Yard 1, Jenny none…

Ok so I thought I’d actually try and be a responsible homeowner today and work on my yard.  Hey everyone else is building sheds and mowing lawns and cornholing so I figured I’d get in on the excitement.  😉

There are all these nasty dandelion weeds in the backyard which end up getting stuck in Sierra’s fur and then end up sticking me when I pet her or worse, end up in the bed and I roll over them in the middle of the night.  =P  So after a relaxing and fun day yesterday I figured I’d pull out the shovel, throw on my furry boots and head out to tackle the nightmare that is my backyard.

Although I couldn’t find my gardening gloves I figured I’d still be ok with my tough elephant skin.  Well, let’s just say I vastly underestimated my own strength combined with a lack of gloves and after only 20 minutes ended up shearing off a good portion of my palm.  Lame!!

Do you know how difficult it is to get a picture of your own hand?  I felt like I was playing Twister with myself.

Yep, my skin totally wussed out and decided to separate from my muscly hand.  Boo...  =(

So yeah, I guess I won’t be doing the same amount of yardwork that I had originally planned but I’m not giving up yet.  You may have won this round yard but I’ve got your number.  Just wait…  😉

I guess I can at least pick up the dead weeds I managed to kill.  So lame, seriously.  =P
