So admittedly I haven't been extremely productive - house-work wise - for the past several weekends. However, today I did get a good bit of needed work done.
My number one priority was cleaning out my front garden of weeds and dead tulip stems and getting a little color back into it. I went up to my favorite nursery first thing this morning (Home Depot had jack for selection) and bought three flats of impatiens (not my favorite, but good value since the season is almost over). I then got home and weeded and planted the impatiens in the front garden; the whole ordeal took about 3 hours! Anyway, the front garden looks like a showcase now rather than an embarrassment, and I can plant something more permanent (a perennial or something) in the fall when the impatiens poop out.
Next I needed to get a wireless router. With my new roommate (who is working out like gangbusters - I'm so happy about that) we needed internet access in two rooms for two computers. The wireless router we did have is sitting on a ship in Antwerp right now, so I just went out and bought a cheap one that I can easily resell in a couple of months. While at Best Buy, I found what I've been looking all over for - Seasons One and Two of The Venture Bros! I'm totally excited! It's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.
For the remainder of the day I'll try and figure out what I am going to do with the side garden, which is completely overrun with weeds and choked plants, and the other side of the front garden, which is bare because I yanked those four bushes out. Then I have to hit the backyard!
Last night I caught the last 3/4s of Jane Austen's Persuasion and Jane Austen's Regretson Masterpiece Classics on WETA last night. They're rerunning the absolutely fantastic BBC/A&E version of Pride and Prejudice next weekend, so catch it if you can. I'm still hoping to see Persuasion in its entirety.
