Rocky Road
5 tons = 10,000 pounds = 4535.9237 kilograms = 160,000 ounces = 70,000,000.00000001 grains
That is a LOT of rocks.
It took us about 5 hours to spread them around the three areas we were dropping them. Along the side of the house we have an enclosed dog run and after 20 years the tree roots have started poking through the patio bricks. We decided (Adrian's idea, and a good one) to get up all the bricks and just replace them with loose rock. Since we were doing that we decided to cover a second area where the grass had died anyway, and since we were doing THAT we decided to fix up the 450 square foot rock-covered area that sits next to our driveway, which had some bare patches and was looking pretty ratty.
My body hurts. But the front and side yards look great, so it was worth it.
It may be a blessing that my dance coach called and said she had a performance tonight and could we maybe reschedule tonight's class for sometime over the weekend? Oh sweet Jesus yes. My body is slowly coming back to normal but a couple times I just had to lay down on the sidewalk (actually, on the rock pile once or twice).
Of course, all of this gave Adrian and I a great excuse to take a shower together.
A good hairstylist knows how to give an orgasmic shampoo. Adrian has been tipped by people before just for the way he washes their hair. It felt REALLY good tonight and I wondered if he shampooed all of his clients this way -- "this way" meaning "naked in a shower." I hope not. Not so much because he'd be naked in a shower with someone, but because if this IS the way he gives shampoos at work, he really should be coming home with a lot more money.
Finally, I would gladly pay a dollar to hear, just once, a chair umpire at a tennis match tell a crowd to "shut the hell up!" rather than just saying, "quiet, please, thank you."

Sounds like you are taping an episode of "Sell My House" on TLC. By the way, I LOVE those types of shows. It gives me great ideas of how I want my future house to be.
"A good hairstylist knows how to give an orgasmic shampoo."
Damn! I have been going to the wrong hairstylists! I could really go for a few "orgasmic" shampoos. Oh, who am I kidding. I would never leave the salon :-)

Hmm. Personally I never shower with anyone else. Taking turns to stand under the water with shampoo in my eyes while freezing my arse off is not my idea of fun.
Still, a good shampoo-ist might change my mind yet.
