yard work

i'm finding it fun to do yard work. ok, not as much "fun" as it is rewarding. i'm finally a homeowner, and when the lawn needs to be mowed, i can do it. and it looks good. now if i could just get the damn mower started, it'd be great. weed wackers can be fun, too. it's a proud moment when the yard is mowed, the weeds are wacked, and i can sit back and enjoy my work. plus, it's enough of a workout that i can skip the club for a day!

i'm in the process of sending out thank-yous for the wedding gifts. it's a harder process than it might seem. especially since we got a lot of "donations to the pocketbook". how many ways can you possibly say "thanks for the money!"? at least people aren't going to be seeing each other's thank-yous, for the most part!

fixed some of the "wrongs" from yesterday. found chicken on sale (BOGO!), and had a coupon for my roast beef lunch meat. it was a good day!

ps: bulks=932
apparently they stay for a month before being deleted. this is only about 2 weeks worth....i think after my experiment, i'll just go to having them deleted automatically. i'm tired of bulk emails!
