The status is NOT quo.

Liese, meant to say earlier how utterly amazing your DH's accomplishment is--what a high! Please pass along ND and my congrats.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

As soon as I get myself showered and dressed I am going to go to Home Depot to talk to them about buying and planting citrus trees.

Hurray, Lee! I love having citrus trees. I too had a Home Depot gardening trip recently. I planted four new rose bushes and a baby bougainvillea.

I am looking forward to it, I must say. Just have to put in the work to make sure I don't eff it up first (and figure out how I can get the trees home). I plan on also buying some planters and stuff to put in them that I can work on today, since both OSH and Home Depot are having garden sales this weekend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Woo hoo citrus trees! And planters!

but now I don't want to waste being up, showered, dressed in outside clothes with makeup and hair and everything

You've got to find an excuse to show off your pretty to the world!

Check your local listings to see if there's some event worthy of your presence. Something where you can stroll about: garden show, car show, lawn bowling, lawn darts, champagne brunch al fresco (with book), bocce tournament, antique show...

Citrus trees sound awesome! What'll go into the planter?

Good call, David. So far I've eaten lunch (out, but not exciting) and gone to Lowe's because reading here reminded me I needed to buy a reel mower, which I did. Now I'm internetting at B&N so I can find something more fun to do. Actually, assembling the mower will probably be fun, but it can wait.
