I admit it, I like to see my driveway perfectly cleared off.
Some sort of cleaning issue I have, I guess. If there's snow on the driveway, then the inside of the house isn't clean. Blah blah blah. Weird, untrue, insane even maybe, but I can't help thinking when you have a snow covered driveway that you look like lazy people.
So, we got 2" last night. And it's warm this morning, like nearly 40 or so (just checked accuweather to be sure before I posted this), so after the busses left, I went and grabbed the ergonomic snow shovel my sweet husband bought me this year.
F.O.R.G.E.T I.T.
Crap, it's heavy. Seriously heavy snow. I mean like my arms and back are killing me and all I did was the walk and maybe 10' of the drive. F.O.R.G.E.T I.T. We are slobs, people. I am not shoveling that. Too bad. I know it's going to be down to like 8 degrees tonight, and it's going to freeze over and be hell, but it's too damn heavy. If I finished the entire drive, I'd never have the energy to go to Jazzercise, and that just would not work for me at all.
So, go on, drive by my house, see the snow covered drive and assume we're slobs. For the record, we kind of are anyway, so it's liberating to think I'm portraying myself more true, huh?
Yeah, liberating. A snow covered drive is liberating, right?
How many people that read this realize I'll go back out and finish it or I'll never go to sleep tonight????

Yeah, I knew you'd finish it sooner or later, Doreen. I'm with you - in NY I used to be the one out there shoveling our stoop and the sidewalk in front of our house - I just couldn't stand the thought that it would get all frozen over if I didn't.
Have fun! And you'll deserve an extra bowl of raisin bran, for that. ;)
I won't say a thing about your snow if you don't say a thing about all the moss I have growing in my front yard.
