ha! I mow my neighbor's lawns at the slightest chance -I pretend it's because I'm nice and I know they are out of town/sick/whatever, but really I like mowing lawns and it's a great workout (and I know they both hate it). Same with shovelling snow. Ok I admit this to them too, but they think I'm just being coy. No snow to shovel this winter.... ;(

...maybe that's why i suddenly have excess pounds? Maybe it's not middle-aged-spread after all? We usually have to shovel at least once a week for thre months and have three or four storms that require several hours work. This year, I've shoveled twice in the entire season, no more than 2 inches.
