Oh, Monday. So soon?  And maybe with snow? That's harsh.

How was the weekend?  Ours was mostly good.  It was the first weekend in a couple months that Nate didn't have to work on Sunday.  That was awesome.  But we did have a bird trying to break into our house.  It kept slamming itself into our patio doors and living room window. I don't know how the stupid thing didn't kill itself.  I should note that I have a bird phobia. Birds can not be trusted with their pointy beaks and beady eyes. I texted Nate on Saturday telling him I was going to call the cops. He followed with a text of how he had to go buy deodorant because he forgot to wear some that morning.  He clearly was concerned about my safety (rude) and tax season is rotting his brain.

We did do some discussing of our plans for the next few months.  It sounds like Decor and Dog won't be lame once tax season is over. Woo hoo!  Ike is pumped.  He misses the blog.

I'm not sure if it's the extra hour of day light or the fantastic weather we are having this week but I've been one productive human being.  None of it really blog worthy but I definitely feel like I accomplished something!

Today I thought I'd share a quick yard update.  A yard update?  Sounds boring.  But there is a dramatic Michelle story involved so hang in there.  It is, however, long.

It's starting to look like Spring outside.  And our yard no longer looks like a zombie apocalypse.

What a good start to this Monday.  The sun is shining.  We're supposed to hit 50 degrees.  There's a chance we may have survived Winter!

My family was in town this weekend to celebrate my birthday.  We did our usual eating and thrifting adventures.  My brother commented that Decor and the Dog has been lame lately.  To which I replied "Your face is lame...and you're right."  He then called me lazy.  I then asked him how many DIY projects he's completed since January.  He replied that he painted a monkey.  I didn't ask further questions (mainly because I was terrified of the answer) but called it a tie.  I guess I'm becoming a normal human being that doesn't destroy their house every 2 seconds.  I'm sure it's just a phase.
