Did the Family Council write "FTFY" at the end of its caption?

You're also closer to 50 than you are to 20. Welcome to the club!

Just stopped snowing... finally. Official measurement: 31 inches. The drifts are up to my ribcage. The mounds of snow from the plows in front of the cars are almost as tall as I am.

The Great Shovel and Clear-Out begins tomorrow morning at 9am.

Excellent. Actually, I think I'd rather be 50 than 20.

I sprained my foot/ankle last night. Pity me.

I'm happily in the 'What the hell happened to all of the snow?" club. We really didn't get anything at all.

Neither did we, and I couldn't be happier. We have, at the most, two inches, and it's been here for at least a week. No further accumulation.

No way. Even if they came, though, they wouldn't have made it to the mailbox. I just cleared that bit of sidewalk, and it had drifted up to chest-deep.

Nobody should be driving. I live on a hill, and one poor Elantra tried to go up and slid all the way back down. It's a miracle nobody was hurt.

Priority one of shoveling was the driveway, we cleared that pretty well. Priority two was the mailbox, which I just finished.

Priority three is my car, as I need to go to work on Monday. I have to park on the street, so the snowplows have embanked me quite thoroughly. That should be fun.

Priority four will be the regular sidewalk. We have a corner lot, so there's a very big stretch of walk on two sides. Not really looking forward to it.

HELL DAMMIT the only boy that was ever in love with me just messaged me on Facebook and he's living twenty minutes away.

CRAP.

Oh, but he just recently changed his status to "in a relationship." So I can't marry him. Whew.

I'm sure tons of people have had crushes on you and you just didn't know.

And what's wrong with him living 20 minutes away? Fear of running into him and the ensuing awkwardness?

No, I'm totally planning on seeing him. (He sent me a message asking to hang out, and I said sure, once the snow clears.) I thought he was an awesome guy.

I just fear change.

I'm seriously considering giving home brewing a try.

I'm surprised you haven't already.

Just make sure you do a good, thorough job with cleaning. It's pretty difficult to completely screw up a beer - 9 times out of 10 regardless of mistakes you make, the end product will be drinkable.

The only BIG thing is sterilization.

Okey dokey dukey!

Man, I've just been completely sapped of energy and willpower the past few weeks. I have to force myself to watch a movie, and when I do, I don't feel like I'm enjoying it like I should. Nothing sounds appealing to me except food. God, I'm such a cliche.
