You know what's cool about spending half a day weeding the front yard?

• making the front of the house look better (duh)
• soaking in the buttery California sunshine of a gorgeous Spring day
• finding one of the trees to be packed with ladybugs and their creepily cute larvae
• feeling a sense of accomplishment and having a trashcan full of evidence that I do more than surf internet porn watch CSI all day
  

You know what's not cool about spending half a day weeding the front yard?

• apparently being allergic to something in the yard and getting a case of the itchies
• sandy dirt in my eyes, down my shirt and between my toes
• reaching for a weed and getting a handful of snail - ew
• flirting with the cute Bulgarian boy next door in an unsuccessful attempt to talk him into detailing my car when he was done detailing his boss's (my landlord's)*

*WTF stupid language barrier making him immune to my charms?**

** or maybe it had something to do with me being sweaty and caked in dirt
