Procrastination at its finest...

 

Today's Challenge:  Add some curb appeal!

Nevermind that I have a house to clean, laundry to do and a mess of other things to do... this takes precedence right now.  (Well... obviously not at this second because I had to come in and give the bugs a break from attacking me before they all overindulged and become extinct from gluttony!)

I will post a picture of my attempt at curb appeal after I am finished. 

Meanwhile - have you ever been so involved in a task that your thought process takes such a bizarre direction and you are standing there in a daze wondering what happened??  It happens.  I like to think we are all normal despite this quirk.  Somewhere around using the handsaw to saw through a root so I could plant more hibiscus that I am so addicted to and noticing the sprinkler was pointed entirely the wrong way I noticed that it is almost swimsuit season and I have not lost the twenty-some pounds that found me over the Winter...
So here I am with a saw in one hand and shovel in the other, damn near crying because I am fat!  Really?  Do I have time for some hormonal imbalance to find me at this specific time?

I am going to suck it up, have another cup of java and then head back out to the front yard and hope the bugs leave me alone while I attempt to sweat off a pound or two wrestling the rest of the roots in the one spot I NEED to plant this gorgeous hibiscus!

If all goes well I will have an after picture to post! =)



***Took down pictures because the landlord at that house turned out to be a total wench!  I took most of my plants with me when we left.... dumb bitch. 

Blogging 101?

Blogging 101 – find a blog/write in it/share with others. 

I have been conflicted about the whole blog issue because at what point have we (as an internet universe as a whole) become such a conceited and opinionated society that we feel everyone NEEDS to know our thoughts, actions and beliefs 24/7. 

Currently I am ‘offline’ on hubby’s computer and since I cannot Tweet or use Facebook, I feel the need to actually start my official blog.  Why?  Well… because I am one of those conceited and opinionated persons who feel you all want to know the inner workings of me and my life!  This has been a long time coming and at some point I will probably contribute all my nonsensical ramblings into the novel I intend to not only write one day but publish and retire from.  Just one to start… make sure I can get enough interest before I intend to make a whole career out of it.

Meanwhile… I am also going to start my own little booth at our local farmer’s market selling exotic plants to people who do not need them but I intend to convince everyone to buy just for the sake of encouraging my significant other to continue supporting my obsession with pretty flowers… which of course he has to finance because I have no outside source of income.  Such a good sport he is =).

Meeting in about 7 hours regarding another project I am involved in and am trying to reduce my responsibility with.  I suppose if I were to not show up that would help my case!  Sadly I am the type who cannot say no and I will be there smiling and nodding (assuming my caffeine intake has exceeded the minimum half pot of java needed for me to actually utter a coherent sentence) and probably getting talked into being even more involved…

Night All – or Morning – whichever may apply.
