Backyard Makeovers!

So while I was down in Florida Larry unfortunately had to work. So what was a girl to do? Read a book? Drink fruity drinks out of a coconut? Lay in the sun? Naww I completely redid the entire back yard. Well it needed it!! Plus I have a hard time relaxing it's a gift or curse I haven't completely decided.

Here's before:



After lugging about 25-30 loads of pine needles out of the back I arranged them hap-hazardly in the front.



Here's a picture of the back with all of the pine needles in the front and the timbers ripped up:



I found a turtle while ripping the timbers up!



And here's the finished product! We planted knockout roses and azalea's in the L Larry dug when he moved in.



We planted Indian Hawthorn and Sky Pencil's in the back and laid out cypress.




All in all I'm pretty proud I was able to accomplish so much in a week. I seriously don't think I've ever sweat so much in my entire life. It wasn't even that warm!!

I'm devestated to leave, and have warned Larry that should I ever see so much as a weed in my beautiful backyard I'll have his head on a platter!

Sillyness!

Ava has some sweet shoes!

My apologies for the shakyness! Enjoy I probably won't post until I come back from Florida!

Larry is way smooth...

Original email to Larry:

INSTALLING A HUSBAND

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
·Romance 9.5 and
·Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as
·NBA 5.0,
·NFL 3.0 and
·Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

·Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate.

DEAR DESPERATE,

First, keep in mind,
·Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
·Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
·If that application works as designed, Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1..
·Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your sys tem resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
·Cooking 3.0 and
·Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!
Tech Support

Larry's Response:

It sounds like Desperate just didn’t find the right version of Husband 1.0. The packaging of the software can be quite deceiving since there are many different builds of the software and some packaging is flashier than others. I think when system performance starts to degrade, installing Love Language 1.0 will normally put the system back to where it needs to be.

Personally speaking, I installed Wife 1.0 and had very poor results. It was a system resource hog and was a very high maintenance program. The best thing I did was to uninstall and find the perfect version of Wife 2.0. The system seems to run so much smoother with Wife 2.0 and I find that it’s constantly in pursuit of self-maintenance. This one’s a keeper for sure. Plus, Wife 2.0 came with a free version of Daughter 1.0 which is really fun to play with and is a great source of constant amusement. What a deal!!!

He's so smooth!

LOST...or something

So Larry had to work very late last night and I decided to type up some notes from the first little bit of LOST so he would know what he missed. Seeing as how I never even watched the show until last week I'm pretty sure he would have been better off not reading the email at all...

Lost:

Maggie? Had a baby boy. They showed a flash back of it. There is a boat that's sailing it has the english guy on it the one where that other skinny nerd implanted the memory.
"We'll be in and out, he'll never know we're here Maggie, don't underestimate him." I think maybe they are sailing towards the island?

Then the group of people are walking in the brush, the red head has a headache. the skinny nerd just asked if she had dizzyness and double vision, and she said yes both. Then she said do you know what's happening to me, he said no nothings happening I won't let it happen. OH DUDE some guy tripped a wire and explosives went off. I don't know who's dead but now they're surrounded by arrows. and some chick in a tank top is holding a gun to them. It's miles the skinny scientist and the red head. The girl seems to know the skinny scientist dude.

Back on the boat with the english man. she insulted the english dude. They are going to go find the skinny dude's mom I think. Daniel is the skinny scientist dude.
"If your going to promise me something des please promise me you'll never go back to that island. Why would I ever want to go there?"

now I'm telling you.

A little exerpt from last night...

Larry: "We want to make sure that the unit doesn't get too hot that it overheats"
Sarah: "Wait...so are you talking about units that produce hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer?"
Larry: ::confused:: "Um yes, when I say 'Air Conditioner' I'm talking about a unit that conditions the air."
Sarah: "You now realize that this entire time* I thought you were talking specifically about AC/Air Conditioners that blow only cold air."
Larry: "..."

To sum up...I'm kind of an idiot...

*Entire Time = Since we started dating...so for over a year and a half...
