Let's try to make it a repeat for Sunday.

So far - it isn't noon yet - it looks like that could be the case.
I have managed to find the inside of my closet. For some that may not be a task but for me it is a struggle. It never takes that long to put the clothes away but I just drag it out to an unbearable task..
I hit the back yard this morning. The sun is out and it is not that warm yet but in the direct sun it was pleasant. My biggest task - what the heck to do with the grass that won't grow?! This has been my nemesis since I moved into the house. Sure they put so down on crappy soil when they finished the house. But that didn't work out too well - long story I am sure I complain about every Spring. Last year I yucked most of the grass and weeds (it was mostly weeds) and started to re-seed. That didn't take. So now my redneck yard (and it is a tiny one at that) need something. I am thinking - increase the size of the patio and forget the grass. Let's face it I have much better luck with plants than I do with grass. And it's not like Bacchus is lying about in the lush grass - there is NONE. So I think I will head back out there and get some measurements for a new patio. In the interim - the weeding of it all sure was a great workout for the arms.
From there I continued with some tinkering
Me and the mmighty putty went to work on the car. My passenger side view mirror has been broken for some time now. As I drive down the highway it loses its footings and drops. I kind of get a view of the sky going by. Really not handy when it comes to highway driving. So we shall see if the mighty putty really works.
While on the epoxy kick I decided to sure-up my teak table. I was thinking maybe I would replace it - it is old yadda yadda yadda... And then I had that conversation with myself - the teak is old and weathered?!?!!! hello??? Teak? The wood they make boats out of? Looking old and weathered? Duh - isn't that the point? Well the other point is the fixtures on the under side of the table AREN'T teak.... and they are splitting and pulling apart. So I flipped the table over and took some wood glue to it. Now I need to head to the marine supply store - I know 4 hours inland and we have a marine supply store? It is for the lakes I suppose. Anyways I need to get some teak cleaner and teak oil and then I will be happy with the table once again.
Lastly I installed some new solar lights along the edge of the driveway - see previous Target reference.
Oh and I started dinner - stewed chick peas, tomatoes and raisins (I threw in some dried mango in for the heck of it as well) with grilled chicken thighs marinated in cinamon, cayenne and curry. I have some yogurt and cucumber as well to round it all out.
And maybe I will find that gym again today.
