*Just talk

This past weekend we worked in the yard. We "almost" have our entire backyard completely landscaped...hallelujah!! We finished off a corner Saturday, where we planted a few trees and some bushes. When Michael and I got home from church Sunday, Ziggy had dug a hole about a foot deep - right where we had planted the tree!! Michael was furious, more than me (probably because he had to lift the 150 lb. sucker into the ground). NO more bones in the backyard for the boy. I heard cayenne pepper does the trick and he hasn't touched it since.

We had a fun BBQ with some of my family Sunday. We cooked up some kabobs on the grill and basked in the warmth of the weather. Morgan and Carson wouldn't eat their food, so we made a bet. Each piece of chicken they ate, they could play 5 min. of LEGO Batman on Michael's Xbox. Well, it obviously did the trick. Honestly, where would we be without bribes?

Tonight I watched American Idol and Biggest Loser all by myself. Michael went down to Green River for a pre-bid for work. After the meeting, he drove to Moab to hit up a quick trail. He came back to his car and one of his tires was flat on his truck. Normally you could just put a spare on and be ok. Nope. Not with the truck. Apparently there is a key to one of the lug nuts which was safely put away somewhere in his office back home. So there he is, stuck in Moab for the night. Wish I had've known this would happen... I sure would have ditched all my obligations for the day and gone with him in a heartbeat.

I cannot tell you how excited I am for the Spring & Summer season. I can feel a sense of renewal in the air and I am slowly gaining back all the energy I seemed to have lost all winter. What a difference the weather makes, really.

With the Spring semester coming to an end, I am feeling the load of homework slowly slough off my shoulders. It feels really good to have another semester behind me. I can ALMOST see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Well, I had better go to bed. Much to do tomorrow.
