As I was coming home today, the snow was coming down and the wind was blasting the car. I pulled up in front of my house, and noticed a blue envelope peeking out of the snow. That was a card I had put in the mailbox this morning, and now it was in the snow on the street. I put the car in park, pushed the door open against the fierce wind, and climbed out onto the slick street. I picked up the card, and opened up the mailbox to get my mail. And lost my mail. Two enveloped escaped my grasp and I had to scramble for them, before they blew off to the next county. Once I had everything in my arms, I went back to the car, and slipped and fell in the snowbank. <\/p>\n
Seriously, folks, I’m like a one woman ice follies here. Hoping my neighbors weren’t watching the whole hilarious catastrophe, I got up, brushed myself off and climbed, wounded back into the car. With my mail.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I should have waited, because now the sun is out, and even though it’s still bitter cold out there, the snow has stopped.<\/p>\n
