I Can Get Ya Some Free White-Out Though.

I have been MIA, I know. I apologize. I worked close to 60 hours last week. Most of those hours were spent screaming at tiny girls in leotards. But we don't talk about my work here.

Last weekend the Tomato Whisperer was in town so we put him to work shoveling rocks in our backyard. We know how to treat our guests. That Tomato Whisperer - he's a trooper. He may never speak to us again but we got two good days of shoveling out of him. Have you ever spent two straight days shoveling rocks? If not, come on over to our house - there are more rocks to be shoveled and we don't want to keep all the fun for ourselves!

So you can see the progress that we made. Here's before:

All we needed was a few old washing machines and maybe a junked car and we'd be set.

Now, however...

Neat and tidy! Next we'll build the step around the deck (yes, we built a deck and didn't build the step to go with it at the time. Why? If you have a man's brain, maybe you know the answer to this question.) Then we'll lay the sprinklers and then...then? Then we'll get grass!

In other news, we now have 3 curtains! Someone mentioned in the comments that they had never before been to a blog where there were announcements about the number of curtains. I'm so cutting edge.

My laundry room curtain - it has roosters on it! Another masterpiece by Doug's mom. As you can see, there's 20 minutes left on the washing machine and those red cups...those are pong cups. We played 4 games last night. I won 3. We're having a beer pong tournament on July 19. Mark your calendars. We expect you all to be here.
