Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! I'm laughing all the way from my post yesterday to current. Berto, you made my day!!! (Thanks for the plug, Kitti!)
I don't have anything to tell, really. I've been extremely productive today, though. After a soul wrenching conversation with a regularly visiting Franciscan priest after mass (who is BEYOND wonderful and the coolest priest on the planet), I was feeling restless. I decided to show myself what I'm really made of... and I figured that an opportunity would present itself during the day somehow.
The girls and I got home from mass and a trip to Baskin Robbins when I decided to mow the lawn. (UGH! I hate yard work! I will let you all in on a little secret--I miss my a$$hole H most during the summer!) You know I'm kidding on the strong language stuff, but I really hate being Mrs. Scott Lawnmower-Toting-Broad.
I finished the front yard and looked across at my neighbors yard across the street... I had seen them leave together with stern expressions on their faces, and figured they needed a break. So I went over and mowed their horrendously overgrown yard!
Their D18 caught me sweeping up the grass trimmings, but I made her swear she wouldn't tell her parents who did it. SHE was shocked, though.
After finishing the backyard, I figured I was deserving of a mini nervous breakdown, so I let my tears fall for a few minutes and then got busy wiping down lawn furniture and picking up thorny weeds. Did I mention how much I hate doing yard work? Again?
I've returned to my normal self, thanks to watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory for the thousandth time in my life. One day I want to become that girl who becomes a blueberry and need to be juiced...
I'll try and catch up on some more posts tomorrow after I get to work. I've got a massive work load waiting for me, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done.
Uh oh, I hear laundry calling my name...
