4 Day Weekend

I was a lazy bum and decided to take last Friday off to extend my 3 day weekend to 4 days. I am still dreaming of haveing a green lawn some day in place of the dirt that is still sitting there from last year when we moved in :( We made a few attempts last year to get the lawn in but did not have any success because we need to bring in a lot of dirt to level out the yard and make it suitable for growing grass. Our soil is mostly clay so not much will grow in it. Time and money did not allow us to get everything done that needed to be last year so we are continuing our efforts this year. Since it was a holiday weekend, Dustin had to work every day....got to love retail.....but I decided to make myself useful regardless. I spent all day Saturday outside moving wheelbarrels of dirt from the high spots in the yard to the low spots. I had the genious idea to wear my bikini top while I worked on this beautiful sunny day so I could get a little color. I had not intended to stay outside all day, so I got some color all right......before I knew it the day was gone and needless to say I am EXTREMELY sun burnt on my back. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since Saturday...lol...its not most ingenious idea.....but I am dreading the itchy/pealing stage the most.

Fallen off the wagon

I've done it again....I'm slackin on the postings. So much has happened since the last time that I posted, I don't even know where to begin :)

Dustin and I celebrated our one year anniversaryat the end of April. We spent a day at the beach, which I had been dying to do for months but the weather never really cooperated. It was a nice sunny day and we enjoyed a little hiking, a picnic and some great conversations. We tried to walk on the beach but the wind was blowing so bad that the sand was coming up in our faces.....so we abaondoned that idea. We started reading a book together, "His Needs, Her Needs". Its a great book and I would highly recommend it to any married couple!!! I know not every husband will join in the reading of such a book, but you can always pray them right into it. I don't know about you but I have found that to be my most effective tool......then there is no fighting and they don't feel nagged at....who can complain about that? :)

Lets see what else?

Have you heard about the Bitten clothing line from Sarah Jessica Parker? I saw it on Oprah the other day. If you haven't heard about it, I'm sure you will. Everything in her line is under $20!! The pieces will be sold exclusively at all Steve & Barry’s shopping mall locations across the country beginning June 7. I wish there was a Steve & Barry's near me! I guess I'll have to do some on-line shopping :)
