Yesterday's snow storm reminded me of the time we got that snow storm on Christmas eve when we had to trek to the library to get the years presents.. Mom worked at the library at the time and she stashed all the years "loot" (presents) there, only she didn't see that storm being as bad as it was to be.. That was the year my little brother got his first bicycle, the one he would push around for a year or two.. What I got for Christmas that year?? I don't remember.. But the snow storm was memorable for a few reasons.. First having to go down and get the presents, the second was when a "friend" got his parents car stuck several times and I was thankful I wasn't with him at least the first two times.. I remember later that spring as the snow started to melt and I was out driving around and he was out as well and there's a hill in town where kids would sled down, I was driving up the hill with that guy just right behind me and I drove really slow up to the top, it was a sheet of ice, and as I made it to the top I gunned it and sped off knowing he would gun his engine to try to catch up but instead he spun out so bad his car started going backwards.. A little ditchum story for all you kiddies out there.. Thems were the days.. I think I wrote about the days of ice skating.. Those days when it really was fun until someone got hurt.. I jammed my fingers so many times, while skating.. It seemed every Christmas was Donald getting sick or me jamming a finger... Ah the good old days..
Starting with tomorrows "end of the world" entry I will be adding a clip from the third rock from the sun that I said I would do.. Maybe not everyday but as much as I can, as often anyway..
With the snow it FINALLY feels like Christmas. Up until now I really didn't feel like it was Christmas.. Enjoy the snow it might be the last we see for a while..
Went to the mail a little while ago and saw a few piles of snow here and there and it reminded me of the year we built what we called schnapps fort.. Built it across the street from one of my friends house and of course we were drinking some schnapps, peppermint and a few other flavored drinks.. it was one of those rare perfect times where getting in trouble could have happened but because the highway was closed most of the day we were able to do that and get away with it.. Drinking right out in the open, without even trying to hide it..
Skootr and I tangled a bit today.. Her lack of control with her claws and her screwy insanity is just.. She nailed me with her claws and I'm used to that but in this case today I was getting ready to do something else and she nails me royaly and it pissed me right off.. But then we are able to be around each other a little while later and stuff.. Wish someone else could be like that but oh well.. Maybe she will grow out of her pissed off at me.. Or Not...
