I joke about the "hero" thing because I had two different people label me that (jokingly, of course!) in the past few days.
Thursday night it started snowing. I know...it's New England; big deal. By the time Friday morning rolled around, we had over a foot of snow on the ground instead of the 1-3 inches that were predicted. And it kept snowing!
My fabulous cousin Kristin and I not only live near each other, but now work in the same office. So, we chatted. We debated a little. We decided to suck it up; dig out and go to work. So I swung by and picked her (and her son) up. We arrived just before noon to an almost empty office and looking like rock stars. By the time we departed a little after 4PM, I had to dig my car out again. And, let me tell you - digging out a Chevy Tahoe is WORK! When all was said and done, our little snowstorm netted us around two feet of unexpected snow.

Saturday morning, Kristin and I went to the florist so she could pick her wedding day flower arrangements. Pink, pink, pink!
Pretty, right?! :-)
About an hour after I dropped her off at home, she called to say that Penny (her Jeep) was making a horrible noise. So I got in the car, met her at Target and called AAA. In the hour and a half wait, we did a little shopping at Target (You want me to shop?!?! TWIST MY ARM!!!!) and then I dropped her off at home again.
All in a day's work!
I hate the snow...
ReplyDeleteOn a different note... I was elected VP of the dog rescue I volunteer with - wondering if you have idea to share with me about fundraising and getting more active volunteers!
TARGET!!! and PINK!!!!! Few things are better. :-)
ReplyDeleteOf course the Texan thinks the snow looks absolutely gorgeous! However if I was there I'm sure you'd catch me bitching soon enough ;) And heroes deserve shopping trips to Target!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds kinda fun to me!
ReplyDeleteOk there is no way I would have gone to work in that snow! Girl, you are a hero :) We are stealing your hero secrets.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero!!
