Priorities

Things Paul and I need to do this weekend: Mow the yard. Edge the yard. Pull up from the garden those funny-looking plants I don't recognize. Wash the dishes. Shop for groceries.

Things we've actually accomplished: We've eaten omelets. He's gone to the lab. I just finished The Da Vinci Code, which I started reading yesterday.

He says it's been a long time since he's seen me devour a book that fast, which is true, but at the cost of completing some serious yardwork and household chores. Perhaps we should hire a maid ... you know, in the interest of keeping our priorities in order.

I have a yard man. Best $60 a month I ever spent.

I want to borrow your DaVinci code now that you have finished it.

Here's a hint-Go to random church and ask if anyone is looking for a way to pay for the summer mission trip. Then say, well they can cut my yard and I will help them pay for said trip. Works every time.

Missionaries are soooo poor. You can make them do all sorts of degrading stuff for money. We had one mow the lawn in a speedo and a ski mask, just because we could. And it was winter and snowing, so the mower kept cutting off.
