no longer a girl... not yet a woman

ahhh britney your words sum up my morning. i did it. i no loner live in the amazon rainforest. i broke down and mowed the lawn this morning. it may sound trivial, but for a spoiled suburban brat who grew up in a townhome complex and has never mowed a lawn, this was a special day. the good/bad thing is that it appears that as soon we were under contract, the previous owners gave up lawn care of any sort. i must have picked up about a hundred little branches when cleaning up prior to mowing. the other thing to note is that she had a green thumb and could grow stuff, but obviously he knew nothing about growing a lawn. it is really thin and lots of big brown spots. that made mowing easier, and a lot dirtier. hopefully over the next couple of hears i can get the grass growing again. if anyone has good ideas, i'm all for them. so, to sum up my morning i can only use the words of a woman slightly older than britney - as madonna so eloquently put it: like a virgin..

Ahh the joys of home ownership. For the most part I enjoy the lawn mowing gig... good work out, great for the upper body, plus you can actually see yourself getting your work done... short grass vs. long grass. Glad to see D^2 has a new puppy buddy. I am loving the blog, keep me posted on the latest.

yeah, i kind of liked the whole lawn mowing hting. i spent the money to get a slightly better mower, but not the money for the riding mower, and it really wasn't bad. i would like the mowing thing more if i had more green grass to see the whole pre-post difference.
