enough is enough!!!

Dear Snow Storms,

I appreciate the show you have put on this year. You have proven everyone wrong when they said that we just don't get the snow like we used to. You have really out-done yourself this year, but now I think you are showing off a bit, and really, . . .no one likes a show off.

Like this weekend, did we really need another foot of snow, on top of the foot you gave us two days earlier, on top of the foot from the day before? I really don't see that to be neccessary. I also think it's a bit much to have to shovel the walks more than once a day.

See, this is what I mean by saying you are starting to be a bit of a "show off." And don't try to tell me I am exagerating, because you and I both know that I am not. In fact, when Jason went to drive the Audi yesterday there was THREE feet of snow on it!! That's just from one week since we drove it last. And yes, I have proof, I took picctures. Now I know, the last couple winters you didn't do much, so you are trying to prove that you still have it in you, but I feel you have made that point, you don't need to over do it.

Sometimes less is more.

I have two reasons for writing you this letter.

One, we are supposed to be getting another massive storm tomorrow, and I really don't think we will need it. We have enough snow. The skiiers are happy, the kids got to make a few snowmen and go sledding, we will have plenty of water this year, I think you should take a day off. Maybe a few.

In fact, take the rest of the year off. How about that!?

The second reason, is a little more selfish.

I slipped last night.

Yes, I know, shock of all shocks.

I am hurt, I am embarrassed, and I am not ready to forgive you yet.

It was your fault. You made it snow, and then it iced over.

I was out picking up dinner from Wingers, and I opened the door to get into the car and I started to slip. It seemed like my feet were kicking up trying to catch balance for an eternity. Luckily I was holding on for dear life to the car door for safety. I finally regained control of my feet, took a quick survelience of who saw, and threw the food in the car. I then tried to get in the car again, and slipped, again, but this time I wasn't so lucky, I couldn't regain control of my feet, and I couldn't get a good hold on the door, and I fell, on my butt, and somehow slid underneath my car to about my hips.

Ya, laugh your pretty snow head off, but if it happened to you, you wouldn't think it was that funny!!!

Just so you can get a picture of what had happened in your head I included some props. Now, picture that guy to be me, slipping with food in one hand, and my purse in the other. WHOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!

Now there is my car and picture that guy (me) slipping and sliding underneath and then having to crawl out. Getting all wet, all gross and dirty, embarrassed, ashamed, and hurt!!! I can barely move my shoulder today because I was trying to hold on to the door with all

my might. I'm sore, and frankly, you hurt my feelings snow storm.

So this is my plea.

Lay off a little.

At least until my shoulder heels and I can brave the falls again!!!

Geez!!!
