Things that bother/anger/offend me:

• people who drop a utensil into a giant vat of mac & cheese and then think it’s appropriate to scoop it out with their bare fingers
• dogs who don’t play with my dogs
• my lazy gardener

I come home today to this…

Because I was too angry to take a semi-decent photo, let me tell you what’s pictured. My solar path lights have been plucked from my front lawn and LEFT ON THE SIDEWALK!!!!

These path lights are very cheap. That’s not why I’m angry. I’m angry that this lazy human being I didn’t even want to hire decided it was okay to remove a piece of hardware from my property and leave it lying on a sidewalk. 

Okay, now that I read what I wrote, I might be overreacting. A little. No, I’m not. It doesn’t take *any* effort to replace these lights. In fact, a toddler could handle this task (with proper adult supervision because the stakes are kind of pointy and sharp). The stakes go into these holes that you can spot even with vision as poor as mine. So it’s a matter of simple motor skills. And if a gardener cannot manage simple motor skills, I don’t know what good they are with gas-powered equipment on my property.

I’m making a big deal out of this probably because I’m tired. I’m tired of dealing with outcomes of situations I have no control over. This. This, I have control over. And that’s why I am firing the gardener.

I’m sure people who own homes in places other than California just laugh at our lot size. Luckily, I live in Long Beach where there are a ton of awesome parks and I can walk to see the ocean if I was really in the mood to. So the plan for the backyard is simple… create an extended living area where the dogs can sunbathe and we can have more space to entertain.

We’re working through all the hurdles that come with being a part of an HOA. Once it’s approved, we’re eager for our contractors to get started. 

My husband totally rejected my idea for roman shades in the kitchen. He acted as if I had invited Roman Polanski over for dinner.

Yes, but how do I get my husband to do this? His New Year’s gift was a Sheldon Cooper shirt folder so the laundry room is his room now.
