Busy Bee Up My Butt Weekend

Friday was busy because I had to follow incorrect directions to a training in a town far far away. I found it thru sheer luck and stubbornness and my reward was a book sale on my lunch break. I found some real treasures and spent the rest of the training on a “book high”. My dinner plans cancelled on me so I spent Friday night reading.

Saturday was check deposit/go to Wal-Mart to look for travel samples/look-for-the-Ford-Escort-of-concrete/dig up the garden day.

I found the be-all end-all of Ford Escort concrete at Lowe’s for $1.68 for 10 pounds. Should be good for tonight’s last stepping stone class. My theme? Not quite sure. I’m bringing the glass scraps again as well as a box of mica and a box of orange-y shells from a past trip to Florida. So I will just “go with my gut” when I get to class.

At Wal-Mart, I found some tiny body washes and my new favorite lotion in the required travel size. Jergen’s Original Scent Lotion, cherry-almond, so nice and it seems to be doing a better job then St. Ives Collagen Elasticin.

The wood around one of my raised garden beds was rotting and becoming a warren of housing and tunnels for bugs who like to eat and live in unpressurized wood. I decided to replace the wood with paving bricks my parents snagged from their neighbor across the street who replaced her front walkway. They’re a nice rosy color and there are tons of them. I asked and was told I could take whatever I wanted. I made three car trips back and forth because you can only load so many bricks in a Coupe before it becomes rather dangerous and Low Riderish. Not to mention there was a bike race/run race to navigate every to and fro. The cops recognized me by the 2nd trip to. Reny was very helpful with plotting out the brick layout, knocking the bricks and my ass over and enthusiastically licking my face. I also helped my mom make an Obos. Maybe she’ll take a pic and post it.

Then I cleared up some yard debris and called it a day.

Sunday I took pictures and went to lunch with the folks. YUM!
