My Husbands Obsession

Kinda sounds like a Lifetime TV movie. My husband enjoys working on cars, fixing things and his new obsession.....our yard. He has always cared about how our lawn looks, but now it has grown to flowers and plants. It started with hosta plants. He was so in to them that I started calling him
"Hosta Man" as a joke. He has now moved to vegetables ( which I am looking forward to eating), a butterfly garden and several different shaped plots of land with various plants in them in my backyard. He is constantly looking up things about mulch and organic gardening. Before he just TiVo car shows, but he has moved on to recording landscaping and gardening shows, like "Yard Crashers" and "Gardening by the Yard". I came home the other day and he had dust all over him and I asked what he was doing and he stated," Just drilling a hole in some rock for the water feature." Mr. J and one of the neighbors (who also has a nice yard) talk often about what to use on the grass, what they are growing and what they are going to do next planting season ( that is a whole 12 months away). I must say that the yard does look nice and I plan on enjoying every bit of it...... sitting in a lounge chair on our deck.

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Wife +Sick Hubby =Medical Degree

I posted  last week about my husband being sick. Even though he is feeling better, he went to his doctor to make sure everything was OK. His doctor in-turn referred him to a specialist, to make sure as well. When I asked him what was the specialist going to do, he said " I do not know. Probably just check me out."  That did not sit well with me, so I decided that I needed to attend the appointment with him. We attended the appointment. He signed in at the front desk and the receptionist asked for the paperwork sent. He of course looked at me......especially since I was the one who fill out the paperwork. I am not sure why I filled out his paperwork, probably because he asked me to, but I never have him fill out my medical paperwork. I digress. We were escorted back to the exam room. The nurse was really nice. As she began to ask for some of the medical information, I found myself answering more of the questions than he was. Maybe I should have been quiet. The doctor eventua...
