How I spent my weekend - part 2

Tweet

Just before S left, J, my guy friend, came over. My desktop computer was having problems and he took the canned air and blew about a peck of dust out of my computer, he determined that the CPU fan was defunct. We piled in the car to head to Fry's for a new CPU fan. After getting the fan, we went to yet a different Home Depot for some things. I got the faucet I need for yet another project, the one in the kitchen is seriously acting up. That was yet another nearly $200 trip. Are you counting yet? So far that's almost $600 for the garden and another $200 for other stuff. Also, we got a trellis for our snow peas to grow on, a couple of plastic owls to hopefully deter the birds and some of those low, wire fences to hopefully keep the nasty little dogs from across the street who run loose out of the garden. That was another nearly $200 trip. By the time we were done with that running around, we were so tired, we just called Olive Garden and picked up dinners for us. J and the roomie both had spaghetti with meat sauce and I had cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce. Since the only things we had eaten earlier were a cup of coffee and some chicken I had picked up just before S had arrived, we figured that we had worked hard enough to not worry over much about the diet. J headed off home and the roomie and I headed off to bed. We knew that Sunday we'd start planting and that would be our hard day.
