Ugh I am beat. The idea was 30 mins or so, just pick up some leaves etc, turned into a 2.5 hour job, we cleaned out the leaves in the 2 bad spots around the house where the wind blows them all to, which from the looks of it, had not been done in years, then we trimmed the hell out of the trees and bushes which looks like it had not been done in years as well, so now we have a huge pile of branches that will sit there until next Monday when the yard waste is picked up.
We still have some branches and 3 stumps I want to get a chainsaw to cut them up and then we will have to give the front yard a good raking, so many years of neglect has piled up and it is killing off the grass before it has a chance to grow, I hate raking leaves with a passion and the 3 blisters I now have remind me how much I hate raking as I type, but it needs to be done. This house is a hundred times better since we moved in, not even the same property. So we are pleased with what we have done in such a short time. We have just two rooms left to paint and a chainsaw and the worse will be over with.
Pittsburgh Steelers have won it all, not much of a surprise; I was leaning toward Seattle by about 51/49, so I am not bothered really. Nice to see Jerome Bettis get a ring, I have been a fan of his since he was at Notre Dame and I am also a huge fan of Antwan Randel El. He would have been a Heisman winner had he gone to a major football school and not Indiana University. IU is a great basketball school, but not a Football School.
We had gone up to some friends in Buffalo New York for a party last year and had a really great time, we went back there in October for a Bills/Jets game and again had a really great time and was suppose to go back there this year for another Super Bowl bash, but there was a “person†who was going to be there that we do not want to be in the same room with, a total piece of crap. What some people will do/want to do to “get even†with someone when they get their feelings hurt… ugh… so not worthy of being in the group of people who was going to be there, but that is not my call. Everyone has their own choices to live by and we choose not to be around this piece of shit completely out of respect to our friends who do not deserve to have a good time ruined, so we decided to stay home this year.
