"Men At Work"

03/19/2002

Alright, alright.... jeesh. I know I haven't done an update in a while, but when people start taking bets on when that will occur then it's time to appease the masses. Fortunately for you though, I will not be appeasing said masses with any cheesy 80's tunes from Australian bands in funny hats.

The Clanlad has been busy with his Tiger Scout den. We did a conservation project in the deep, dark wilds of a county park last Saturday. Since it was such a nice day out, we did some man-work at home also. I bought some mulch, grass seed and those garden border thingys from Home Depot. So while the Clanlad went off to play with his friend across the street (I guess his contribution was staying out of the way...), I built a couple of flower beds around the dandelions in the front yard. They turned out pretty damn nice if I do say so myself. If it ever stops raining, maybe I'll take some pictures this weekend.

So anyway, between my regular walk training and the constant bending over this weekend, I spent most of Sunday hobbling around the house (it was raining outside) because the backs of my thighs were so sore and tight. And to top that all off, I think I have a bonespur growing in my damn heel. *sigh*

Speaking of the Avon Breast Cancer Walk... I now have donations (or at least promises thereof) totalling $1,000. Woo-hoo! And just as an added incentive, (although if the IRS asks, you got nothing from me but a thank you!) I'm working on a little gift (one might even say "token") of gratitude for those of you who assist me with this goal. So come on, all you people who are sitting on the fence, and help me reach that magical figure of $1,900!

::putting on very dusty professional fundraiser hat:: As long as the gift has a market value of less than $5 or $10, the IRS won't care. You're safe, I think... ::removing the dusty hat ... cough, cough...and stuffing it back in the VERY back of the closet:: Now that you're so experienced with gardening, you can help work on MINE the next time you're down!!!! Hehehe.... ~ Celly Mcfae @ 3:10 p.m. EST on 03/19/2002
