Noooooooooooo!

Seriously, I am SO tempted to "accidentally" leave our poor lawnmower outside and see if someone steals it. That thing is on its last legs.

Not at all. As long as at half time I can be on Team Concession stand!

I see what you did there!

Always hated to mow the grass but loved the smell after it was mowed...

The silly thing is that I enjoy cutting grass. There is something satisfying about it. I don't expect a perfectly level yard, but I'm tired of running over tree roots in our front yard. We either need a truckload of topsoil or to cut down the tree.

I thought I was okay with getting rid of the tree, but now I'm leaning toward just trimming it WAY down.

When I was a kid I loved to mow. I was one of those OCD ones that like the straight lines.

So what does one do to sleep at 3:30 in the am?

And I think it's like finding "Mr. Right:" when it happens, it happens, but you can't force it.

Maybe you're asleep NOW and just dreaming about us!!!

Maybe I am! Actually Carlee decided she wanted to go out. So I let her and she did her business and came back in. Then she decided she wanted the rest of her dinner. Now she's back in bed. I gotta getta a handle on this schedule! Bwwwwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Getting ready to head to work, surprised? Hopefully it will be a quick one and I can get some gym time in without getting called back. Lawn really needs to be cut too but it will have to wait till Monday so I can get all hot and sweaty and dirty without worrying about being called in. I'd gladly pay someone if I could find someone reasonable and reliable.

Dog woke me up, at least it was a somewhat decent hour. The air is beautiful out so I turn off the AC and opened some windows. I know by 10 I will have to turn the ac back on. Waiting for DD to get up, we haven't decided what fun thing we will do today. I suggested go karts and mini golf.

Good morning! Happy Saturday! smile

I'm waiting for the A/C guys to get here.

And, watching The Tennis. wink

It's a 3 day weekend. I'm so excited!

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

The end of our fiscal year is this weekend. We have inventory tomorrow night. Every year the July 4th weekend will be ruined. First order of business...move the fiscal year end. 😉 There are legit business reasons to do it. But getting the staffing this week to close out the year is what sucks the most. People are mad every year.

I've worked retail, but never had to do a storewide inventory...Thank Goodness!

It's easy until we get to the bulk department. We have to weigh every ounce of flour and every tea leaf. And then subtract out the weight of the container. It's awesome. Lol. Not. In the winter it's no big deal. Over a holiday weekend it totally blows. We do the whole store quarterly. The perishable departments are monthly -- produce, meat, cheese, deli. They have it down to a science. Right now my Meat-Cheese Manager is out on parental leave. I hope we don't screw it up without him!

Wow! The upset of the year, in tennis.

Sam Querrey just took out Novak Djokovic!

Good for Sam! smile

Afternoon.

For some reason, I'm in a grumpy mood.

Hoping the caffeine helps.

Running Jesse to a friend's house but that's it.

It was just small stores, but I did inventory every day.

I do not envy a large grocery store's inventory.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

OH jeez. One of the fish died and Jojo is distraught. It's going to be an ugly day around here when the dog goes.

Get a little sun, it should help.

I downloaded the Presence app to my old iphone so I can monitor my house from my newer iphone while I'm out.

I just spent $30 on the best investment ever!

A girlfriend knew I was looking for someone to help me with the heavier aspects of house cleaning (can't kneel, very difficult to bend, and stretching hurts). She put me in touch with a lady from her church, who was looking to earn some extra money.

She arrived promptly (actually 5 minutes early) and proceeded to work non-stop for 3 hours. We concentrated solely on the dining room/kitchen, which now looks like a display home! Everything that had been plopped down on the DR table is now in its correct home, and the floor and surfaces are sparkling shiny! I've already arranged for her to come back next week

Good for you! I'm glad you found her.

She sounds like a keeper. smile

Moma, that is great, in less than a month she can have your house shining and then come back to do touch up.

I decided to get going on a project that DD wants. I have an old Lane solid cedar trunk that DD wanted to refinish and put in her room. We've sanded most of it but I had to run to Lowes for more sand paper and we picked out stain and new hardware. The sanding will be done today, TG for electric sanders! but the staining and finishing will take most of the week since I have to let each coat dry and lightly sand before the next coat. She chose a black stain. I'm glad she went that way because matching up to her bed room set stain wouldn't would be a nightmare.

And before anyone mentions it, first thing I did was remove the lock. It has/had one of those locks that you cannot undo from the inside.

That's great Momala.

FNW · Guru

It never ends. They send the receipt for the gift cards. In an envelope addressed only to DH. I emailed them and thanked them, letting them know I would let DH know it arrived.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

At least it shows they sent two cards? Maybe?

FNW · Guru

Yes, they did. You must have missed my update. The other card arrived a day or two after I emailed them. But they never responded to me. And even so, they sent the receipt to DH, not to me (when I was the one who requested it).

The boys went shopping today with their gift cards and don't know any different. I just told them their cards arrived late. They read the signatures and wanted to know who they were (FIL & wife). I told them Daddy's father and his wife, then they remembered who they were.

They were probably put off by your emailing them. Oh well, they made their bed...
