I'm certain everyone knows by now that Tennessee has been hit with some snow, then ice. I walk outside on the snow, not in the snow, but on top of the snow. It's 4-5 inches thick in some places and with a layer of ice on top, I just walk right over the top of it, no footprints left behind.
Anyway, I was out letting Titan run around, sliding into cars and snowbanks, and I notice someone trying to back out of a parking space. I questioned whether I should assist as a good neighbor would, or let them stay stuck so they wouldn't be out driving in this mess. Well, I decided to help. After a few minutes of digging out the snow from behind the tires and pushing the car to get it going, the car gets unstuck. The driver, from Michigan, is extremely thankful, and comments that neighbors just aren't that "friendly" anymore. I was glad I could help change that perception! Later that afternoon, she stops by my apartment and gives me a gift certificate to Starbucks! Score two!
So, I've been sitting in front of a fire all weekend, at home staying warm. Thankfully I was able to get the food I need (hot chocolate included), and rent a couple movies, and make a great weekend of it.
I am sorry to have missed playing with the nephews, but driving an hour when it was not required, I figured it was best to stay home, especially after hearing about 2 ambulances and 1 mailtruck flipping.
So, how was your weekend?
