Screw you, yardwork!!

I'm never helping Adam in the yard again.  So all day Saturday, I decide that I actually WANT to help Adam in the yard.  I'm pushing the mower (in a bikini because I'm super smrt) while Adam is cutting down dead tree limbs in the backyard.  I get the entire half acre backyard cut.  Later on that night, I realized that I'm covered head to toe in bug bites.  When I get bitten by bugs, I swell up and look like a lumpy diseased freak.  So I cover my entire body with hydrocortisone cream and be done with it.  Sunday, we decide to do MORE yardwork.  It was ridiculously hot outside so what do I do?  Cool off with some refreshing beer and NOT drink water or gatorade.  So I end up going to sleep by 8 that night and woke up around 4 in the morning super dehydrated and feeling like vomit.  I told Adam he's on his own from now on!!

Re: Screw you, yardwork!!

  • Oh, no! I wondered where you were. Recovering, apparently. That sucks.

    Just tell him that yardwork is man-stuff and stay inside and make him a big pitcher of lemonade or something as your contribution. :)

  • Yeah, I was down for the count all day yesterday.  I DID get to catch up on some reading though!  I'm now on book 8 of the Sookie Stackhouse books.  I'm sad that it's the last book I have in the series, though.  I'll have to hit up Books A Million tomorrow!!

  • I'm buying book 10 later tonight (just printed my coupon!). I'm taking it with me this weekend to this stupid wedding I don't want to attend. It's my reward. The mass-market paperbacks of the Sookie books are so small that I should be able to slip it into my fancy purse. :)
  • Coupon for where?

  • Borders. I'm in their rewards program, and I love it. It's a free membership, and once a week or so, they email me a coupon for 33% off any one item.

    This time there was also a 50% off one book by Philippa Gregory, so I might feed my Tudor obsession while I'm at it. One of the categories on the NBC's Summer Book Challenge is to read about someone who was executed. That should be easy.

  • We don't even HAVE a Borders here.  Hville sucks.  Have you ever read anything by Christopher Moore?  I'm trying to stock up on some books to read after I finish the Sookie books and I'm debating on whether I should continue on with the whole vampire theme or start on something new.

  • No, never read any Christopher Moore. I may have to give him a try... I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I run out of Sookie. There's plenty of other great stuff to read in the universe, of course, but the Sookie books fill my need for feel-good, funny, exciting, mindless entertainment so well. I may have to read Charlaine Harris's Sookie short stories, even though I don't like short stories very much.

    Borders Rewards also work at Waldenbooks, I believe, in case you happen to have one of those.

  • Don't have one of those either.  We've got Books a Million and Barnes and Noble here.  I may try out the Harper Connelly series by C. Harris, too.  I'm kinda stuck on the whole vampire thing right now though.  Adam laughs at me, but anytime I'm reading, he'll say "So what's Sookie doing now??"  He loves watching True Blood, so I think that's the only reason he lets me get away with completely ignoring him with my nose stuck in a book!!  haha.

  • I have read Lamb by Christopher Moore. Awesome book!  And I also read A Dirty Job years ago, that was good too! I might have to get some Christopher Moore books... I need something to read :)
