Ding Dong

1. Ding Dong.....the Leaves are Gone! When Rachel's sitter confirmed this to me today, it felt like this great weight (15+ bags of leaves...now mulch w/ all the rain) had been lifted.....from our front yard! So happy! It's been over 4 weeks (mind you, these are supposed to be collected weekly), and finally, today, they told me the supervisor's name that would be personally picking them up. It only took calling each week, but the bags of leaves are gone and I think (hope) 98% of the leaves are off of the trees. I think we can manage w/ the remaining leaves (maybe just mow them into the dwindling grass).
2. Survivor spoiler alert....but Ding Dong, the big mean bully witch is gone! Buh bye Crystal! Yay! Go Bob....Mr. 57 year old physics teacher! He probably won't win, but maybe, just maybe he will this season in Africa. Once in a while there should be a winner that's a good guy, right? Oh well, but he survives one more week, and I leave the show happy tonight. For once, the people w/ the bad attitudes, dumb ideas and lack of survival skills that manage to stay longer in the game than they should are blindsided and don't have a shot at the million. Enjoy the seat on the jury!!!
