Working It

Summer. We’ve been waiting for it for a while now, especially since the past winter has been so brutal. Unfortunately for my husband, though, when his snow shoveling duties ended, his lawn mowing duties began. :)

We bought this mower from Lowe’s a few weeks back mainly because it was cheap and it also went on sale that week. As first time mowers, the sales people there were very helpful in helping us choose a good first mower. However, although this particular model was okay enough for small jobs (which we thought our lawn was), my hubby quickly realized the advantage of having a more powerful motor, an easier to adjust grass-cutting height, a mulching option, a bag, as well as one that was cordless. Anyway, next time we come across some Lowe’s coupons, we are definitely getting a much better one.

PS. My husband will now be spared of any more mowing or shoveling since we’ve now moved into a condo community where they take care of all that stuff. :) Yey!

The article written by Alonso Kramer.

I need someone to explain the strange relationship between men and bacon. My husband had the day off so I asked him what did want for breakfast. His usual answer is cereal, but today he wanted bacon, eggs and some toast. He reminded me of the dog on the Beggin Strips commercial. That commercial seems to come on my Expert Satellite Georgia channels every time we are in the kitchen. I shudder to think what is really in those treats, but the dog sure loves them and my husband is the same way whenever he eats a full breakfast. I try to encourage him to eat more fruit and grains for breakfast, but he wants his plate full of greasy artery clogging food. I do not want him to make me a single mom before my time. I must give him some credit. He does have a job that requires him to be outside and he does physically work in all types of weather. When he comes home he is exhausted and usually showers, eats and falls asleep. I just wish he did not look so much like that dog when I mention bacon.
