Yard Work {Junkie}

With the arrival of warmer weather, Bill has been absolutely itching to get outside every single weekend to do some sort of work in the yard.

Rake up the leaves.

Rip out all the weeds in the yard/garden area.

Get the garden started.

Just generally be outside in the heat.

Me, on the other hand? I dunno, I don't really like being outside too much because of (and not limited to): extreme heat, I don't like being sweaty, I don't like bugs, bees terrify me, and being out in the sun right now is a genuine health concern because I don't want to overdose on Vitamin D. 

Most of you are probably sitting there stumped, thinking "how you can you overdose on D, considering most of the country is low on D?" Well, last doctor's visit, I was told I am low on Vitamin D, so I've been taking 50,000 units of D a week, as well as switched to whole milk. So, with all that D in my body, I don't want to risk it.

If I do work outside, it has to be close to sunset, because I suffer from heat exhaustion very easily—I even got heat stroke one year at work!

So, while Bill works hard in the yard (heh, rhyme), I'll stay inside reading my books. ;)

{Little Letters}

Dear Heath coffee creamer: Oh. My. Lanta. You are so delicious! I wasn't really expecting you to make my coffee taste like liquid Heath bar. Om nom nom.
Dear firepit: You are the perfect addition to our little yard! So warm and toasty, and perfect for toasting marshmallows, or roasting hot dogs!

Dear Disqus: Thank you so, so, so much for making my commenting system so much nicer! Now I don't have to worry about it no longer working, and if something does break, I know there's a team behind it ready and waiting to fix my problems!
Dear warm weather: Ahhh, it's so nice to not be freezing all the time! I just hope I don't melt when it gets REALLY hot out.
Dear boom of traffic to my blog: Hi new readers! I'm not sure we're you're coming from, but I welcome you nonetheless!

Introducing {Disqus}

Even since launching this blog, I've had various people contact me to say "Comments aren't working." It's discouraging to hear that, because I love reading what y'all have to say! 

Well, no more! Today, I've updated the comments system to Disqus, with the hopes that the problems will cease. All of the old comments will be imported to the new server within the next 24 hours. 

So, please excuse the potential bugs that will be working themselves out between now and this time tomorrow!

xoxo,
