I spent the weekend outside in the garden because *sucks in breath, hands on hips* I happened to get a Certified Letter from my HOA saying that the weeds in my garden were unacceptable
( Read more... )
I think I hit "fatty-but-good-for-me" with lunch today: a wrap with oil-packed albacore tuna, half an avocado, and lettuce. All sorts of heart healthy oils! And I put celery salt and fresh black pepper on it and it was PERFECT.
I WISH I COULD HAVE EAVESDROPPED ON YOU AND YOUR FABULOUS GAY TWIN.
THAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD AND DELICIOUS. I had a Kashi microwaved meal. *kicks things* Stupid getting back into shape after a summer of margaritas and brisket tacos...
The whole world fell away as we swapped stories, let me just tell you!
I have decided, by the way, that your new Facebook BFF looks like white Jonathan from 1G5G. Just so you know. He probably doesn't, but this is how I picture him in my head. :D
I like Gerry, because he makes me laugh, but I don't want to be friends with him. Jonathan needs to be my BFF, pronto. You're welcome to join us for a BFF threesome!
I literally gasped and clutched at my neck. WHAT!? HOW DARE- WHAT?!
HOA = home owner's association. (I live in a community that has rules, dues, etc. and it in turn maintains your home's property value. Or in our case, increased it significantly. So I'm happy to keep things nice and tidy. WHICH IS WHY I WAS ALL GASP-SHOCK-WHAT!?)
Seriously, the flowers are just the cutest. (I mean, they're not good flowers at all, but they are THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS BECAUSE MY SON GAVE THEM TO ME. <3 Hee.)
Okay, I find this intriguing. You all own your respective properties, but you willingly pay dues to your neighbours to police you?
Up here, those dues would typically be called "propery taxes" and the entity sending the weed notice would be called "the City". (Sadly, the City does not have nice ladies that send postcards for good behaviour.)
What is the consequence if you put a couple of rusty old cars on your front lawn and let it get overgrown with ragweed? What happens if you don't pay your dues?
We have property taxes and City Code/Enforcement, too. I live in a gated community, so our extra fees go to the golf course, private swimming pools, gardens, etc.
If we put garbage on our yard and didn't haul it away we'd get fined. Beyond that, I don't know because I can't imagine doing that! ;)
One day when I am not AFFRONTED by the letter, I will laugh at it. One day, Anne. :D
Isn't that the sweetest? And it's been a ROUGH week with that teenage boy, let me tell you. I had to bite my lip to keep from bursting into tears the whole drive home. :)
wait, was it even a photograph of your yard? Yes, I'm a bit confused.
Grocery store flowers for mom! I am grinning at the sweetness.
I had grilled corn and pinto bean salsa with baked corn tortilla chips for lunch. It was like nachos without the cheese...yeah, it wasn't like nachos at all.

What is an HOA?
It's very cool that you met your doppelganger, of sorts, and yay! for your wonderful son. What a sweetie!
