Last night our friend Spencer and his dad, Mike, came over to mow the lawn. He was going to come about a week ago, but right before he was supposed to get there, the fertilizer guys came, did their big spring fertilizing pass, and told us not to mow for at least a couple of days. The grass was already pretty tall when they came the first time, so with the fertilizer and the great weather, the grass was way too tall to mow easily. With the early time change, though, they were able to get a first pass at getting the grass whacked down. The plan is for Spencer to come back on Saturday and re-mow the thing.
Yesterday was the first day the kids got to take their tennis lesson outside. They loved it. I think they are having a pretty good time in tennis because they always come home in an upbeat mood. It was nice enough that all the neighborhood kids got together to play outside for an hour or so before dinner. I hope it is this nice for spring break.
There is no way to make this unobtrusive so I will just say it an put up the chart. Bryan is killing me. He gained a pound on me this week and it is hurting me bad! My rope-a-dope, trash talking strategy is not working.
HEY KEN!! I’m at 9 of 50 lbs! Comeon man… get this right or I may have to start my own trash talking web site. 😉
Am I blind? I am getting older, but I am pretty sure I am looking at a chart that says 9 of 50 lbs.
Yes… that is all true. now. Thanks for the update.
I think you just said that to make me have to look at again and feel bad.
for those of you who may not be familar with the term “rope-a-dope”:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope-a-dope
Rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting style used most famously by Muhammad Ali (who coined the term) in the Rumble in the Jungle against George Foreman. The idea is for the boxer to lie on the ropes of a boxing ring, conserve energy and allow the opponent to strike him repeatedly in hopes of making him tire and open up weaknesses to exploit for an eventual counter-attack.
Psalms 17:10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
Heeeeeey… That’s like using the book of Hezekiah only the verses are real! That’s cheating! You have to use Hezekiah or else. How did you find that verse anyway?
I can’t believe you picked that verse. Check this. Look at what chapter I read down at the bottom of the page. I think there is some divine intervention going on here. Serves me right for eating all those potatoes last night. I could have lived with a verse from Hezekiah.
ROFL!!! That is WHY I picked that verse! I read what you are reading. Too funny!
and your computer clock is still wrong…. but I’m sure it’s 7:30 somewhere!
Time to get to work! TTYL
What in the web does ROFL mean?
p.s. I did 20 notecards today to catch up what days I already lost.
ROFL = “Rolling on the floor laughing”
TTYL = “Talk to you later”
Good job on the note cards.
It means Rolling On the Floor Laughing or some such nonsense. 🙂
How many notecards do I have to have after I am completely done?
As many as you need for your report. How many did you have last year? Last year’s report was 11 or 12 pages not including the title page, table of contents, and bibliography.
I had about 20, but with about ten facts on each card. Now I have about 25, but with only one fact on each card. Does this mean I should have a total of 200 cards?
We are practically worked to death with those awful notecards.
Yes. Or more.
I know you suffer a lot.
