Petition the Ambition

"...satellite images shows Nemo coming up hard on the East Coast reaching New England by mid day tomorrow afternoon..."

I didn't really know what all the symbols on the Weather Channel meant, but from what I could gather, this blizzard was a biggun, so in fact that they had to name it. Usually the only storms that get names are the tropical ones, or a hurricane. For a while I was making jokes with Lisa about how stupid it is that they're naming a snow storm. And for a moment we gave each other a look; it wasn't an angry look, or even a happy look. It was just of look of understanding. I knew that she knew that we both knew that this was going to ruin our relaxing weekend. So she went and prepared for the worst, in terms of ambition, as did I. After the realization that I actually had to give up my time, strength, and honor for hours of pain and struggle; let's just say it wasn't my bag of chips. I then rushed to the room and spent as much time as I could laying down with Carly. It couldn't have been more than six minutes before I was called to duty. Thank God the snow was soft like a powder.  Even if the snow was so soft, it was the amount that really killed me. every time I would shovel some, and move forward, then look back and realize that every thing I just shoveled had been snowed over by at least another five inches. This storm was less of a winter "wonderland" and more of Alice's "wonderland." It was hectic and overbearing. At a certain point in the afternoon me and Keith realized that there isn't any hope at this point and we will have to just wait until it's over. This made me incredibly happy and there was still time left to relax on Saturday and I had all of tomorrow to relax as well. At least that's what got me through the night. On Sunday morning, as soon as I woke up, after getting out of the bathroom, Lisa was first up to the plate to say, " got a lot of shovelin' t'do today.. yeeaahhh." In that moment I thought of all the ways I could get out of doing the shoveling, most of which involved physical pain and/or injury. None of which I had any ambition to go through with.  To conclude my Sunday morning, afternoon and night I was shoveling. Thus bringing and end to my weekend.
