MOOved Along . . .

SOME day soon we will have nice weather and hubby can mow lawn...

And, see, I was just thinking how DW needs to get out and mow ours.

[UtahMama]

Pshhh! That's why I had so many boys. They FIGHT over who gets to mow!!!!

I've only actually mowed a lawn once. I did a sucky job on purpose

RobIn- I should give your wife Wife Lessons! (LOL!!! Don't let me anywhere near her!)

1. Honestly? My boys all want to mow it until they have done it ten times or so and then they start trying to get out of it.
2. Only if I can prepare the syllabus and you stick to it.

I got DW a lawn mower for our first wedding anniversary -- seemed only fair since she was the one who uses it.

DH, being the spoiled landscaping manager that he is (and former hourly mowing guy), got a riding mower for our little suburban lawn. But I am not complaining, at least he rides it.....

I never have, but our son did. I do believe DD went at the thought though. Too dang hot most of the time, even driving around.

Evening, MOOvers!!! The snark is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top 10 Ways to KNOW if the MOVIE you are going to watch is a CHICK FLICK.

10. Rental sleeve smells like perfume.
9. Windy says she liked it.
8. Some dude with long hair is on the cover.
7. BBN says she has never seen it.
6. The mere mention of the title makes JP start crying.
5. Matt McConahey is in it.
4. The channel you are watching is LIFETIME TV.
3. BDG refuses to watch it.
2. While watching it your wife needs more kleenex than Hillary uses during one of her speeches.
1. Robin can quote verbatim from it.

That's McConaughey, SpellunKing!

One of my fave chick flicks is The American President, especially some of the President's daughter's lines:

Lucy: Just be yourself.
President Andrew Shepherd: Be myself.
Lucy: Yeah, and compliment her shoes. Girls like that.


Lucy: If you were a dork you should say you're sorry. Girls like that.

pumba - I still laugh when I think about you wagging your green ribbon at me. hehehe. I was totally oblivious.
with my socks pulled off and hanging on the bench to dry.
hee.
great first impression, eh?
but Kali DRENCHED me that day.

It was kinda fun doing AK by myself that morning.
I'll probably do the same thing one day before Cheryl gets there in May.
I'll get there at rope drop and ride everest, kali, dinosaur and primeval whirl one right after the other (and all that walking will be good for me!) then hit another park.
I'll save the shows for when Cheryl's with me. I know she wants to see nemo again (I do too).

I have a job interview next week, y'all.
and they didn't flinch at my salary requirement.

Cel, I still remember hollering hello to you near Everest that day, but you didn't hear me!

I still have never been on Kali (and won't without wearing a poncho!!! Nor have I ridden Primeval Whirl yet

WHY does that not surprise me?!! Do you get to work from home? And I'm sure Twinkie (and the rest of us) would like to know whether you went to Math Camp

Check out these pics! I have better ones from work, but I can't get them to post.

GREAT PICS, Marita! I love seeing the Thunderbirds

You SHOULD duck, buddy!!! I hope you got your DW something to go along with the lawnmower. I subscribe to Wendy's method and haven't mowed a lawn since I was in college

My son & I spent the weekend-before-last killing weeds and sowing grass seed. We concentrated on our front yard (about a quarter acre). The drought last summer killed almost all of our grass. We were sore. This is the first year he's big enough for truly helping with the yardwork. The new grass is coming up very nicely. We have a half acre with 8 trees to work around - when the actual mowing season starts I'll push and he'll weed-whack.

Most of our yard slopes too steeply for a riding mower. We have maybe a 20 foot x 30 foot section that could be remotely considered 'flat'. Our lot is the second highest in the neighborhood. Our immediate downhill neighbor is enough lower than us that when I'm mowing I'm looking about mid-point of their roof - I'd guess we're about 15-18 feet higher. Our uphill neighbor is maybe 10 feet higher than us. We're relatively flood-proof (I'd hate to see the magnitude of flood that would affect us anyway).

