WIP™ Contest Giveaway!
Right now, right outside my window, Colorado is going bonkers. That is, if it’s possible for a weather pattern to lose its mind in the form of more snow than anyone in their right mind would think appropriate, let alone called for.
But Colorado (or her natives) (or her transplants) are not noted for their restraint either, so turnabout is fair play. Sometimes you just have to go with it and let loose. Like today when I drove home from picking up Beta Male and The Princess of This World and The Next in the big giant SUV (and it is big. and giant.) And on the way home, coming ever so sure-footedly (sure-wheeledly) down the street…all the snow on planet earth decided to slide off the roof.
And onto the windshield. Stopping the wipers from any hope of any chance of any movement.
The kids laughed. And then didn’t laugh because they thought I was blinded. But I wasn’t. There was just enough of visibility for me to go into full Dad’s Got It, Relax mode and realize that, not only were we safe…
…we were the only ones on the street.
And that, of course, meant I had to slam the pedal to the floor and remove the snow off the windshield. By forcing enough centrifugal force to make it slide off. In the form of a doughnut. Or six.
So, in celebration of the snow turning me into a lunatic (behind the wheel of an SUV in eighteen feet of snow with two screaming laughing howler monkeys in the front seat with me back seat flying around in circles so that we could get home and make hot chocolate…)
I’m giving away two brand new Waltzing in Perdition mugs! For hot chocolate! Yay! Or coffee! Yay! Or whatever you like drinking when you realized the snow has handed you a Hall Pass in the form of Go Play!
I’ll randomly award one a piece to the two winners who answer the following question and make me laugh out loud (not just the typed version…the real laughing out loud version):
“What’d you REALLY think the last time you woke up to 48 inches of snow?”
The contest starts now! I’ll announce the winners on Friday! Go!!
DAMN IT!!! Does this mean the kids have a snow day and will home too??????
I want candy and that mug and your arms!
I was happy since my jeep wrangler handles the snow like the Av’s handled Edmonton last night. though my dumb shit neighbor was trying to shovel out his dodge neon, only to get stuck over and over and over again. I think that in the 2 hours he was out there he moved about 3 feet. I sat by the window laughing and enjoying a nice hot beverage.
lol okay this is not going to be easy lol
selah thought…..”holy cow i think i’m gonna wet my pants”
zion thought….”do i still have to wear a coat?”
i thought….”if i lay real still maybe no one will know i’m awake”
Oh, f*#k me, who’s going to shovel all that s#!t? Cause it sure as h-e double hockey sticks isn’t going to be me! Oh, and BTW, I’ll be in bed reading smutty romance and will require a naked slave boy to bring me red wine and bon bons every hour on the hour, give me a “massage” whenever I require, and at precisely 5:00, a very strong martini, shaken not stirred! That’s what I’m sure was going through my head.
Set up: Greg and I had come to Denver for him to meet my Grandparents. Now, at Grandma’s there’s no cussin’, no drinkin’ and certainly no *you know*. So when we woke up (in seperate beds) to 48″ of snow, I thought “Thank YOU God – Greg is going to have something to do today”
Yall are killing me lololol
And they said California never gets snow!
Good thing all the Georgians buy up all the milk and bread at the threat of snow! I guess we will all be eating french toast today!
Damn, they said cloudy mid 70′s today. Apparently anyone can be a weather man!
Man, I am never going to be able to get my mini dauchshund out to go potty
Oh man, I better call Pastor Mark, (new from the bible belt and with his very first ever snowblower and very first big, wet snowfall) and let him know why Ken has one hand with four half-fingers.
