Missed last week’s Five Questions because Eric was in Georgia teaching and I knew he had a long day. The first question was carried over from last week…
Q: I heard that people want to see your redneck snow shovel that you made during our last storm. I cannot believe we did not bring one of our shovels when we moved from New Hampshire! Anyways, here’s the photos I took of your little impromptu ‘shovel’… btw how did you get so clever?
Eric: Look…invention is the mother of all necessity. Besides all we brought down here from the north was a spade shovel. That doesn’t really work well in the snow. And when I saw that the snow was accumulating I needed to come up with something. That is when my inner MacGyver came out. An old shop dustpan, a washer, a sheet rock screw and a long handle from an extended paintbrush roller. It worked just fine.
(Okay Redneck MacGyver. I do love how Jaxson kept jumping straight up in the air every time you pushed a row of snow. He couldn’t figure out what the stuff was!)
Q: What is up with your dog and the new toys he seems to be coming home with? Last week it was a stuffed bone-shaped toy and today it’s a small basket-ball toy.
Eric: Sshussh! The neighbors will all know where their dogs’ toys are ending up!
Q: Aren’t you concerned that he’s a toy thief? A criminal!
Eric: Please – it’s just a misdemeanor or should I say misdeweiner.
(Uhm, that does not work since he’s not even close to being a weiner dog.)
Q: So I heard you have been getting some flack about the last 5 Questions where I posted your favorite show was “Married at First Sight.” Would you like to retract that and pick a different show? I know you have one…
Eric: No, because I fought watching that show at first but saw how much you enjoyed it and I thought it would be a bonding moment for the both of us. However, I did turn you on to one of my new fav reality crime shows “Killing Fields.”
(Miss Tracey, that is for you! Does he earn your respect again? LOL!)
Q: What aggravated you this week?
Eric: I heard there is another storm coming Sunday night and I have already dismantled my shovel for the season.
(I told you we were going to get more snow! You are the worst at listening or predicting the weather.)
Yes, by watching Killing Fields he is totally redeemed. However, as you know, he and I may be watching for different reasons (i.e.: major eye candy for me!)
Well I don’t know. He does have a man-crush on Jack White after all…
Very clever, Eric. Don’t know why you dismantled your shovel for the season.
