Because the neighbors don't think we're weird enough already

Yesterday my husband finally got to use his Father's Day gift: a kick ass self-propelled lawnmower. Aren't I sweet? In case you might find the gift a bit self-serving, please know that I wanted and got a new vaccuum a few years ago as my Mother's Day gift.

It's all about practicality around here.

The grass was getting pretty long, especially with all the rain we've been getting so it was high time Jim got out there and did something about it. I was busy in the house putting away the last of the kitchen stuff. I took a break to peek out front to see how the mower was treating him, and saw this:

Strangest thing about that pic: Do guys really wear v-neck undershirts? (Always been a crew-neck guy meself.)

The upsetting part of that photo is the minivan in the background.

Le shudder.

better to be considered weird at the minute. better to hand pick your neighbor friends.

Im glad he's wearing protective headgear. Did you get him a matching codpiece? You can't be too careful.

I like stuff and things. I've been married for close to 14 years and have two miniature versions of myself running around (and it frightens me most of the time). I have never been nor will I ever be a vegetarian.
