Why I haven't check my blog.....

I am sunburnt in patches *tries not to scratch*: most of my arms; except where my pro-life wrist band sat and where my sleeves were (should have worn a sleeveless shirt, like I was thinking!. The back of my neck is hot and the tip of my nose is very red. You see, this morning I was dragged out of bed at the ungodly hour of 5:30 and arrived at work early, so we could prepare the planting bed for a water fall. Today Reinders Inc. (a turf and irrigation warehouse) decided to have a "Build a Pond Day". About a week ago, my dad (the manager) noticed we were supposed to be hosting this event, but had not received any information from the mother-store. I quickly used my new B.A. in communication and the arts to throw together a poster (a masterpiece, considering I had only the Word program and copied graphics from the Reinders web site to work with. *big eye roll*).
The Big-shots from Elm Grove came up to instruct all of two people and me how to install a pond and waterfall. I came and went in between my shelf stocking and shipping duties. I hauled gravel, ran a Dingo (a cool walk-behind mini skid steer), selected rocks with a discerning eye and tried not to get in the way. I got lunch, soda and an earfull on the art and chemical of pond installation. *wipes her brow* All in a days work.
