Meme: The 5 Things

So, I have apparently "been tagged" by Christina to list "5 Things you May Not Know About Me" - so, here it goes:

5 Things

• I'm a caffiene addict - its gotten to the point where I actually make coffee on weekends. I've just recently started doing this.
• I'm so over working for a living and am really ready to just have kids already so I can give up the 9-5 (or 7-4:30 in my world) life.
• Excited to earn my master's but skeptical if it will even do anything to "get me ahead" in my career (but, please revert to the previous item for futher detail)
• I have a series recording set for "A Haunting" on Discovery Channel - I love watching stuff about ghosts, gouls, spirits. A little jealous I've never encountered one, but, at the same time also very thankful
• I fell in love with at least 10 guys (and I fell hard) between the ages of 18 and 23. Thankfully it was Steve who was the last!

And now, I'm supposed to *tag* 5 other people - well, I'll just tag those that I actually know have a blog: Ange from The Taylor Family, Jenn from Sketches of Thoughts, and Asha of So Cheap and Juicy. Enjoy!

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors

Unless the issue is in the front yard...

One day I'm leaving for work, and I notice a huge back-hoe in my neighbor's front yard. Now, keep in mind, he has the corner lot, so, its in the corner of his front yard for the world to see. I also notice a HUGE hole dug out from his yard. That afternoon, Steve went over to go find out what he was up to, and he told Steve that he was putting in a fountain. My first thought was, "A fountain or a swimming pool??"

Then, a few days later I come home, and all of a sudden a mini jungle has sprouted in his yard. TONS of foliage and TONS of flagstone and other rocks had appeared during the work day. Not to mention a DEER on his porch. Now, I'm all for koi ponds and creative landscaping, but, there is a fine line from creating the secret garden vs. a complete gaudy mess. This is what it looked like:

Well, yesterday he finally finished the project - or, at least he says its finished. Hopefully, this is all there is to it. It even includes a lamppost, and a bridge to nowhere!

I guess I just have to be glad that we live uphill & next door to him instead of directly across the street!
