Hey Candice :) 

united/jules Sorry for dh he isn't a big mowing fan. I LOVE mowing more and more, which is a good thing a lap around the lawn is about 4 hours. I've been using it as a supplement to my walking. A hour of mowing and 2.5 mile walking.

Happy to meet the rest of this growing list also!

nods

LOL! I've about killed the lawn from mowing already. It's been dry enough that if it weren't for the septic and the hawksweed I'd have no hope for a good mow.

I may have to make more "yard" :)

united--

yeah school is out for the summer, but someone forgot to tell my three jobs!!

well im down to 2 now that my teaching assistant job ended.... but i am on law journal and have a crap load to do for that.

when will it end???? oh i know, when i start saying NO.

nods

welcome

 

 that has to be the greatest lawyer story i have ever heard!!!

i LOVE it!!

made me laugh giggle and reaffirm my pride in my profession for being smart enough to get $$ for the first part and smart enough to file arson charges for the second....

my fave an always will be

"What do you call a bus full of laywers going over a cliff?"
"A good start"
