This has not been a great day...

Why? Oh, you'll love this...

Somebody stole my snowshovel. And it's snowing a lot right now. I borrowed a neighbor's to get the walk and the steps, fuming with every step. Somebody stole my SNOWSHOVEL...what the hell kind of world do I live in when even your humble, bought-at-Target twenty-dollar shovel isn't safe? I dragged that damn thing home last year on the bus at rush hour! That thing was a trophy, a symbol of the dogged, stubborn brain that can survive in a Minnesotan winter. And some utter nugget-neck TOOK it!!!

This month has really been awful. The toilet breaking was bad. Snowmagheddon was pretty awful. My hot water heater becoming Old Faithful really sucked. But this is IT. Time for lots and lots of hoodoo. In the house. For the Solstice. People who steal snowshovels have a very special fate awaiting them all--shovelling snow for all eternity, while big fat pretty flakes float down the entire time...

That's uncalled for.

it's like taking someone's jacket or boots--this is survival gear! You cannot make it as a Minnesotan without your trusty snowshovel!!

Arrrgh, I hate the person what took it! I hate them so very, very much!

Drastic times call for drastic measures. I have a plan:

Get a long, sturdy chain, and attach your Haus to the one next door for safety's sake. There's no way the a-holes will be able to make off with TWO houses at once!

(I hear they are out of shovels at my local Target. Call ahead before you make a special trip to yours. I'm really sorry. On the other hand, surely after all this, karma means that 2011's going to be AWESOME!)

Someone stole my shovel off my porch last year. Totally WTF?

Two things. One: you never had a "hot water heater". If the water was already hot, you wouldn't need a heater. Two: follow the example of Lisa in the episode "Duffless" and hook your next shovel up to a mild electrical current.

That's pretty bad when you have to bring your shovel indoors to keep it from walking away.

People are f@cked up and selfish, but here are some silver lining (although I suspect it's just a lining of greasy tin foil) scenarios: 1)Maybe it was a homeless person took it so he/she could shovel an older person's sidewalk for wine money. Twisted scenario, but not without some redeeming features; 2) Maybe gnomes/faeries took it as an offering to the Solstice lunar eclipse and it will transmogrify into something cute that doesn't bite... Seriously, {{{Mausi}}}

Sorry this happened!

I'm hoping your snow shovel will find it's way home.
