heart: working from home (occasionally) - hate: how fast grass grows in the summer

i heart occasionally working from home. Its SO nice not to have to leave the house at quarter to 7, drive to the bus, sit on the bus, get to work, not be able to work out (unless i plan ahead), spend money on lunch (unless i pack lunch), take the bus home again, and not get home till 6:15ish. I love being at work, cuz I much prefer face time with my colleagues, and I think collaborating in person is much easier, but occasionally, home is good. It lets you stay heads down on something if you need to plow through it, and you can run quick errands at lunch if needed, or workout at lunch, or just walk to the fridge if you're hungry. AND i actually get to see the kids in the morning and throughout the day.

i hate how fast grass grows in the summer! You have to cut it every week! I mean come on really? we've already gotten like 3 letters from HOA 'politely' telling us our grass is too tall. apparently theres a 4 inch rule, and they actually measure EVERY blade with one of those plastic clear rulers. (i wonder how much they get paid to do that). Don't get me wrong, i love green grass. and its awesome having a yard. @lawn: can you maybe grow a tad slower?

  1. We don't have a HOA, but the stickers that grow in our grass if we wait more than one week keeps us in check. :(
