Sunday Wind-down
Wow, what a stunning turn of events yesterday. First Tech destroyed UVA, and then Georgia Tech upsets Miami to give us the inside track on a BCS bowl. Like the Circuit City commercials, it was just what we needed. How did we lose to this team? Despite this being my favorite time of the year,…

Hamstrung
I used my gas blower/vac to suck up a bunch of leaves in our yard this past weekend, and I guess I used my hamstrings way more than I usually do because it feels as if someone used them for a punching bag. We’ve bagged up so many leaves already, and yet they fall as…

Catch Up
The astronauts did in fact make it back safely, thank God. I’ve been off for a few days so I’ve let some things slip, including posting on here and calling people back. Things get back to normal starting tomorrow though (and work too, unfortunately). With my few days off, Monica and I did some travelling…

All by myself
On Friday, Monica headed off to spend a week in New York with the family so I’ve been all alone this weekend. (She arrived safely and has been having a great time, she tells me.) Yesterday, I did some much needed yard work, and got to finally use our new lawn mower. Man, I must…

I am not a gardener
My Dad gave me some veggies from his garden yesterday, and we enjoyed some of them in a salad today. He’s a regular farmer with his monster garden, with his rows upon rows of vegetables. He could put Del Monte out of business. Meanwhile we’re chugging along with one radish and one green pepper. I…

Sick, sick, sick in the head
Been a little while since I posted so here’s what’s up. I’ve been sick the past week or so with some sort of cold/sinus infection thing, and now Monica has it as well. It really knocked me on my butt for a few days, and it came out of no where. Now Monica has to…

Yardscaping
Wow, what a beautiful weekend, and we spent a great deal of it outside in our yard. On Saturday, we planted twelve azaleas down one side of our house (with fresh top soil and mulch) with the hopes that they will bloom watermelon red flowers relatively soon. It took a while digging all of those…

Gardening at Night
I tilled up an area in our backyard this past weekend in anticipation of planting some seeds for our very own vegetable garden. We’re planning on planting tomatoes (yes, I know they are a fruit), cucumbers, green peppers, and maybe some squash. I know Monica wants to experiment with carrots too, but I’m not sure…

Typical Weekend
Pretty busy weekend for us as we started out having dinner with family to celebrate my uncle’s birthday on Friday night. We went to Frankie’s, a local rib place. I love me some good BBQ. Then on Saturday, I got up early to meet my Dad at our house to do some yard work. We…
