Plowing with an antique

Last night we received about eight inches of heavy, wind-blown snow.  This morning, I plowed out my driveway as well as my neighbors.  J helped me out and we had it done in an hour or so.  It is so nice to plow instead of snow-blowing.  I also enjoy running my 37 year-old jeep even though it can be a pain such as when the windshield wipers stopped working this morning.  I really wish I had the hard top for it as well.  I  don't mind the cold, but it can be tough to see when the wind is blowing snow in my eyes.

I became irritable during  the snow removal process and I need to really work on controlling my emotions when I am working with J.  He is really a great help, but I can't seem to help getting annoyed at every little thing he does.  Saturday, at my in-laws Christmas party, I had more then one person remark how much J had changed for the better.  I am very proud of him.  I certainly wish more for him in terms of his career and some of his decision making...  But I feel really good about the man he has become.

There are some kids I have a hard time with and I don't know why. Kinda bites.

Wish we were getting a little of your weather. It's been 50s and 60s here. We had Christmas dinner outside this year. Weird.
