And Now, A Very Special Uncurmudgeony Blog
Spellcheck says that uncurmudgeony isn't a word. I disagree.
And did you ever notice that, like, EVERY "Blossom" was a very special "Blossom"? Like "Blossom Gets Her Period" or "Blossom Says No to Drugs" or "Blossom Has Inappropriate Feelings for Her Totally Hot Brother, Joey."
Anyhoo, yesterday, we got a few inches of snow (YAY!). Not enough to warrant hording food, but enough to get my shoes really messy and wet. Husband had a meeting right after work and wasn't going to be home until 11:00, so I watched the "Simpsons" and wondered if he should snowblow when he got home, or before I left for work in the morning.
(No, it did not occur to me that I should do it. Get real.)
A little later, I left for Thursday Night Supper and THE DRIVEWAY WAS TOTALLY CLEAN!
I was like, "Did Husband stop home to snowblow? Cuz he is SO getting laid if he did!"
Then I figured, "Oh, it was probably Mr. Neighbor, trying out his new snowblower! I probably shouldn't lay him."
When I got back, I ran into Mrs. Neighbor and told her to thank her husband for doing my driveway, and she was like, "It was Neighbor Son! I told him to shovel ours, and he came in and said he did yours, too!"
AjerkamongaHUH?!
Well, thank God I was leaning on our fence a la Wilson, or I would have fallen over. A thirteen-year-old boy WILLINGLY AND WITHOUT PROMPTING manually shoveled a driveway that wasn't his!!! HOW SWEET IS HE?!
Oh, he is SO getting homemade (or ho-made) chocolate chip cookies this weekend! Talk about renewing my faith in humanity! I'm all Stella-Got-Her-Groove-Back now and loving the world!
And now I'm wondering what he'll look like in a few years, mowing my lawn with his shirt off... Cuz lemme tell ya, the kid is beautiful. (Those of you who didn't see that coming, I'm very disappointed in you.)
P.S. I'm wearing my new eBay bra today and lovin' the hogans! They're so perky!