The only time my wife has mowed our yard was when I was recovering from kidney stones last summer.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Hi GoofyDad, welcome back!

 

[GoofyDad869]

Thanks, Backstage_Gal. Unfortunately this is probably going to be a drive-by type of night. Maybe I'll be getting back to more regular DIS posting hours soon...

Geez I must be the only one that likes to mow the lawn.

And shovel snow. Mind you this was a really crappy winter and I was tired of seeing the stuff.

My power has been off and on for the last two days so I have been saying off instead of turning the computer off and on. The kitchen guy was here all day but it doesn't look much different, I know he has been running eletricial lines and stuff.

There is two much on TV tonight too. I am going back and forth from Biggest Loser to Hell's Kitchen.

 

[celerystalker]

hell"s kitchen was good.

chef ramsay is hot!
heh.
i like me a bad boy.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Hi, Nabbie!

Sorry the kitchen progress is so slow. My friend Debbie had her kitchen counter replaced this week and is pretty happy with it. Now she just has to figure out her paint colors She flies down to her mom's in Florida tomorrow, then is turning right around and driving home -- her mom is giving her her car. BUT her mom is riding back with her and they are visiting family on the way back to Michigan.

She's not really looking forward to the trip . . . plus she figures her mom will get on her nerves when she sees the house all torn up

I like the way the yard looks when it's done - but the actual 'doing' part - neh...

What is this "snow" you speak of?!? We had one "storm" with a grand total of an inch this year - barely made the grass white. We did have an ice problem one morning - that was a "fun" commute.

Mountain roads + People who don't know how to drive on ice + Not enough equipment / road salt to take care of the ice = FUN

 

[NAB]

Don't you know that we always have snow in Canada and live in igloos ...

We used to live on a revene lot so we had a major hill in the back.

I do see grass now but it has to dry out before I can rake it up to look all nice again.

Okay, fine, that was funny. You win, but only because it was accurate, too. I cry at movies, so sue me. Should be right up your alley.

HEY! I want my own sentence. Why does everybody rope me in with the crazy confused chick?

I think it suggests that you're a crazy, confused chick too. Just embrace it, you'll be much happier.

The same to you, loserfreak, the same to you. And, while you're at it, check the pilot light. Carry on.

You didn't see because you were bawlin' your eyes out?

I think I really like you.

Did anyone else just fall asleep for a moment there? What kind of computer genius are you, you couldn't even get my paper back for me.

Hiya!

Hey, my bff once again! Goog to see ya.

When I was working on my resume the other week I kept thinking of when Elle Woods wrote her resume and then had to explain to everyone that she printed it on pink, scented paper to impress the Harvard people. I totally should have done that!

And I have never mowed the lawn nor do I ever plan to.

Cel: Drive around the Brentwood/Nashville area tomorrow thinking happy thoughts. I have phone interviews with schools in both of those areas in the afternoon. Got it?

GoofyDad, our gress is greening up nicely!

We drove through the Tennessee mountains in January a few years back on our way home from WDW and saw two or three semis off the road

My hubby did a great job driving that morning.

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Good luck with that!

Thanks Goofy...dad. You might as well fling some pixie dust too. Even though you're not in Nashville, it can't hurt if it's spread throughout the state.

Right on, mah sistah! If the good Lord wanted women to mow the lawn, he would have made John Deere's logo PINK. So there.

1. YOU cry a lot? Hmm...that's news to me.

2. Who WOULDN'T love a Twinkie?


Hey, everyone! I'm late to the party today, I guess. Hope everyone had a great Tuesday. I blinked, and it was 10:30pm! Where does the time go????

 

[Minnie_Moo]

L, I was just wondering where you were!!!

Go play WT's game on the other thread . . .

Better late than never, I always say. Well, I don't actually, but surely someone does.

L and Moo...are you guys allowed to play something that's not Scrabble? JK!!
