The reviews are in....

And apparently yesterday's blog subject was B-O-R-I-N-G! At least according to one friend who shall remain nameless...but she does live in North Vancouver, is a superstar athlete, has two whacked out kerry blue terriers and apparently feels comfortable enough to dis my blog when she feels the subject matter does not appeal to her interests. Haha! Isn't that the great thing about great friends. They let you know when you're out of line without completely offending you.

Perhaps this little story shall make her feel better. Yesterday we had a blizzard. The day before, the hubby was laid up (down?) with a bad back so I took it upon myself to apply the snowblower to the 200 ft driveway only to run into an obstacle, literally.

The following is a transcript from our subsequent email conversation.

3:59 pm
Wife: Subject: You know what I love the most about you? Your ability to laugh off what MIGHT SEEM to be a slight catastrophe.........in the end, as long as we 3 are together that's all that counts...right? Say right before you come home, okay? xoxoxo

4:02 pm
Husband: OK....what happened ?

4:03
Wife: What? Whatever would you be refering to? Who? Me? Ummm..... just keep in mind...I was only trying to help. Love you...love you...love you....

Quickly followed by.....

4:04
Wife: pls note....you didn't say right yet.

4:05
Husband: did you break my truck or the snowblower ?

4:06
Wife: did i mention that i'm making one of your faves for dinner....

4:07
Husband: see you in half an hour. i'm leaving early to p/u ur vehicle. hugs......and you're right

4:09
Wife: aaahhhh good to know. see you when you get home then.

Who knew that a 50 ft extension cord would be lurking under the two feet of snow piled on the side of the walkway? What am I? Psychic? (Disclaimer: No extension cords or snowblowers were harmed in the process of helping one's husband by clearing the drive nor the witty creative writing of this blog posting. Only one weak-arsed wife who was unable to dislodge the cord from the intimidating blades of the wretched machine. I thought because it had pictures of bunnies and turtles on it that it was more wifely user friendly.)

Oh, and by the way you know who you are - I am still going to write about the gardening because there are people out there that wonder what trouble we are getting ourselves into and want a play by play of our days. Love ya!!!
