Dear Diary:

����If I hadn't been jumping up and down, waving my arms and yelling at the spousal unit, "I told you so, I told you so" I would have gotten an official measurement.

����.:Cough:.

����What I can tell you is that

����a) count your blessings that you don't have to live with me and

����b) the local weather guy said we are 3 1/2 inches or about 9 cm. from setting a new snow record for this part of Quebec. Since there is a nor'easter predicted for next week, we pretty much have a lock on the new snow record.

����It is such a good thing we put that new steep roof on the house last fall, eh.

����So this is how the hovel looked last fall right after the roof went on. (And yes, that's the Marnmobile in the picture. Not quite as cool as the Batmobile because it doesn't shoot flames out of its tailpipe. Not yet, anyhow. I keep driving into road craters like I did yesterday and Mr. Man tailpipe flames are pretty much a gimme, eh.)

House and the Marnmobile.  Not yet, anyhow.

����And this is how the hovel looks today, surrounded by insane amounts of snow:

Yes, this is what insane amounts of snow looks like.  Scary, huh?

����I have decided on how I will celebrate the record breaking snow when it comes.

����You know how at rock concerts there's often a point where folks in the audience raise their arms, flick on a lighter and sway to the music?

����Well, I've decided to go out in the storm, hold my snow shovel in the air and sway.

����Crazy? You bet. But don't worry, I'm not violent.

--Marn
P.S.--About a year ago I was bemoaning the fact I've lived a sequin deficient life. Have I grown as a woman, have I done something to change that? Me? Personal growth? Oh, puh-LEESE.
P.P.S.--If you came in through the banner, then here's why I love the words hootchie momma.

This template is a riff on a design by the truly talented Quinn. Because I'm a html 'tard, I got alot of pity coding to modify it from Ms. Kittay, a woman who can make html roll over, beg, and bring her her slippers. The logo goodness comes from the God of Graphics, the Fuhrer of Fonts, the one, the only El Presidente. I smooch you all. The background image is part of a painting called Higher Calling by Carter Goodrich which graced the cover of the Aug. 3, 1998 issue of The New Yorker Magazine.
