I think hubby is spending too much time with the robots.  The man told me last night that he’d like an ice scraper for a stocking stuffer.  Now, I’d love to tell you that such an awful Christmas list idea is atypical.  But that would be lying.  This is the kinda trash he tells me each year or gives me some other crazy idea that results in me spending way too much time at Home Depot at the mercy of a guy in an orange vest. 

To add to the silliness of this request… where does this man think I live?  Has he forgotten who he married and what her method is of clearing ice from a windshield (a method he openly mocked!)?

This is Florida.  Our state motto is "We ain’t got no ice scapers!".  The few times I have needed to de-ice a windshield (like 3 times in my whole life!) I just turned on the water house and squirted down the car. Yeah…once this idea bit me in the behind when the whole car iced over but other than that one mishap my method works just  fine.  It was my momma’s method, its my method and I’m not planning on changing my method!  Dana may mock my method but my method has worked fine (with the exception of the above listed mishap).  So, Dana will not be receiving the requested ice scaper from me.  Seems to me an ice scraper is such an insignificant item that he could probably go to the store right now and buy one for less than 5 bucks!  (Especially when you consider he is currently residing in a northern state…. and not FLORIDA!!!!!!!).  Hey… he could even have them gift wrap it and then he can unwrap it the next time his windshield ices over. 

Ask for Christmas ideas… this is what I get…. ice scraper!  I think I’ll buy a garden hose, wrap it up and tell him I got him an ice scraper…just to see the look on his face.  That’ll teach him!
