Email Body:
I made some headway for the weekend:.
- Left work at 4:45 to allow plenty of time to mow. check
- Pit stop at Walgreens to get hair color. check
- Started mowing at 5pm. check
- Sneezed uncontrollably in the East forest while mowing. Check
- Cross mowed the side yard to make better area for possible corn hole gaming. Check [purchased new corn hole game from LL Bean last year]
- Checked in at Mark’s for progress on new deck – still moving very slow. Check
- Picked up all 4 garbage cans from end of drive. Check
- Picked up stacks of sticks on West side of driveway. Check.
- Most likely got poison what-ever from picking up sticks. Check
- Attempted to start fire in back yard. Check on attempted.
- Started the first fire of 2016 in my new fire pit. Check.
- Got the last Vanilla Porter beer to enjoy fire pit fire with last years sticks. Check.
- Learned something about fire pit fires. Might not be the best idea to overload the pit with sticks – flames tend to shoot up above the 2nd story; however, the flames were indeed beautiful. Check.
- Enjoyed the fire burning down while reading my Mitch Rapp novel. Check.
- Drank the beer too fast on an empty stomach. Check.
- Only had Reliv shakes today prior to mowing, etc. Had some Riesen candies on drive home (more than I care to admit). Check.
- Decided Blue Apron was not the way to go while in inebriated state. I hurt myself enough when in full control of my faculties. Check.
- Chose tuna with relish and cheese on crackers. Check.
- Kept myself from calling Kaitlin and asking “Where the hell are my crackers!” when I could NOT locate the crackers in the pantry. Finally found them. Check.
- Attempting to sober up because I have to color my hair. Check.
- Hoping I have done enough tonight because I’m fading. Check.
- Watching NCIS from Season 1 to relive all the great DiNozzo moments since he left the show. Check.
- Ziva just said “Does a bear sit in the woods?” Its funny to hear her trying to learn American slang. Good for a laugh. Check.
- I still have to color my hair and then shower my whole body. Check.
- I’m getting my hair cut off at 9:45am tomorrow. Check.
- I failed to water the plants because I had the beer instead. However, rain is in the forecast.
Love to all….
Silly Mom
Special Notes: This is the email that started the whole she-bang. My favorite email to date. The silliest, the happiest, the most amazing. Also to be noted, it was right before we traveled out to visit her. She’s a champion of doing things. Way to go MIL. Last note, I did not change the font, nor did the blogging software. The email came just like that.
