Shot Glasses & Garbage Disposals & Snow... Oh Crap.

I've been getting hate mail regarding the fact that I have not updated in a loooong time. You all are going to have to excuse me, 'cause my Yankee ass has done nothing but snow blow and shovel for the last month.

The only reason I am blogging right now is because I am bored out of my mind. We are getting hit with yet another monster storm. Wait, I take that back. We are getting hit with 2 storms.
1 today that will drop 8 inches and one tomorrow that will drop 12-16. As it stands, the snow from today's storm is not going to slow down until around 2-4 pm. No sense in blowing or shoveling before that.

Now, I am a New England girl, born and bred. I can handle snow. I don't even mind giant storms that dump a few feet of the fluffy stuff. What starts to kill me is when it happens every week. We have no where left to put this shit and the dogs are getting lost in the drifts.

Like any normal person with severe cabin fever, I am trying to occupy myself with projects.

Over the weekend, we had a few friends over and were partaking in adult beverages. Sometimes these adult beverages come in super cute shot glasses. Super cute shot glasses are also super small. Small enough to slip into the garbage disposal without my noticing.

Flipping the switch and hearing the blades shatter and grind the glass was epic. While I immediately shut the thing down, all I could do was stare at the sink in utter confusion.

::moment of silence::

::eruption of laughter from friends::

Me: Whoopsies! (don't judge me, I was a tad tipsy)

It was a joke for the rest of the night and I really didn't care all that much about it. The next morning, however, I was PISSED. How could I have been so stupid? A shot glass in the garbage disposal? Really? How cliched. I resigned myself to having to buy a new one and planned on doing so on Friday, when my father got home and could help me install it.

But then yet another snow storm hit. And I got bored. And ran out of things to look at on the Internet. And ran out of trashy tv to watch. Cabin Fever.

So, I googled "Shot Glass In Garbage Disposal", why not? Right?

Well, look at that. I'm not the only asshole who's done this.

Hmmm, Yes, the motor is still running and No, the grindy thingys wont turn. What's this? A Hex Tool? Yes, I think I have one of those... Crank it around until I can do so without resistance? Ok. Give it a try now?

HOLY SHIT!!! I FIXED IT ON MY OWN!!!

HIGH FIVE TO GOOGLE!!!

AND SNOW DAYS!!!

AND SAVING $200 BUCKS!!!

It's so funny how fixing something in your own home without having to call in a professional can make you feel like freeking super woman.

Happy Snow Day!
