I DID IT!!!!

So I know I haven't posted in a couple days, but I was kind of busy and really tired. But I will start off with my BEST news!!!! I MOWED MY LAWN!!! Now for a girl like me to mow the lawn, being my first time, is HUGE! I'm from the north originally so I can work a snow blower, so really how much different can it be? The hardest part for me was getting it started. I had a couple battles on that one. Then the grass was still too wet from the rain the night before. So I said forget it and I'd do it today since all this happened yesterday. And I did it today! I started the mower on the first pull and went at it! It took me maybe 45 minutes to an hour for the front yard. I have not mastered the back yard or done the weed-whacking. The front yard weed-whacking will be my challenge tomorrow!




Other fun and interesting things I've done this week:

- picked up my bridesmaids dress for my friends' wedding
- bought some school supplies for the upcoming school year
- bought boxes for some care packages for my boys and filled them
- went to the best local art museum and thoroughly enjoyed it
- went to the Navy night at the Tide's baseball and got to see fireworks after
- found out an old friend is moving back to town this month

While I feel very accomplished and back into living a life instead of this ho-hum bla-zay feeling because I hadn't gone out to do anything really; I know I have a lot of things on my perpetual "To Do" list. Like:

- document and deliver my huge mountain of stuff to Salvation Army
- organize and do some filing of important paperwork
- bring some clothes to the tailor (which now includes the bridesmaids dress)
- figure out a way to get all my files off of my dead laptop
- laundry
- dishes
- cleaning
- weed-whacking
- find an anniversary gift for my hubs since that's next month
- finish hubs' blankets
- send out boxes

But still! Because of my triumph today I went to TGI Fridays and had a wonderful late lunch/ early dinner meal and watch a replay of the Pats/ Saints game! (Oh I am so glad football is back on! I've missed it so!) My friend Lisa came by he restaurant with her new beau. It was nice to finally meet him after hearing so much about him. He's a good guy for her. A true southern gentleman and I hope they hit it off and continue to grow close. They're just plain cute together! lol

Alright, world. Well I am off to bed because it's late and I gotta get up in the morning! G'night!
