My Million Dollar Idea

My friend from high school is getting married next month. Now, normally I wouldn't have given another thought and would have just sent a card saying "Congrats!" but this is one of my GOOD friends. So we're going.

I thought about what to get him and his lovely bride-to-be, usually we just give a check, but I wanted to do something crazy for once and buy something off of the registry. I now kind of regret it.

So, here is my million dollar idea, when a bride-to-be or mother-to-be registers for something, I feel as though when you look at the item online it should say "THIS IS HUGE AND WILL TAKE UP SOME STORAGE" or "THIS IS SMALL BUT MAKES YOU LOOK CHEAP".

The UPS man brought this HUGE box up to the house and I was very confused. I open it, and it's the picture frame that I ordered from the registry. I thought it was going to be something medium sized but not something so big that it takes up 1/4 of my couch.

I realize that most picture frames say the dimensions on the site, but I so stupidly ignored it. It's not like the picture frame itself is huge, it's the ridiculous amount of packaging and the fact, I can't wrap the frame by itself without random corners poking through.

I now have a full month to keep it out of Vada and Charlottes reach, and protected long enough to make it to the wedding, after that. It's theirs to figure out where to put it.

Pocket Watch

I have started to use Clinton's old pocket knife as our weed eater. There isn't much grass in our yard and that weeds were really starting to become out of control.

This was a terrible idea.

So I texted my mom and my sister to see how much a new weed eater would cost.

In the text I said, "Are weed eaters expensive? This pocket watch crap has got to go."

To which my sister said "What? I'm so confused..."

After some explanation, I think it just verified that I'm crazy and garden with spoons and weed eat with pocket knives. I use what I have and what's free, okay? 

I'm just cheap when it comes to gardening and yard equipment apparently.  

Here is proof I can grow something without killing it!

Sorry you'll have to turn your head sideways to look at it.
