We have a snowblower…but I’m always reluctant to use it…because I hate the snowblower exhaust smell that sticks to you. The smell makes me sick to my stomach…so many times, I’ll grab the shovel instead.

This is what goes through my head…

1. This Sucks.

2. Look at me…I’m a hockey player (as a I scoop up some snow and throw it).

3. I’m definitely throwing this snow on my neighbor’s yard (Sorry Mike & Shannon)

4. I’ll shovel Mike & Shannon’s sidewalk…they have a pool…that’ll come in handy in summer. Remember when I shoveled your walkway? Remember?

5. This isn’t 5 inches…it has to be at least 9 inches.

6. There…that’s a path…the mailman can fit through that, right?

7. I look like Olaf.

8. If the snowplow plows us in again…I’m going to…I’m going to…do nothing. Just shovel it out. I should be tougher. I don’t like confrontation.

9. Pearl Jam is always the tops of my list…has Crue fallen a bit? If I’m honest with myself, Def Leppard should be higher on my list…Carrie Underwood & Avril Lavigne…those are in the Top 5 for sure.

10. Yep…Adidas shoes…still not waterproof.

11. “Cuz…I’m froooooozen….yes, I’m a froooooozzen” (Self-made parody of Seether’s “I’m Broken”)

12. If it’s like this in Lambeau on Sunday, the Packers will win even easier. Jordy Nelson is my hero…they better resign Cobb. What are they waiting for? For him to score more touchdowns and only cost us another $5 million a season?

13. Is Dexter old enough to do this yet? He seems strong for his age.

14. It’s not that slippery…totally…oops (down I go).

15. I wonder what’s happening on The Bachelor right now?

16. I’d invent a shovel where the blade part gets really hot, so it can just melt the snow. I’m a genius.

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
