Remember me? The clumsy lady who ran over the newspaper last week and got it stuck in the chute of her snowblower?
Yeah, not my finest moment.
Well, I'm also the lady who, 9 days later, ran over a garden hose with the same snowblower.
For the record, a garden hose is MUCH easier to get out than a newspaper is!
Don't tell my hubby--I'm not ready to get put into a nursing home :)
How are all of your days going??
Haha, Jo, I was wondering if someone would ask...well, irony of ironies.. The garden hose was still out because last weekend when I ran over the newspaper, I used the hose to soak the newspaper so I could remove (most of) it. Then, being a mom, I got sidetracked and didn't get the hose coiled back up and put away before I had to go back into the house to referee a fight...few days passed, forgot about the hose...this morning I had finished all of the snow and then thought, "Hmm, if I just clear this one last piece over here, I'll have a GREAT place to put the garbage can!" Bad move--that's the same place where I thought, "hmmm, I'll just leave the hose right here." :)
Glad you can joke about it. Made me smile - Thanks! Hang in there. :) You don't want to hear about some of the stuff I've done!!
Haha, I think your Snow blowing privileges have been revoked for the time being!
I've run over my dog chain before. NOT good. Don't try that one.
Why was your garden hose still out in the snow?
We are brewing beer tomorrow!! :)
I also want snow, can you send some down south a bit?
This made me laugh... (along with you, not at you), which I needed a laugh lately.
So thanks!
I've hit my own head... while bending over to pick up something off the floor, and hitting the corner of a table with my forehead.
Yah, that hurt.
I am so thankful I don't need to know how a snowblower operates!!
You are absolutely hysterical and you live near me! If I see a woman on the street trying to extract a hose from a snowblower I am going to wave!haha. And it is our secret. Really.And I would love some of Jo's homemade beer. REAAAALLY.
I don't have any suggestions, but you made me smile.
I think you have sold me on the idea of not getting myself a snow blower.
We are moving -- again -- next month and the new house is on a quiet corner with a big side walk all the way around....and I thought for sure I would invest in a snow blower for myself and have fun....but I'm going to stick with the shovel after reading about your experience.
Thanks for the laugh!
It could be worse, once my mom ran over a dog chain with the lawn mower. It not only wrecked the mower but some of the chain shot out of it breaking a sliding glass door in the back of the house!
I still tell your 'hit and run' story to friends. We are kid free this weekend.
Made mojitos at the house last night and fired up the hot tub. Great weekend so far.
Hi,
I'm you in the summer time, lawn mower goes over garden hose, hammock stand, toys, etc.
At least you have the excuse of not seeing stuff covered by snow....
Funny! This is the first winter I'm using a snowblower & I've been running over the dogs toys and rocks & stuff! It's kind of scary, 'cause you can't see what's there & my dog loves to try & catch the snow as it's flying out of the chute!
Thank for the smile!
Take care
J.
OMG, between your original post and your follow up you had me rolling. I'm so sorry you're having a crappy day, but I figure since you're making light of it, I could too. LOL!
I missed my 9am class this morning because I thought it was at 1pm. I told hubby I need to get out of the house and go on a date cause we haven't had one in forever so he "squeezed" me in on Monday. Geez, thanks. I feel special...
Anyway, I'm getting my drink on now, so things are looking up.
