It's been well over a month since my last blog post, but I was so overwhelmed by the Tide's big win, followed by the Saints victory, that I have been too excited to post!
I wish....
In all honesty, the last month has been a storm of excitement of a different kind---the kind no one wants, like car accidents (yes, plural ), water main leaks, real estate contracts gone awry, and the flu. I suppose the flu was the highlight...it was just "regular" and not "swine", so that was a good thing, as my friend Martha would say.
None of ya'll wanted to read about that anyway, so consider it a gift.
But now it's snowing and my sweet pup Rudy just loves it. I love it, too, because it meant a half day at work, followed by the President's Day holiday on Monday...it's kinda like a four-day weekend, if your into a "stretch".
The downside of the snow is our new driveway, which is simultaneously long and steep. I heard several "Whatcha gonna do when it snows?" comments from folks when they first saw the house, and well, I just rolled my eyes. What did they know? Who worries about that?
Hello today.
There's no getting down the driveway...not in a car, not on foot. So, my Mini sits perched at the top as we speak, and I consider myself lucky to be inside because my "trip" down was quite remarkable. Purse in one hand and McDonald's in the other, I set out on foot, sans shoes. Within ten feet I realized it was a disaster waiting to happen. There were two options. I could go back to the car and sit, or just sit down right there and slide on down to homebase.
I chose the latter. My feet are still like ice blocks, my McDonalds was lost somewhere halfway, and the pants I wore to work, well, there not exactly "professional" any longer.
Stay warm, enjoy the snow, or whatever, and enjoy the pics.

You got it...that long black patch...I was there.
The car's at the top...it was a long way down. 
He should be in a dog show...well, maybe not.
