- It's no longer "shovel, throw, shovel, throw" but "shovel, walk, throw, walk back".
- You wish you'd bought a snow blower when you moved in 8 years ago.
- Your property begins to remind you of Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
- You begin to question the sanity of people who live even further north who get even more snow every year (they must have bought a snow blower when they moved in).
- Your dad starts to call every time there's a snow storm to remind you that he does not even own a snow shovel or an ice scraper where he lives. Thanks Dad.
- You hope they'll start the Olympic sport of Snow Flinging because your sure you'd make the US Team.
- You wish were living in a dwelling where you were not the landlord responsible for keeping the drive way and walks clear.
- The only thing keeping you from hiring someone else to do it is pride - all the neighbors around you shovel their own driveways.
- You try thinking of shoveling as water resistance training - part of your New Year's resolution to get into better shape.
- You wished your house had a two car garage used for parking the vehicles in, and you owned a snow blower.
- You've been shoveling long enough to think up all of these reasons it's been snowing too much.

I think we've had all these thoughts! Our neighbors all have snowblowers, but we still use the good old-fashioned shovel! :) And we are definitely reminding ourselves that this is keeping us (and our children, who are shoveling and playing in deep snow) in shape! Off for some hot chocolate--which tastes so much better after shoveling!
Joel! I was shocked when I saw a post from you in Google Reader!
The shoveling gets old pretty quick, I have no doubt about that. Good thing you have some little ones to train to do this job so when you are old and gray you won't have to. : )
This post still cracks me up!!
