My new addiction...

I had to post about this, because my brothers and father are going to be floored. You see growing up there were definite divisions of labor in our household. And it worked... The girls did the inside work and the boys did the outside work. I'm sure there were times my brothers wished they could have been a girl (but of course they'd never admit this). Anyhow, so I'm pretty lame when it comes to working outside yard equipment... I can weed, I can sweep, I can spread mulch...there's a few things I can do.

But on Tuesday I took matters into my own hands. I was brave and I got the gas leaf blower going. Poor Audrey peed her pants because I scared her - that accident was my fault! Anyhow...and I'm hooked. It makes cleaning up leaves (and pollen) so much faster. And oh the power... I told Andy he's missed out. I probably look pretty hot manning this thing! :) I even took it for another spin today. I'm really hoping the leaves stop falling and the pollen clears up. It has to at some point, right? But for now I am somewhat enjoying the excuse to use the leaf blower. Go me!!!
