mmmmmmm....snoring...

Decided not to bother with ~either~ yard sale. thePool didn't advertise or even put up signs until yesterday afternoon, so they won't get much traffic. Couldn't find the contact for theschool. So we'll put the big stuff on craigslist and take the smaller stuff to Goodwill.

I got to get movin' on that, but I'm havin' muh coffee.

Prom was ~interesting~. We went to the wine tasting and then dinner (mmmm...Carrabbas...) and then to theprom. Found out when we got there that Mrs. was ~supposed~ to be asked to chaperone. But the girl that was supposed to ask teachers to chaperon ~and~ invite all the teachers...didn't.

And I guess it was more interesting 'cause these were homeschool kids who have had ballroom dancing. I've never seen anyone waltz to "Thriller" before...

Prom theme was "Arabian Nights." One parental unit showed up in full costume. Wife rightly stated that if we had done that to Jr. he'd be in therapy for years.

~sip~

Morning, sip, back from thewalk, kinda misty, hoping for a bit more rain. We've got a Carrabas not too far from us, will have to try it someday.

Someone cut down the flag at the Park Dept. We picked it up, folded it up and put in the bench, a bit surprised that no one had stopped to do it, well, it's done now.

Heh, those ferns transplant real good. :-) hmmm. rain gardens, or wetlands, depending on your point of view.

I'm going to try to find some garage sales in an hour or so. This one looks really good...

Lawnmowers - plural. Hopefully I can find it without getting hopelessly lost.

Oh, this was a homeschool prom? Huh. Personally I can't see the point of most of those but I guess if it's for a group of kids who've been going to your wife's co-op that's a little different.

Heh, the thread where Talon and I first ran into each other was about a homeschool prom I think... I dragged him back here...
