Life w/ out a camera.........STINKS!

I picked up my 4-H plant order (because....I needed more....:p ) yesterday (in fairness, I ordered them a month ago....I had no idea how much I was going to end up with).

I *should* have all the pots / baskets / etc. planted by the end of the day, and y'all will just have to take my word for it....they're gorgeous!

Don't tell him, but I think I like DH's 'non matching' hanging basket better than my 'color coordinated' ones. Amazing how someone else's view can change yours on something as simple as plant colors.

I had to work last night so couldn't plant anything....today is supposed to be 'housework day' but....darn it, I'm the boss, I can change the rules if I want, right?

Houseworks been cancelled on the count of sunshine / 74 degrees!

Have a great weekend folks!

I have been canceling housework ever since the first day of Spring. :hide I wonder how long I can get away with it?? :D I loved your DH mixed color basket. I have been looking at home depot and getting ideas from their baskets. A lot of them stick blue and yellow and pink flowers together and they look amazing! I sure hope your getting a camera for mom's day!!!! Cause I want to see your flowers.

Waiting for the milk to cool......

I am apparently physically incapable of NOT cleaning on Fridays. It's genetic or something. Already got one bathroom done and the trash gathered and half the kitchen wiped down. I've been cleaning house on Fridays for 30-some odd years (it was just how we did it at Mom's) so....I can't NOT do it. I try. I tell myself I won't. But I can't NOT do it.

Back when I had a 'real' job and had to get up at 3am to work 10 and 12 hr days....I would get up at 2:45am every day and clean one room a day, being 'done' on Friday.

I think I'm a little bit OCD. Or nuts.

Or something.

Kim I think we all are OCD about different things. I am like that too. I can let somethings go but others have to be one way only.

Lol, I understand.

Come to my house, we can be OCD together. I still have sheds that are driving me batty.
