The beginning of this week fell right in the middle of Labor Day weekend. We did plenty. I will save you the details of all the random labor day things but here is a cute picture of a goat. My husband (The Smooch) and I went to the local fair where I grew up, the ever fabulous Morrow County Fair. We saw lots of old friends, ate lost of greasy food, and saw some farm animals. We thought about taking this little guy home with us. But we have a two pet limit and already have three dogs.

Tuesday was The Smooch and I's second anniversary. I thought The Smooch was the most amazing husband in the world. For my anniversary, he invited a couple guys to our house for a fantasy football draft. Not so amazing anymore. I even had to order pizza for the group. Happy Anniversary Baby. I think I will invite over my knitting circle for our anniversary next year. He later redeemed himself with flowers, a great dinner at G. Michaels and a show. We saw Totem. Totally worth the money.

My work week ended with a move day. Part of my job is organizing the moves for all the tenants in an apartment building while my company renovates their apartments. Friday was a move day for me. Move days are always the most interesting part of my job. This week's move provided much entertainment for me. There was the girl with the sink full of black sludge because she didn't want to call maintenance... and the guy who used the spare closet like a trash can. But my favorite must have been the guy who had a whacking stick by the front door for burglars and a knife under his bed for the burglars who got past the whacking stick.
The week ended with some adventures with sod. Yes sod. I will clarify for my younger readers. When you are young, you get excited about things like shopping, sex and cheap drinks. As you get older or more married, you get excited about home goods and lawn care. You laugh now but just you wait. Anyway.... our friends, decided to install sod in their backyard. Being the great friends we are, we donated my dad's truck and our time. I had to drive the truck, being the only one of the four to be able to drive a stick shift. So the husband in our friend duo and I drove to the sod place to pick up the sod. We had loaded all the sod into the truck. The tires didn't look so good. I called my dad to see what the weight limit was on his truck. He said 8-900 pounds. How much sod is there, he asks. I tentatively say 1800 lbs and hang up as quickly as I can. So getting the sod became a two day adventure. But while we were getting the second batch, The Smooch and the wife in the duo laid all the rest of the sod. When we returned, there was no yard left and still lots of sod left. So we drove the sod to our house and installed it there. If you have ever laid sod, you know it needs lots of water. I mean LOTS of water. We had loaned our sprinkler to our newly sodded friends so we were in a pickle (metaphorically speaking). Below is the results of some genius thinking, if I do say so myself.

And that is just a sampling of all the random things that happened this week. Stay tuned for another exciting episode...
