Nothing Much

….that if your pants are riding so low that the waistband is BELOW your butt and you have to grab a handfull of denim in order to walk safely you might want to consider what you’d do in an emergency…..

Although in many ways I’m quite enjoying my ’07 Dodge Caliber, I really really really miss my ’91  Honda Civic right now.  I have so far, just this winter alone, gotten the Caliber hung up on snow banks 6 seperate times.  In the 11 years I drove the Civic I NEVER got it hung up on a snow bank (maybe because it was so low to the ground it couldn’t, but thats besides the point). 

The Caliber is currently sitting at an angle to the driveway waiting for my husband to get home and give me a push after I backed into the snowbank again. (I was trying to turn around to back in the garage and once again found the snowbank at the edge of the drive.  It doesn’t help that the Caliber is just tall enough that I can’t SEE the snowbanks out the back window.)

I love living outside of the city.  I love not being even in a major town.  The peace and quiet is awesome, and if I decide I want noise instead I can turn up the stereo as loud as I can stand and not worry about the neighbors knocking on my door.  And I got to watch a possum trot down my driveway this morning.  No idea what he was doing up and about that time of day, but he wasn’t acting sick in anyway, most likely a snowmobiler disturbed him and my driveway was a convenient path out of the 2ft of snow the yard would have required him to cross.  Only way I’d have seen him by the apartment in the city was after someone hit him.  Instead I got to watch him trot down the drive and into the woods behind.  How cool is that?

Ok, since I’ve started get at least a few page views from differing sources I’d like some feed back on the site colors.  Are they easy to read or do they strain your eyes?  I can’t make up my mind personally, I picked the current colors on a whim to start with, so if they ARE causing problems for anyone please let me know so I can consider other options.

The view out my front and back windows a couple hrs ago:

For reference, the pump in the front yard is only about 20 feet from the window, and the pine only about 5 beyond that….

Edited to add: I didn’t realize till I was looking at these pictures just how much of a “bump” each of the posts or fixtures must be sitting on.  I can tell you from walking around in the yard to refill bird feeders and the like that majority of the yard is knee deep on me!

Ok, I know I live in Central NY state, and the nearest major city wins the Golden Snowball on a regular basis.  But enough is enough.  We’re well past the “average” for the season at this point.  Can it please just stop snowing???!!!

….The polititians are having a stroke trying to decide which side they hate more: sex toys for guns!

Revenge is best served cold

The first post on my blog…..um…..yah, not got lots to say.

For anyone who manages to wander across this,  don’t expect lots of posting, or lots of long winded rants.  This’ll probly be the place where I gripe about my day, tell you about the silly things the cats did, or babble about the new puppy.  Doubt I’ll end up using it for much more.
