Arrgghh! Why ask me to pin down dates for you if you then don't know if we're going to be able to do the thing anyway! Hello? I do have a life! (ok well this isn't strictly speaking true but it sounds good lol!) *sigh* I know she has an 18 month old child and is planning a wedding and is therefore entitled to be stressed, but why does it always seem to be me that gets the brunt of it?

CK decided TODAY AT LUNCH TIME that we're going to have Thanksgiving at our house. After we'd agreed we weren't. So now I get to weed the flower beds and clean the place from top to bottom. Waaaaaaaahhhhhh I don't wannnnaaaa!!!

Originally Posted By pennyring Meet? Tomorrow you say? What is this meet you speak of? ...but I really do need to garden ...stupid old thanksgiving
Originally Posted By smedley LOL! Come to my house for thanksgiving instead pennyring, it'll be much less painful I promise, and I've just had the garden landscaped so no gardening required!

Let me mention it to CK, and barring any biting off of my head, I'll let ya know what he says. Regardless, I know you'll have fun!! I love the Circarama!

Which makes it even harder to say I can't. I have absolutely zero motivation to pull weeds in freezing cold weather, but the yard looks bad. Really bad. We've got a Jungle Cruise - but not in a good way - thing going. In a "we might be cited by the city for having weeds too tall for the local ordinances" kind of way. But hey! If the ground is frozen and I can't do it, I'll have no choice but to crash the party, right?!?

Originally Posted By trailsend Ok, I've been following pennyring's dilema ~ have fun or pull weeds. Now, I'm not geographically located where you are. But I was wondering, can you just cover those weeds up with a bale or 2 of pine straw?? Make it look like a bed? I mean if the ground is frozen, you can't pull them. Visualize a little boundary and wha la ~ a pine straw bed!! (Or whatever is used in your area) Unless of course, it's too large an area. Then, for what it's worth ~ go have fun.

Originally Posted By pennyring Oh believe me, the roundup is for the driveway!! I don't want to use it in the flowerbeds tho cuz it'll kill the good flowers with the weeds. (There are still pansies, a few daffodils and ummmm shoot I forget the name of the other ones, still alive.) I ended up removing 24 gallons of weeds from the front flower beds today. How do I know? Cuz it filled the 12 gallon garbage can twice. And I'm still not done. Ugh. Hope everyone had some great pizza and a fun movie! Can't wait to hear about it -- has to be more interesting than weed pulling.

I feel like I'm in the second grade again. I'm peeling glue off my hands and everything. (okay just kidding. I'm not that bad.)
