The worst part of Christmas vacation is going back home. Especially when your driveway is covered in LOTS of snow, which has splendidly turned to ice as it has sat, weighing down on itself for 2 weeks - yea.
Here's what I learned:
If you just leave it hoping it will melt - it won't.
Do not buy the shovels that have pre-bent handles, because when you throw the snow it comes back at you - not cool.
If you have someone take a picture of you after shovelling you may find yourself making a very strange face - not sure why that happens...
When your driveway is a sheet of ice you will find yourself outside for close to an hour with a metal shovel, spearing the atrocity that is your driveway, making little progress and becoming very hot in the process, at which time you will resort to wearing a VERY ridiculous outfit in order to stay cool but keep your socks and pants dry :)
If you're lucky, you'll complete a 5 x 3 ft. area and have your super trendy neighbor come out to chat when your shovel is mid heave and you are in the above described garb.
AND THAT IS WHY YOU NEVER LEAVE YOUR DRIVEWAY UNSHOVELED FOR 2 WEEKS!

Okay, freaking hilarious. We couldn't stop cracking up.
Yeah, it was funny. I was here helping and everytime I looked up at annette, I laughed. Dad, we will never make fun of you again for being a shovel nazi. waiting=disaster
OK, you're gonna have to explain the one armed man cuz I don't get it but the rest was a hoot. All so true. We are really living it in Michigan this year. If you don't shovel daily, you're very sorry. We've done the metal shovel thing with some neighbors who are sorry and it is a lot of work.
The title is just a reference to arrested development (it's a TV show). The dad would always have a guy with one arm teach his kids a lesson and it always involved a fake arm being pulled off...it's funnier when you see it, I swear.
