An impulse buy I made in February actually came in handy yesterday – a shovel for the trunk of my car.
“Wait!” you’re thinking. “Wasn’t Thursday the first day of Spring?”
Why yes, yes it was.
But that didn’t stop 2 and a half feet from miraculously collecting behind my car at the train station.
I just want to whine. And maybe someone who didn’t have to deal with our freak snow storm will feel sorry for me?
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
I feel very, very sorry for you. You guys have had more than your share of winter, and deserve to have SPRING NOW.
I would send you some of our abundant sunshine if I only could …
You won’t get TOO much sympathy from me… I’ve got a shovel in my trunk for those days I get snowed in at the airport, which has been at least ten times over the past several years. 🙂
I feel for ya! It snowed here yesterday too – nothing stuck, but it was coming down and I had a 2.5 hr drive during it.
Yay for impulse buying!
Aw, I’m sorry! I’m glad you got to use your shovel 😉 but when we had the blizzard a few weeks ago, I was sure happy to have a shovel and not just an ice scraper like most people!!!! 😀
so this may not be a good time to mention that we had maybe one decent snow storm all winter….
Actually, I was kinda having my own pity party thinking that its only going to be in the 40s for Easter, but I realize now, I have nothing to be sad about. At least I don’t have to use a shovel to get home. You guys had it rough this winter and I hope spring is your reward!
Wow….I do feel sorry for you. Sucks to be you!!! It was 65 and sunny here yesterday!!!!
I’ll whine with you. I am soooo tired of winter. We got snow yesterday, ice last night and another 4 inches of snow today. When will it ever end?
SJ – I was hoping you would have some pity for me 😉 Hee hee
Dave2 – Alright, alright, good point. There is nothing worse than arriving at your car from a great trip and seeing it covered in snow, especially when you JUST WANT TO GET HOME!!!
Lisa – 2.5 hours! Yikes! I hate how even when it is snowing lightly, the visibility is still awful. Glad you made it home okay!
Gina (Mannyed) – we are supposed to get a blazing hot summer here. Maybe that is Mother Nature’s way of saying “I’M sorry”? Or maybe she could say it by pounding you guys with snow next year – JUST KIDDING! 🙂
Quinn and Susan – S-O J-E-A-L-O-U-S
Robin – That is the worst mix. At this point, I don’t think it is ever going to end! 🙁
