Everyone:

The area where that table now sits was once covered with the wood that was left over when the last owners of the house cut down that giant tree in our yard... (that giant stump is proof). Oh, and, yes, my lawn is a disaster, I know. It's okay, though. Eventually I'll water it. Also, check out my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree.

Fact, the weekend is over. Fact, I haven't been at school for four days. Fact, I did not have a four-day weekend. 

I did, however, have a nice, normal two-day weekend. I played with my giant pile of wood for like 4 hours yesterday. I just kept moving it around and around until I got tired and decided to be done. My front yard looks a lot nicer now that it doesn't have a giant pile of crap in it. I did however, run through a rose bush while playing with the dog. That was a disaster. I also ran across 6 Black Widow Spiders and about 15 brown spiders. I killed them all. (that's right, I'm way hard). 

I have about 15 new reasons to hate my dog.. look at my legs and count the scratches. 

Not sure you can see it, but there is a fairly large size spider in the center of the this picture. The ground underneath the wood looked like this (covered in dirt and sticks and filled with spiders).
