Lovely, Just Lovely

This is what I'm gonna need for you to do......

Good thoughts, prayers - whatever. I'm trying to move. I'm doing as much as possible this week so that it goes nice and smooth (yeah, right) on Saturday. Well, at least as smooth as possible.

I just heard we're expecting a dilly of a snow storm on Wednesday. Not.What.I. Need.

Now - after living in Florida for 10+ years I learned not to really listen to the weather people. HOWEVER - this is Tammi's Moving Week so, yes, I believe them.

YIKES!!

So we're gonna need for that snow to miss us this week. (Sorry T1G - you can have your snow later - I just need this week)

Also - I have a confession. And before I get all your knee-jerk reactions - remember. I'm a girl.

OK - here goes.

I have never shoveled snow. Ever. In my whole life.

Growing up we had a plow. Married? 3 boys. Then - Florida.

I just about got stuck getting out of my drive this morning. At the new house tonite I had to park on the street and haul the boxes up the drive - I didn't think I could get in or out of the drive.

So tomorrow I buy a snow shovel. Then - go to the new house after work and shovel the drive. Unload the car and come home. Shovel that drive and walk. (Can't expect my movers to trudge through all that snow - it's not polite.)

So yet another reason I don't need any more snow this week. Please? Please!! I won't complain one more time this winter if it just doesn't snow until after Sunday.

(Yeah, right - and I've got some swamp land for sale in Arizona!)

Surely there's someone near you with a snowblower or plow...

You -and the impending snow storm of doom- are in my prayers, Tammi!

Shovel snow? [shudder] I must remember not to complain about Florida again for awhile... ;)

Don't forget the ice melt to sprinkle all over the shoveled walks and drives. Ice is worse than snow for your movers AND for you!

Think of the breakables in the boxes....vs ice....

Ice melt? Feh.

Just buy water softener salt. Works just as well and it's cheaper.

Meanwhile, find a neighbor with a snowblower & bake stuff for him.

Worked for MY neighbor :-)
