Why mowing is the new vacuuming...

All of my life I've loved to vacuum. I love the feeling of a room marked with the perfect lines and am always trying to preserve the lines as long as possible...with two kids running around that equals about 45 seconds, but whatever. Such gratification seeing a room in perfect order complete with perfect lines. Now, take that feeling and multipy it by 100 and you have the high that I have just learned about...mowing the lawn. Seriously no one ever told me how great it is to look at a lawn you just mowed complete with lines that don't disappear as soon as someone walks on it!!!! Oh the sheer joy! I'm so not kidding. I LOVE mowing the lawn!!!!

What I don't love...finding a dead scorpion in my garage. That's another story.

Missing the Mark

I usually strive to post something original, whether a thought or picture or story about my life, but truthfully my life has been a little hectic this week. I thought I'd find out if this is REALLY what you think of my face...and I'd like to find out what I think of yours.

What Your Face Says

At first glance, people see you as down to earth and reliable.

Overall, your true self is reserved and logical.

With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react.

In love, you seem mysterious and interesting.

In stressful situation, you seem like you're oblivious to the stress.
