Remember the Wish Book catalog that used to come in the mail? I couldn't remember if it was Penney's or Sears until I Googled it. I used wait for it each year in anticipation and then pour over that thing before Christmas -drooling over the toys. I loved looking at the stuff I didn't really even expect to ever get - like the chemistry kit. We did get a Creepy Crawler Thingmaker though!
Joan, Krissy and I just spent a couple hours (okay Joan did, K and I were out there more like an hour total) shoveling. And starting and scraping cars. Krissy left her lights on and Joan and she had to jump it. And I chopped ice under the garage door.
The drift at the front door was some 4 foot high and 5 feet wide. That took a while to dig out. Joan jacked up the snow blower again and went at the driveway. I used the shovel to clear around my Subaru - the doors were frozen shut so I had to pop open the hatchback and climb through to the front and open the doors that way. I froze my fingers - they're still a bit sore.
When I came in, Joan was still out shoveling (she's a farm girl and can't help herself). I also saw her snowblowing down Sunrise Drive. She's got a fever she's hot she can't be stopped! (it's a cheer, silly). So I decided to cook supper - I had a couple tortilla crusted tilapia (Fareway) in the freezer. Despite my food Alzheimer's I figured out that a rice/veggie steamer in the freezer was mine too. So I got it ready to zap in the microwave and popped the tilapia into the fry pan with a bit of olive oil. I made the exec decision to brown the rolls that had been sitting on the counter since Thanksgiving.
So Krissy, Joanie and I had a hot meal after our scoopfest. While eating I perused the toy catalog sitting on the table - and that reminded me of my Wish Book" catolog years. I saw recently that Penney's will no longer do a big catalog. Kinda sad, but that makes sense. Who shops that way any more?
That also reminds me - remember the scandal of the underwear model in the Sears Catalog who supposedly had his Johnson showing? It made my friends and I all a twitter. (before anybody even knew what a Twitter message was). I'll miss catalogs - but will still have sale flyers. Something to look at while I eat.

Dinner was great tonight after freezing our fingers and toes off! We should bust into Joan's food stores more often.
We could feed the neighborhood if we did that.
