8/7/2012: Star Bowl

Usually the star bowl only comes out for special occasions, like my Flag Day party or for the Super Bowl. Currently it's on the counter because I had to get it out of the high cupboards when digging for a big plastic bowl to put tomatoes in. And just haven't bothered to put it back away. Don't worry, I'll put it on my list of things to do this weekend.

5/5/2012: Hedge Trimmers

So I'm trimming the hedges, dog barking at me (well, at the hedge trimmers) and I'm thinking to myself "OK, better be careful I'm getting close to the ca..." and before I can finish the word with the "-ble" the trimmers cut right through the it. Oops. Could only laugh at myself. And then the panic set in. No TV?!?! NO INTERNET??!?!?! Time for an Amish Saturday night.

3/24/2012: Rake

Is there anything more exciting than getting a brand new rake??? I hope your answer to that question is a resounding "YES!!!", otherwise your life kind of makes me sad. If the pinnacle of your existence is a lunch-hour trip to Wal Mart to purchase a new rake because the one you have has a wobbly head that makes it difficult to work with than you need to find some new interests. 

While a rake isn't particularly exiting, it's a necessity. At least it is if you plan on doing any raking in the yard. For some reason I seem to have been inspired this spring to clean up my yard. My approach to spring time clean-up before was essentially "Mehhh... the leaves will get chopped up when I mow, leaf 'em where they are." (Even when I'm being lazy and avoiding work I can still throw a good pun into my internal monologue)
