Okay, I consider this a family-friendly website. So consider this fair warning that while the link I’m about to provide is at worst PG-13, some of the other images on that site are not. So if you decide to browse that site, you are responsible for any items that burn your retinas and cause you sleepless nights. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached a new low in art. I give you Tiny Bubbles.

Geez, I didn’t even notice until now! Do you think it would have made a difference in my life if I had? Probably not.

Me: I’d like a Whopper Junior with Cheese, no onion no pickles.

Drive Thru “Person”: What size?

What the hell kind of question is that. Are you telling me that the Whopper Junior comes in multiple sizes? Or are you telling me that you’re barely paying attention to my order?

Gosh, I missed Friday! Sorry about that, kids. I actually had some web development work to do and I got kind of absorbed by it. You know how it is, right?

So it’s the weekend, huh? I think maybe I’ll sit my butt down on the couch and just not move for the entire day. Does that sound bad? Ya. It does. Okay, I’ll try to come up with some other options.

Yikes, that was some nasty stuff. The snowblower refused to move the stuff down at the end of the driveway. I am seriously very lucky that my back isn’t broken from the effort to remove the snow from the driveway. Heavy isn’t the word for it. I eventually just put the snowblower away because it wasn’t doing much for me. The slush was basically gurgling up over the top of the blower back onto the ground in a new location.

Junior was ever so slightly more helpful this time around. He had a little wagon and he was taking lumps of “coal” to the “garbage factory”.

Me: So wait, it’s a factory that makes garbage?

Him: Ya, the dumptrucks come and get it.

Hey, it made shovelling interesting anyway.

Okay, so we got our ice and snow storm, and didn’t lose any trees. The power did go out for about ten minutes in the middle of the night – I happened to hear the big popping sound down at the substation right before it happened. Power was only off for 10 minutes, luckily. I have to say, we’ve had amazing luck with the electricity in this house (other than the night it went out 5 minutes before they announced the winner of the 2nd Survivor and didn’t come back on for 2 hours). It might have something to do with being so close to the substation AND that our power lines are all underground. I have to say, it makes for clean lines AND nobody can knock out our power by ramming into a pole.

I told my dad this morning that last night around midnight when I was watching it snow, it was sticking to everything like blown-in insulation. I knew it was that back-breaking sticky wet snow. And now it’s time for me to go outside and deal with it. I guess it’s going to be my first attempt to use the snowblower. Wish me luck.
