Kissak, I too need to mow the lawn. I think my IL's have a lawn service, but so far I've raked the dead leaves in the front and now need to mow. The backyard is attrocious (?). I like doing it though. I've always been the one to mow, etc and love the smell of the cut grass. I'll have to barter on my lease renewal though for a cut in pay if I'm going to be paying $4/gallon for gas in order to cut the grass! \:\)

D's off school on Friday so I took the day off work. I plan on taking her to the city to the big Lego store there, maybe up to the Sears Tower and a suprise visit to my mom at work. Should be fun!
