My Husband is a Genius

| | Comments (2)

Why is my husband a genius? Because he signed us up for AAA. It had been on my To Do list for months now... but I just never got around to it. Scott had some car problems a few weeks ago, so after all that trouble he signed us both up for AAA straight away. Didn't procrastinate or wait til it was too late.

Of course, I've got a schedule full of meetings today (in the DTC, then lunch at Flat Irons) and my car decides not to start!! I had to reschedule the 10am but fortunately AAA is coming to the rescue. I called them up using the little temporary paper card that Scott gave me. They're supposed to show up in the next hour and give me a jumpstart or give me a new battery if needbe. If all goes well I should still make my lunch meeting. Then the 10am is rescheduled for 3pm, which, of course, interferes with the conference call I had set up with another client at 3pm and my 4pm workout, so hopefully I can reschedule those. Craziness!

Needless to say, Scott would have helped me with the jumpstart but he's in Brazil and his car (jumping cables included) is parked at the airport. Not to worry, though, my genius-of-a-husband would never leave me stranded... nope he made sure AAA would be available to come to my rescue when he's not around.

In the meantime, flowers...

So I'm not sure about all of you... but I am eager to get the professional photos of our wedding. It was such a magical night and I can't wait to see how it was all captured by a "professional" photographer. All the pics from our friends and families have been wonderful... but, I don't know, I'm thinking the pro photos will be even better. Supposedly, they were mailed to us a week and a half ago from Mexico. Fingers crossed they come soon!

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures that I took of the flowers in our backyard. If Scott and I have green thumbs, we have not discovered them yet! I dream of one day getting in touch with a secret passion for gardening but it just hasn't happened yet. Our yard is going crazy with weeds and hay... but the beautiful thing is that the previous owners of our home were retired and apparently loved planting flowers. And without any effort on our part, millions of flowers are blooming everywhere (okay, maybe not millions, but I counted close to 30 varieties if you count the weeds that bloom). Pretty amazing. And even more amazing is the fact that if you look at these photos (notice they're all really up close) you wouldn't even know that our yard is infested with weeds. Woohoo!
