Basically, it's just a task. You just do exactly what I did with this entry. Truthfully, you don't have to do anything if you don't want to. Someone tagged me, so I'm just passing it forward. Just ignore it if you're not interested.
See, I'm so freakin' tired that I swallowed that hook line and sinker. If you'd told me that DB was at your house, I'd have believed that too - and fainted dead away!
I have never met someone who loves snow like I do. I could hug you.
Also, I'm sure you get a lot more every winter than I do, so if you could send some my way, that would be great. Preferrably around Christmmas, if possible. I have been back in the Midwest for 6 years and I have yet to see a White Christmas. :)
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo... say it ain't so! ;) I have to say, my mother-in-law being a pack rat totally cured me of that quirk.
Winter is my second favorite season, after fall. There isn't enough snow in this world to make me happy. Dig a tunnel, baby...
And you aren't living in Canada, why? Or if you really want to stay in the States, what about Buffalo? They are totally on the wrong end of that lake! They are always getting buried.
And the redecorating sounds cool! If you ever do it, you have to post pics...
Hee - TOTALLY heart your icon - yeah baby, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, ha!
I hate that I'm a pack rat, but yeah, I keep everything. It supremely sucks. I will occasionally have a 'throwing out' party, but they're few and far between. It's so annoying...
I actually did try to move north when I was younger. I looked into Buffalo, Syracuse and Erie. But without relatives there, I wasn't able to do it. I needed a job to be able to afford to live there, but no one would hire me UNLESS I lived there. So that never worked out the way I wanted it to. I think it's interesting that so many of the LJ people are canucks - I can only imagine how winters must be!
One of these days I will do the decorating - I have black glossy paint and a special brush, and I'm going to paint kanji on some of the walls. Also want bamboo accents, and very clean lines everywhere. *sigh* Someday!

I've been trained to hate clutter. It just gets on my nerves because at my mother-in-laws place, you can't turn around without knocking something over!

Oh my GOD, that snow is beautiful! I know you are always happy to see the ass end of it, but wow! That is gorgeous!
Having worked at a horse farm, I'm a champion shoveler, and can clear a pretty major swath pretty quickly. Snow smells better, I can say that for sure! Every once in a while we get a nice thumpin' blizzard here, and I'm happy as a pig in...well, we'll leave that nice Zach remembrance unsaid.
On a slightly funny note, the last blizzard we had - 5 or 6 years ago - came on the day I was starting my new job. I had to call them and say, 'Sorry, I promise I have a good attendance record, but I won't be in today!' Luckily it really was a whopper - we got 40 inches in one blast. So, I really did have a good excuse.

I love that you love the snow so much! We'll squeal to each other the next time one of us gets a storm - and we'll send pics!

They can be like THIS! http://labsquint.livejournal.com/40180.html This is from last February...
*sigh* Someday!
Yes, someday. You do what you can, when you can, and you'll get there...
