i am a champeen snowball fighter! I went out to smoke and decided to clear my car a bit- i heard the front door shut and ducked just as a snowball came over my head- I came up tossing but the snow was loose not good for packing and it fell apart before it could hit.....one of my bosses! LOL He said he had just snuck in the owner's office and hit him while he was on the phone w/his wife then he ran and stood by the machines before he could retaliate- Of course then my big boss was pissed b/c he couldn't toss back.
I love my job!

well congrats on your first snow fall. It's been snowing here for a couple days. I still hate the snow. LOL! I guess when you live in a place where the norm is snow in the winter, you don't appreciate it as much as someone who hardly or doesn't get to see it at all. Personally, I can live without that fluffy cold white stuff.
hmmm....a snowball fight sounds like a lot of fun though. I haven't done that in years. I wonder if hubby and kassandra would be into that tonight in our back yard.

I did something tonight that I haven't done since i lived at home when i was a kid. I shoveled our walkway, sidewalk and driveway tonight after I took the garbage out. That's excersice! I broke into a sweat doing it! Maybe I should do that on a regular basis...if it isn't too cold out there. it was nice out there tonight.

you push the snow and eventually make a pile of it to the side. The snow hills where i grew up from clearing the streets were higher then the houses. Makes an awesome tobogan hill!

Where does it go when it all melts?
Never been on a tobogan. Is that a sled?

Toboggans
One of my friends from Maine argued with me that a toboggan was a hat, not a sled.
Truely, it's both.
Yeah, it's snowing here, too. They called off school two hours early because of the possibility of snow. At the time, I was like, "yeah, whatever," but now it's snowing quite a bit.
Oh, someone take me where it's warm and I can sit on my back porch in shorts and a tee shirt and bare feet and have a corona...*daydreams*

I've never heard anyone call a taboggan a hat. that's new to me. we call hats tuques. ya learn something new everyday.
it snowed again today. just a light snow. A couple more months of this and it should be all gone. I can hardly wait!
