would like to thank you too.
Hope everyone had a good start into the new year, 2009 will be great!
