Mrs. Petunia
We spent the majority of the weekend outside since it was really the first stretch of nice weather we have had for any extended period of time. Cardin loves playing outside, minus any bugs or wind. Which basically makes her the distinct replica of mommy. Listen lady, NATURE IS MY NEMESIS. I’d rather sit through grueling lectures all day than go on a nature hike.

I also planted some silver mounds in the front yard as I like how they shimmer. Most likely because it distracts my attention and I can go “ooooooo……shimmery”.

Cardin is hot for playgrounds lately and we have a few around our house that we can drive too, mostly at parks. Of the ones frequented, we have only found a couple that are of decent quality, but they are not close to the house and let’s face it lady, public playgrounds are like festering […]
Screw you
Karma was a bitch yesterday. Brett called me when he got out of work and told me he was no longer going home to cut the grass, instead he was sitting waiting for a tow truck as one of his tires had gone completely flat. AWESOME. Since Brett would have to wait with his car, I was running […]
