So the other day I attempted to write this really long post and when I went to post it, it somehow got eaten by cyberspace! Well, you can't just rewrite it, so I wrote another one, about something different..that too got eaten! I couldn't do it again, so I left it alone and now I'm back, hoping that it doesn't eat this one too!

So we've been busting our ass on the house lately. The bedroom is a nice shade of green, the attic is a nice shade of PURPLE, and now I'm digging out in the dirt. I have this constant reminder that Ken and Mary are just there to badger my life with hatred.

Ken and Mary are the couple we bought the house from and I've felt like I've spent the last six months cleaning up after Ken and Mary..whenever something is broke, its a "Ken and Mary". The garden is just full of "Ken and Mary"s, like the plastic "weed" sheathing under everything (ahem, did they NOTICE the weeds after the plastic thing didnt WORK!?!?) and the plastic rimming around everything. It looks cheap and now I am digging through rocks to put them on the side of my house so that I don't have to look at them in my garden just looking cheap!! It has been one thing after another, and probably only silly little things. I can't imagine what other people find in their places that outdo our little Ken and Marys.

All in good time, it gets done...In the meantime, I'll just spend time cursing off Ken and Mary ;)

On another note, we've been looking at patio furniture lately. Can I just say that patio companies are one big RIP OFF! We don't want anything extravagant really, just something nice!! We went to "Patio World" and gauked at the exhuberant prices of patio furniture. I can't imagine paying those prices..It's looking like a Target special for us..but that isn't so bad, its just cheaper!!!


Happy Leap Year! It feels like a day that doesn't exist! We should get Monday off for this :)
