Dirt

We all agreed that buying a vacuum is pretty lame. Daresay a few months ago I would have said it's the lamest thing you could need to buy. But suddenly a new contestant enters the race: Dirt.


I've been working on putting my back yard in, and after a week of grueling dirt removal, I now have the pleasure of buying dirt. The substance you try to keep out of your house and off your shoes. I'm paying money for it. And it's all over my shoes and been tracked into my house. My own fault.

On a brighter note, I found free manure to till into my yard. I never thought I would be excited about manure, but I am overjoyed about it's free-ness. Some things in life are free. I had just been hoping it wasn't going to be poop.
