This past weekend Joshua and I began what I call Project Nice Yard. The inside of the house is done, for the most part, with just a few touch-ups here and there; therefore this summer is all about the outside of the house. We started out on Saturday by taking down the crappy white fence that surrounded our house.

Throughout the day we had different neighbors come by to help us remove the fence, which I thought was pretty cool since for awhile Joshua and I were under the impression our neighbors didn’t like us very much. Many people driving by put their cars in reverse to check out our progress while others smiled giving us the thumbs up or yelling out, “Great job!” Needless to say people are really impressed with what we’re trying to do with this place. The front will look even better once we get rid of the bark (a temporary fix) and put in a nice green lawn!

We had a few little blips during the day. Earlier in the morning we went over to east bay so Joshua could make some money off recycling some car parts and so I could get some things at IKEA. When we came home our front yard hose somehow got a hole in it so water was spraying all over the front of the house; some of it leaked into the house but luckily no damage. And poor Joshua! While loading the pieces of fence into the truck one bounced off another causing the back window of his truck to shatter. At least he got another window today and my grandpa helped him out a wee bit with that.

Because we missed the last dump run on Saturday, that’s how we started Sunday. It was my first time going to our local dump, and I guess its the latest social scene for peacocks. They were running all over the place! It was hard to imagine why such a pretty bird would want to be hanging around the Marin Indoor Dump. After the dump we went over to my grandparents house where they gave us a beautiful rug for the living room!

Once the living room was put back together we headed to Home Depot and bought a pallet of stones. For two hours Joshua put together the retaining wall in the backyard. I threw my back out again on Friday while prepping the back yard so this weekend I wasn’t allowed to do much. Instead I set up the super cute patio furniture my grandparents gave to me.

Behind the wall we’re planning to put soil in and plant some flowers. Today my duty was to clear the rest of the yard of grass/weeds/trees/etc. in preparation for the fountain we’re going to build; I’m super excited about this as it’s something I’ve been wanting in the backyard for a really long time. I think it will add such a nice touch, especially since we’re shifting the path and planting moss all around. Oooh gonna get me some pretty decorative outdoor lights too!!

Today was a busy day in itself. I started out the morning at 7:30am clearing the yard for the fountain until 9:30am. Got cleaned up and headed on over to Coach with my 25% off coupon to get a new wallet. Next I went to my chiropractor and then stopped at Elephant Pharmacy where I ran into Business Guy + girlfriend looking at prenatal vitamins.

I finally got a membership to a gym, and considering the membership fees were a bit pricey I’m going to try to milk it up for all it’s worth. The best part about this gym is it’s literally right down the street from me so I can walk/ride my bike to it. I’m hoping that alone will help me lose weight.

The most dreaded errand of the afternoon was going over to school where not only did my only textbook cost me $113.40, but all the main parking lots are shut down due to the big remodernization project my school is going through. Now, I really need to get a bike!

Welp, it has been quite a long day so I am off to bed now!
