Things That Make Me Happy: School supply sales! Crayons for $.22 when they are usually close to $2.00! Markers for $.88 when they are usually over $3.00! Scissors for $.75 when they are usually over $2.00!
Things That Piss Me Off: Buying a cart full of markers only to get them home and realize they are not washable. WHY DO THEY EVEN MAKE MARKERS THAT ARE NOT WASHABLE?
Things That Scare Me: Cindy-Lu shouting at her cousin, “If you don’t come here right now, I’m gonna throw dis ball to your head!”
Things That Make Me Giggle: See: Things That Scare Me.
Things That Seriously Piss Me Off: Our new-ish television stand BREAKING mere hours after spending all of our money on home improvement crap. Also? Watching Blue’s Clues.
Things That Make Me Happy: The television stand breaking while we were moving it, so that we were able to hold it together until we removed the TV and PS3. If those had been broken I would have CRIED. Also, shiny new television stand! Pretty!
Things That Make Me Feel Like White Trash: Our television sitting on an ugly old coffee table while we wait for the new stand to be shipped.
Things That Make Me Wanna Take A Nap: Pulling all these fucking weeds. Maybe gardening is not my strong suit?
Things That Make Me Feel Good: Oh, who am I kidding? I am clearly a PROFESSIONAL GARDENER.

I love the before and after pics of your garden. I just need to do some similar for my house (not that I’ll be doing any decent tidying or cleaning but I could send my mum the after pics and make her happy).

Love the flowers! Pray tell, where did you get them so I can pick up some of my own? Are they easy-care?

Your Mama says:
You are so right when you say things that scare you are things that make you giggle. Remember when you almost turned right into the path of a huge truck when we were on vacation in Missouri? I think I wet myself and you were over there giggling like a maniac.
Your garden looks wonderful. Mine could use some weeding. Coming by this weekend?

You are my kind of gardener! I wonder if your method could be applied to other things…like maybe the mountain of laundry I’ve been ignoring.
Also, I’d like to quote you on my blog. Would you email me about it?

Oh Blues Clues is a BIG hit here. I prefer that over Yo Gabba Gabba any day.
LOVE the garden. Weeds are for husbands to pick. Seriously. Plus, I have a very bad back, so I can’t do all that bending without feeling like I’m 100.
