My nutrients!

I love my new retaining wall. It is so pretty and wood-ie. I am not planting anything in there this year because I want the dirt to settle for a winter.

Well I usually park in the back because that is what a garage is for. I never park in the front. However, I had to park in the front because there was some work being done in the alley. That is when I realized what was going on in the front. The weeds were up to my knees! That forced me to spend the weekend pulling weeds because they were stealing my dirt nutrients. They are my nutrients!

Stanley Hanley

Most people don't know this about me, but I am actually related to Stanly Hanley. For those who do not know, Stanly is the creator of the Stanly Tools.

According to my family tree, Stanley Hanley was born in the small town of Hanley Falls, MN. At a young age he became interested in carpentry, but was unimpressed with the quality of the tools available. When he was 25 he started the Stanley tool line. Ten years later it became the number one line of tools. Unfortunately, Stanley was killed by Joe Craftsman and Steve DeWalt.

Upon moving into my house, my father passed down the first Stanley Hanley Hammer. True story.

Porn star

I have always wanted to live in a house that could be the set of a 70's porn movie. That dream has come kind of come true with what I call 'the crack wall'. The said crack wall leads out to the back yard. I call it the crack wall because it looks like what people in the 70's would snort crack off of and then have sex on video. *I am not really sure if people can snort crack, but the coke wall doesn't have the same ring...

Responses:
Holly: Holy crap, when will that come down?
Mike: Man, you have to take this wall down, but keep parts of it!
Mom: Just paint over it.
My aunt: It really opens up the room, you should keep it.
Dad: That's a classy wall!

In the closet

Living alone, I figured I had enough closets in the house so I tore the one in my bedroom out. Inside the walls I realized someone had been writing:



Me-thinks they were very happy teens. Oh, and a while later I found Wet-n-Wild browneyeliner. I am guessing they used it for their lips and eyebows. I totally did that back in my ghetto days.

White-trash off

It's on! I thought I would be the most white trash person in the neighborhood, but the people across the street have out done me. I call them 'landing strip' or LS for short.



Oh, yes, they have a couch on the front porch, a pitbull and they spend their nights working on a crappy car.

It's not mine...I'm holding it for a friend...

When I first moved in I bought the cats some cat nip hoping that would calm their crazy asses down. I put the nip down and Mandy pounces on it right away. Mewska, however, just sat with a disappointing look. She was all like "not cool man. The stereotype that all cats like cat nip is perpetuated but the dog industry to make us cats look like druggies. I ain't into the stuff."

Then I few days later I find the kitchen full of cat nip and saw this little hypacat rolling around all cracked up.

Upload problems

I am using the MPLS Wi-Fi and it kind of sucks. It only works when it wants to and it takes forever to upload pictures! Boo-hiss. Anywho, I can't finish posts without pictures. I will put the pictures up on Monday at work.
