We're newlyweds in an 1875 Victorian fixer-upper in St Paul, MN. Let the chaos ensue!

Wimpy girlie arms


Talk about in like a lion...

We have finally gotten our famous Minnesota snowstorms. In March. This week we have gotten two large snowstorms. The first was Monday - a heavy snowstorm with lightening producing about 10" of wet snow in our yard. John was off early that day (after it took him 2 hours to get to work) and did the shoveling clearing the sidewalks and even a good section to park the car in our driveway. Today storm two hit with only 6" of new snow of medium/light weight. Traffic was not nearly as bad as Monday, which I was thankful for since I had to travel to the south suburbs for a meeting about our new electronic documentation system. ANYWAYS... I got home first today and it was my turn to shovel. Needless to say, I didn't do as good a job as John did on Monday... finally gave up and drove the car onto the snow covered driveway. My arms are still shakey despite a few minutes of rest. I need to lift weights.

On other news.... our windows came in yesterday and so the addition might actually get really closed off before April (just as soon as the heating season really ends). We're planning on moving downstairs as soon as we have a functioning bathroom, and then continuing to work while we're down there. Not ideal, but necessary.

March is supposed to go out like a lamb, right?
