24...

and that ain't the TV show. rather, that's how many inches of snow we got in the "Blizzard of '06". i'm glad i didn't have to fight any of the slick streets and standstill traffic yesterday.

nope. instead, i wrenched my back shoveling snow twice, in hopes of keeping ahead of the storm. at noon, there was already 8" of the white stuff. at 4:30, i was out again, tackling another heavy blanket of snow.

ugh.

today, at noon, i watched the lady across the street shovel about ten feet of her sidewalk before she hung it up and trudged back into the house.

my feelings exactly.

what am i worried about? i don't have any shopping or errands to do. after all, this hefty slice of cherry pie and hot tea sitting next to me are all i need...
