No, you are not dreaming. I'm blogging 2 days in a row....
I'm snowed in again today. Technically we didn't have school anyway today, but teachers were supposed to come in to work on grades. But, I'm stuck at home again. I currently have banana bread in the oven and am about to dig into school work.
Tony and I attempted to go cross-country skiing yesterday....it didn't really work, there is too much snow and it just stuck to our skis, we basically walked, so we ditched our skis and just took a walk in the winter wonderland. Then we cleaned off our 3 cars (yes we have one that doesn't really work and we are going to try to sell it or fix it or something.
Living in the city is annoying during "snow emergencies". those of you who live in cities know that there are crazy parking rules. today we can only park on the odd side of the street, tomoroow the even...
Anyway, car #3 was all set on the odd side of the road. Tony has car #1 at work. So that leave car #2 with me here at home. Well, #2 is parked back in the parking lot behind our building, except on snow days, we are supposed to move it by 8am so that the plow can come through. So, being the great tenant I am, I decided i would move it out to the street. I saw that there was a prime spot open out front, so I ventured out into the 2 feet of snow. That was a big mistake.
I backed #2 out of my spot and got stuck in the middle of our parking lot. really stuck. i couldn't more back or forward. so i got the snow shovel out in an attempt to dig myself out. it was not working, so I did what any wife would do. I called my husband. not that he could do anything for me from work, but i needed some moral support. anyway, about 1/2 hour later i successfully dug myself out. meanwhile, out on the street...somone took the spot I had my eye on, so i cirlced the block a couple time...not stopping at any stop signs for fear i would get stuck. (don't worry i'm wrapping this up..almost). so i parked on a plowed street a block away and finally went in. so i'm in the shower and i realize that i left the shovel right in the middle of hte lot in the back and the plow would be here any minute....so i rushed out of the shower and went outside with a towel on my head to retrieve the shovel.
all this adventure happend from 7am to 8am (yes, it took an hour). it's now 9:30 and there has been NO PLOWS come through our lot or our street......
other than that, the snow is really pretty and it's kinda cool being stranded...maybe I can convince tony to play board games and drink hot chocolate tonight......
sorry for the long story...you people said you wanted me to blog more...so this is what you get....
the banana bread is done...yippeeee

Call your lonely twin in Cali. That should kill a few seconds of your snow day.
