If you didn't think I was weird before, this post is surely going to change your mind. You'll notice in the above photo that I've started the big spring yard clean-up. The last of the snow melted a few days ago and the yard is finally dry enough to start raking. Yippie!
Since I am only only able to persist at tasks for 15-20 minutes at a time, I have to divide the front yard up into about 10 little manageable sections. Yesterday I raked two sections. Today I did two more.
I also seem to rake the leaves/grass into neat, little rows rather than large, unruly piles so that I can see all of the spots I've completed. I don't have OCD I swear.
I was going to go all hardcore today and try to rake three sections of the front yard.
But then........
1. I thought I could feel a blister forming.
2. I started to have a Pepsi craving.
3. I was bored.
now this is super awesome. i would totally do something like that!!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Funny post though. Don't we all procrastinate? I'm not supposed to be on the computer right now....

Me either. Typing in the dark, actually. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone. It felt kind of weird admitting it on the internet!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your method and I can see myself doing that too! I am pretty sure that your three reasons are about the same as mine!
ReplyDeleteI love your format too for commenting. :)
Sarah, I love you. You make me smile :)
ReplyDeletep.s. not in a weird stalker way. Just in a friendly way.
Oh I feel your pain! I've been staring at my gravel covered, matted front lawn since the snow melted at the beginning of the week! Hate this job! But we are getting 4 inches of snow tonite, so I won't have to look at it until the weekend at least! ;)

I just wrote a very similar post. I too separated my yard into parts, but did it all in one day. To keep my mind active I imagined hiring children I know to help, or having my own, my mind really wandered.
ReplyDeleteI do stuff like that too! Don't feel bad LOL I love your but then... you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteHaHa! You are hilarious!! We don't really have a yard but if we did I would definitely use your method! In the past I would just rake the leaves into gigantic piles (not because I would run and jump into them ;-D) and it took forever to bag them!
ReplyDeleteLol! This is why I ready your blog! Besides the fact that you come up with some really cute stuff....you also throw in a random post every now & then which always makes me laugh!!Seriously...you.crack.me.up!!
ReplyDeleteha ha.....funny, you are just like me, i get distracted SO easily
ReplyDeleteYour photo cracks me up. I'm sitting here smiling and truely enjoying your sense of order out there on the lawn.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Looks good.
ReplyDeleteHee hee. Weird stalkers are the best kind!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to get snow this weekend, too. And we JUST got rid of it all in the front yard (still a bit in the back).
ReplyDeleteAt least the snow will give us an excuse not to do it..... heh heh heh...
Thanks Michelle!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you a Pepsi lover like me?!?
One day!?!?!? You go, girl!
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteUgh. Bagging them. Forgot about that part. :(
ReplyDeleteI agree. Random posts from other bloggers are usually my favourite too. You get to see what the people are kind of like in real life. :)
ReplyDeleteTotally. A tall, cold glass with lots of ice after painting or being out in the sun. Dreamy. Buttttt, not so good for the "health kick" I'm trying to stick to. :S
ReplyDeleteHeh heh heh. I'm sure the neighbours think I'm nuts. But hey, if it gets the job done, right?? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteRight, I just hope the wind hasn't blown them about before you could get back to them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...you sound like me. I would probably have to add being hungry to the list too :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. I totally get it. I carry snacks with me at all times so that when I get hungry I don't hurt someone in a hunger-rage (those really do exist btw). ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Pepsi!! In the summer I get a huge glass, fill it with ice and Pepsi! It tastes so good when it is hot out. :)
