The response should have been "I have a manhole!"

Matthew was out shovelling the end of the driveway and a service truck from the city pulled up. A guy came out of the van and approached him saying "Hey, do you know there's a manhole under there?" and pointed at a huge bank of snow over 6 feet high. Matthew looked where the guy was pointing and responded with "Somewhere".

When we came home from work the entire area was gouged out from what looks like some perfectly crafted machine for the sole purpose of uncovering random manholes. The manhole itself hadn't been uncovered so I'm assuming they are coming back to do the work next Monday.

When pondering the large gap in our yard I had an evil thought... what if we located the manhole and made a huge snowman on top of it?

Wow, first update! (again, only years later!)

So, I decided that it was about time to start a blog. I have a lot of thoughts running through my head and figured this would be a good way to get some random things out.

I decided to use Blogger because I have read some great things on this site and figure that it's simple design would be suitable to me. When I was signing up I noticed something weird. My username was taken!!! Generally that's not an issue on sites so I decided to check out this other "Crysanna". Lo and behold, I have found an account I created over 8 years ago!

Now I'm sitting here laughing at that last blog post. I think I was a little intoxicated writing it (although I could blame it on age). Yes, I still love exclamation marks. I think it's ironic that I've stated I am a procrastinator but that I will update it daily. My [first and] last post was 3000 days ago. Unfortunately, the procrastination thing is something I haven't been able to conquer but I'm going to try.
