Yard work

Weeding 101

Step One: Procrastinate and wait for the weeds to get a little out of hand.
Step Two: Begrudgingly allow your mother in law to visit for an hour.
Step Three: Actually hear at least one thing that comes out of her pea brain.
Step Four: Try not to slam the door as you hurl yourself through it.
Step Five: Take out your frustration by doing the weeding.

And there you have it! You can clear a 10 x 4 foot section in the time it takes to smoke a quarter of a cigarette! (About three minutes)

Go Away Mother

Can't you see I'm enjoying some music?

Mural Day

Today Louis and I are going to do some volunteer painting downtown, (if he gets up). Kalama is getting a mural under the overpass. But I noticed that progress seemed to stall after the general background was done. That made the sign asking for volunteers at the local post office, less surprising. And I have to admit the lack of people involved is somewhat exciting to me. Oh the possibilities.

Gone Too Green?

I don't use a mixer. Haven't in my entire adult life. I prefer to beat things by hand because it saves tiny amounts on my energy bill. However when I found out that I was going to have to throw together a birthday celebration in two days time, I decided that once couldn't hurt. Mike's dad was having surgery, so I opted to make as many things as humanly possible. My arm hurt so bad! Mom bought me an electric mixer for Christmas last year, which I had tried once, but couldn't get used to its three speeds: fast, faster, and warp 9. At any rate, I bust this convenience of modern day technology out. Fortunately there was a camera on hand for what happened next. What I meant to do was press that little release thingy to put the beaters back down into the bowl. What I did was push the hyper speed button while they were still in the air. Of course I was wearing a white shirt... and the chairs I splattered along with myself and the wall, white too. Damn. Here's the evidence...enjoy!
