A while ago, while the snow was still flying in the sky and falling to the ground faster than running water, my other half and I decided that now would be a great time to own our own
Electric Snow Shovel.
What actually happened, though, was not what I expected.
My husband likes to research anything that we are going to purchase to make sure that we are getting value for our dollars. One of his favorite mottos is "Getting the Biggest Bang for Your Buck!" So with that in mind, I knew that I was going to be shoveling whatever white stuff the clouds were going to dump on me, that day and probably the next.
Fast forward about three days: low and behold, my sweetie's favorite truck comes by with a delivery. I was sure that it was my new and improved
Electric Snow Shovel and my back, arms and legs were all doing the happy dance.
One big problem, the size of the box and the dimensions of that same said box, were no where near what I would have expected for an
Electric Snow Shovel!
Now we have a rule in our house, that if the delivery truck comes, only the person that it is addressed to, is allowed to open whatever is in the box.
Well wouldn't you know it, he was out and I was in! Darn, I couldn't break our long standing house rule, even though my fingers, hands, arms and legs all said......."DO IT!"
A few hours go by and my sweetie finally makes it home. I am waiting like a kid, who has the biggest secret and can't wait to tell the next person who crosses his path.
He enters the home and sees the box in the middle of the living room and I with a great big grin on my face, look at him with great big puppy dog eyes and ask, "What's in the box?"
He grabs the box and takes it into his "man-cave" leaving me with this goofy grin on my face. "I'll be right back" he says ever so coyly.
Well up the stair he comes in short order carrying not my new
Electric Snow Shovel, but rather this lovely looking
T-Fal Deep Fryer!
In my state of excitement and anticipation, we could now add total confusion. Because I love this man, and he loves me, I let him explain.
Honey he says very coquetishly, I got us something that both of us could use and neither one of us has, I got us this lovely
T-Fal Deep Fryer!
T-Fal Deep Fryer
I just looked at him with total uncomprehension and said, "but I thought we were getting an
Electric Snow Shovel?"
He says ever so quickly, "honey, the
Electric Snow Shovel isn't on sale yet, but the
Deep Fryer was!
So I spent the rest of March and April of this year, shoveling by hand, while my sweetie was busy in the kitchen making Home made Fish and Chips. Guess I will wait until the Snow Shovels are no longer needed to get mine.
Snow Joe, Electric Snow Shovel
Right now though, I am thoroughly enjoying summer and the snow can wait until December at which time I am sure that I will be the owner of my very own Snow Joe Electric Snow Shovel.
