During the cold months you can usually find me bundled up in a blanket sipping hot chocolate with my thermostat set around 73 degrees. I don’t even hate winter, I actually like it for the most part, I just try to avoid things like frostbite and chapped lips. This year, however, I’ve been venturing out into the snow for some winter time fun. I take my son out to play, we throw snowballs, build snowmen and forts, sled and drink hot chocolate. I even went ice fishing with my dad for the first time last week.

The snow plows in town pile up all the snow from the town square in one corner lot and with all the snow we got the last couple days, that pile turned into a mountain. Last night after work, J and I decided to take couple of the huge serving trays out of the kitchen and went sledding. It was crazy fun. I think the bottoms of the trays were all greased up because they really fly in the snow. I got all banged up from hitting the pavement pretty hard a couple times and J took a good blow to the knee, but we still had an awesome time. I think there might be a repeat performance again tonight.

Pretty much I’ve just been enjoying myself this season. That is until this morning. On my way to work I slid off the road and got stuck in the snow. My 4 wheel drive (which I swear by) wasn’t even enough to save my ass from the ditch. Fortunately for me two very nice gentlemen in a sturdy truck stopped and pulled my car out. Before that I called my hubby to come rescue me and when I called to tell him not to worry about it he informed me that on his way to my aid he had gotten stuck in our driveway. HA. I turned home to help him out and when I got to the driveway I proceeded to turn in and got stuck right beside him. Ahh what a morning.

We both got out unscathed eventually, but it was enough. I’m ready for a few beers and looking forward to tearing up a steep parking lot mountain.
