The Snowy Day

Here is a picture of our parking lot on Sunday.

As a perk to apartment complex living, we only have to deal with snow when we need to drive somewhere. Then, we just have to go clean off our cars. As you can see below, sometimes this takes a while.

Jon was busy helping his family out with computer troubleshooting and was therefore distracted from keeping his pregnant wife from going outside to stand in snowbanks, so I sneaked out.

Ostensibly this was to wipe off the cars, but for real I was just going to play in the snow.

Funnily enough, Jon noticed his car was missing from its original spot about halfway through, and thought it had been towed. (When it snows, we get stickers on our cars threatening to tow them if we don’t move them soon, so the plow guys can clear up the space.)

Anyway, I successfully achieved my goals of the day. Before you get impressed, read them below, and realize that the bar’s not set too high here.

1. Throw lots of snow around.
2. Clear off the cars so Jon can get groceries for the Beast.
3. Don’t run anyone (important) over in the parking lot while trying to move the cars.

Now I’ve just got to:

• do about 5 loads of laundry
• weed out my clothes (going to pack the ones that don’t fit away until June)
• clean the bathroom sink (it has this weird mold thing that I am looking forward to killing with Comet)
• bake chocolate chip banana bread

…and I will have had a frighteningly domestically productive Sunday. As a reward, I will allow myself to eat 1/2 of the banana bread loaf in one sitting. (1 slice for me, 5 for the baby.)

Update: I was able to get most of these things accomplished, but unfortunately, failed at posting in time. I will go console myself for this failure with more banana bread.
