On Friday I was asked by Jeff and his boss if I was going to be busy on Saturday. They are building a fence and needed some help. Now, my help was enlisted by asking me if I could run a spray can. Thinking this sounded easy, I said sure.


Well, I was wrong. I got to where they were about 10:30 am. The first thing they had me and the boss' wife doing was cutting pipe. These damn pipes were heavy but manageable. After the pipes were all cut we ate lunch. Then the real shit began!


We were handed a bunch of orange spray paint and a nine foot piece of pvc pipe that had a rope tied to the end of it. We were instructed to walk from corner post to corner post and mark every nine feet. Sounds easy enough, don't it? Well, try doing it for a mile long fence through the woods and rough pasture land. I found out I am really, really out of shape after all day of doing that.


Finally the guys told us we were done for the day. We decided we were going to Hobby Lobby. There was a cross stitch pattern there that I fell in love with but refused to pay $40 for it. I thought it was on sale but it wasn't. Boss's wife talked me into buying it anyway because 1. I got suckered into working hard. 2. It was my anniversary weekend. 3. I just hit a personal goal at work. Isn't it gorgeous?

Jeff and I decided since our anniversary celebration got put on hold last Tuesday we were going to do it on Sunday. I woke up Sunday morning to coffee and presents. (Anyone got any good hints to keep me from killing a geranium?)

Jeff and the boss went grocery shopping before I woke up and Jeff fixed not only lunch but dinner too. We spent the day just laying around watching tv.

Even with the work I had to do on Saturday instead of being lazy, it turned out to be one of the best weekends I've had in awhile.
