WE HAVE A TRASH CAN. Yes - it's THAT exciting.

Weekend Recap:

Friday I get home and look what was in the yard:

Yep. That's right. Boys and girls - we are now using trash pick-up service. We are ballers now. No, but really - this is a big deal. When we first bought the house G said he wasn't paying $17 a month to have someone pick up the trash. Well, I think he finally agreed that him taking it twice a week (on the back of the jeep rack) was a big pain in the booty.

So, about over a month ago I called to get the service. They charged me for 3 months right then and told me I would have my "container" in 5-7 business days. No problem. Well, day 7 rolls around and on day 8 I call. They tell me "We have a shortage on containers right now but you can put your trash on the street and we'll pick up" - um, no. We live in the sticks and animals would DESTROY the bags.

So, I wait another week - the lady says, "I am so sorry - you will have it by the end of the week" - well, Friday at 7pm and STILL NO TRASH CAN.

Finally, last week I called again. I told the lady I wanted my money back or at least my can and for my payment to be pushed forward since I have missed THREE pick-ups in this time. Well, Friday when I got home - here she was.

Saturday: Gym, grocery store, lazy (me), new mulch in the yard (G) and then dinner with Greg's fam for Labor Day.

Sunday: Sunday School, Church, lunch at McLean's and then a visit to G-ma's with a lot of family. Then, a quick McDonald's snack/dinner with mom, dad, g-ma, Uncle Wade and Aunt Joyce.

Monday: Sleep in, breakfast at IHOP, Target run and then I came home to clean the house (we have game night at our house Friday night) and G played golf. Then, more being lazy. FINALLY, put the trash in the new can and pulled it to the street - YAY!

It was a great 3 day weekend - hope yours was great, too!
