what could be so exciting?

Well, I attempted to have the yearly event today - the occasion of joy or mourning, depending on whether you're one of my neighbors, or one of the four zillion bugs that live in my front lawn - the annual First Mowing.

Yes, anyone who's thinking, WHOA, she's just mowing for the first time NOW? How high must the grass be? How thick must the weeds be? How horrible must her lawn look? It's as bad as you think. I've been busy. Sue me.

Yesterday we had dry weather in the evening for the first time in over a week, and I just did not feel up to doing it. My husband wasn't happy with me. I told him I felt perfectly well enough for HIM to do it if he so chose. For some reason he passed.

So today when I got home from work, it was gray and cloudy, but not raining, so I started in. This was also the christening of a brand new lawnmower. I hit a big huge rock and thought I'd killed the thing on its first outing - but no, just stopped the motor. Luckily it started right back up.

Got almost 1/3 of the way done when I started to feel raindrops. I ignored them. Then God sent about ninety million of their friends - all at once. So OKAY, I get it - you don't have to drown me. I stopped. Maybe I'll get to finish tomorrow morning.

Wow, I just looked at the mood of the wwbw down there, and it says EXCITED. WOW. Not happy or tired?? I didn't think it did any other emotions. Wow. Wonder what's so exciting? Not this entry, for sure.

Darn, now it's tired again already. That was quick.

By the way, if anyone wants to participate in a group experiment out there... concentrate really hard and try and send me some brain waves that will make me come up with a legitimate-sounding reason why we should do our REALLY important project at work weekend after next, and not next weekend. It's not that it's all that time critical even, but at this point I can't suggest putting it off without a seriously impressively good reason. Saying we just need more time will make me look bad. Think, people, think.

OH - today's favorite spam subject: "HI soft grizzly bear shadows inside 10."

Kinda comforting.

the mood of the whole world wide bleepin' web -
