Woe is me! Woe is me! Okay, so I don't have snow. I have ice. We don't get much snow here - we get ice. Yesterday was incredibly strange. We went (or rather tried to) to Taco Bueno. They were closed!! Good grief - the roads were all mushy, but still passable. I mean, this isn't like Denver or Pueblo where you have to dig your way out to your car to slap the chains on your tires.
So what you do for fun is...you take an old timey' wash bucket from your in laws', you put a light spray of Pam cooking spray on the bottom, sit it at the top of an icy hill (at a field - not near the road), stick your kid in, and give him a shove. The insane mix between shrill laughter and the look of exhiliration on his face will make you grin bigger than a puppy eating cat poop without getting caught.
Speaking of dogs...Pup Dog is officially disgusting in my book (and that's a pretty dang big book). If there is one thing that Dumb Dog has over Pup Dog is that Dumb Dog knows that you drop something when I say "Drop it" or you just plain stay out of it. So, Friday night Bry-onicle was watching season one of Transformers and I was trying to finish reading Silence of the Lambs. Pup Dog runs and hides by the fireplace. I am thinking that he's chewing on wood. So I go to one side and Bry-onicle closes in on the other side. Pup Dog runs right to me; just chewin' away on something. I told him to drop it and opened my hand...and he did. The one time the stupid puppy listens to me he drops a big old juicy cat turd in my hand.
Oh and one more note on the "woe is me" category...Peterson is going pro!! Giving up his last year of eligibility. I told The Cop Magnet he was going to do it. I mean, really, let's balance this out - a Heisman Trophy or a few milling bucks in the bank? Gee, what would you choose?
So while I will remain a true...crimson Sooner fan until the Jesus calls me home, I think that we are at least two years away from a championship...because now we have to break in new players.
We have ice and snow in Illinois. Not every much snow though thank goodness. Ice scares me more than snow. On Saturday and Sunday I think my windshield must have had 3 inches which I had to scrape off before driving. I hate cold weather since I am originally from Florida. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Not a single snowflace or ice here, except what is in my freezer. Birds are outside chirping, spring has sprung and it's insane! We skipped winter entirely.
We're icy here in western New York too!!
Hey to another practical lady!
