1. Laughter is marvelous for relationships... glad y'all got a good one-- especially with you having to be gone over the holidays!!!
2. One of the roommates, The Canadian, got stuck getting in the driveway. Mr Wonderful said "darn." anyway, he put chains on it, and now it's in the correct parking place...
3. Mr W is getting up at 8am to get my car on the road. Apparently he's determined to get me back to work. BUT that's only if it rains tonight... or i am here for Day #20. sigh.
(I guess i need to stay up all night to see if it's raining...)

How did I know you'd spot the irony in my words
There is irony in your words of death for all Arborists to see, and so there is irony in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the irony. It must come from men. The words of Ten Beers carries the same irony of life and death. It is good that sawyers such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.

Mr W has been my best friend for a very very long time... and yes, life is better with him back in his home... he was delighted with my Taco Soup and home made biscuits for dinner... as were all the returning roommates... and now we get to watch it snow again!!! WHooo Hoooo!!!

10 beers it will be then, along with 10 beers for Gary to protect me from the woman who worries too much about the snow in Washington. And maybe I will bring my brother, whose Indian name is Ten Beers. He typically drinks more like a 12 pack though. Then there is myself, so I am going to have to bring a lot of beer...

Diary of a Demented Snow Sniveler
>> 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 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!
>> 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 inches 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 4x4
Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2
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 butt on the ice in
The driveway putting down salt. Hurt like mad. 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 5 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. Gads, I hate it when
she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own
living room.
>> December 20
Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of
The darned stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all
Day. The stupid 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 junk fell today, and it's so cold,
It probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes
To get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I
Had to pee. By the time I got undressed, peed 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
jerk is lying.
>> December 23
Only 2 inches 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 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke
The shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I
Ever catch the idiot who drives that snow
Plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his neck 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 where 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 darned snowplow
>> December 25 Merry _ _ _ _ Christmas!
20 more inches of the darned slop tonight - Snowed in
The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. Gads, 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 hopeless
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 -20. Still snowed in. The wife 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, and now
he is 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 his bum.
The wife went home to her mother.
Nine more inches predicted.
>> December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
>> January 8
Feels so good. I just love those little white pills
they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?
