Fat and Lazy- One, JoDee- Zero

What a beautiful day! The sun was shining and I was starting to feel much less fat and grumpy as I left school (the ol' pants were a little hard to button this morning and it was such a bummer). Maybe I will do all the laundry tonight! Or, maybe I will go for a jog and then do some crunches. Or, plant some flowers in my newly landscaped front yard. Then I will make a really healthy dinner. And in the meantime I will drink four cups of water! I'll do it all! Hell, it's beautiful outside and I have lots of time!

Enter the neighborhood. OK. Maybe it's a little too much to do in one evening. I'll just work out. And make dinner. The yard is fine- flowers can definitely wait.

Turn down our street. Maybe I'll wake up early tomorrow morning and work out instead. Yes, I'll just make a healthy dinner tonight. And do some laundry so tomorrow I can wear some pants that don't make me miserable all day long.

Pull up the driveway. Definitely make dinner. Laundry will just be a bonus if I have time. No need to stress out about it.

Open the door. Walk to the fridge. Now here I sit at the computer with huge bowl of guacamole and tortilla chips. Gotta love my will power.


Our front yard was a huge project this weekend... here's a picture.

We didn't make any real changes to the look or the layout, but we had some serious damage control to take care of. One day I was looking at the landscaping and thought it needed some trimming. Then I saw it. A vine. Well... that vine was about 3 miles long and attached to everything. I was tearing out vines all Friday night. I am covered in scratches. Sean had to tear out the front row of hedges on both sides of the house because they were all vine. I think I may have been able to save two larger bushes that were covered, but time will tell. We then proceeded to plant new shrubs and fertilize and mulch everything. Including ourselves. I had mulch in my shoes, hair, and bra. Yes. How I got mulch down my shirt is beyond me.

We worked Friday night, Saturday evening until dark, and then Sean worked again Sunday morning. I woke up and cleaned our house and went to the grocery store. Don't worry, I didn't send him out there on his own while I slept in! We had our families over for dinner for Mother's Day so I had to prepare. We were SO busy this weekend- between the yard work, the retriever club picnic (more on that later I'm sure), and a Mother's Day party at Sean's aunt's house, and then having everyone over that night... I am just exhausted.

I know the busy weekend, much of it spend outdoors, is to blame for my kick-ass farmer's tan and overall tired moodiness, but I guess I'll use it as my excuse to not do anything but fart around on the computer for the second straight night as well. Who am I kidding? I'll use this as an excuse to not work out for at least four days, maybe seven.
