I say this, and I just know I&#8217;ll walk out tomorrow and see that our lawn is brown or something awful.  Today we finished all of our beds, and that means that I&#8217;ve only got one more spot to finish up at.  We have a tall fence that cuts off our backyard on a slope, and there&#8217;s nice plants mixed in with super-tough weeds.  It&#8217;s going to be an awful time seperating that.  I think that what I&#8217;d rather do is dig the stuff up along the fence, and just have grass growing.  It&#8217;s too hard to seperate, and too much of a pain to keep it up there.  I&#8217;m looking for low maintenance.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been a wacky and wild week with me, and honestly, I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s only going to get worse.

On the downside of things, I&#8217;m preparing for an interview I&#8217;m not sure that I even have yet, and I&#8217;m freaking out.  <i>Really<\/i> freaking out.  The current job is only getting worse, and that&#8217;s causing more distress.  I&#8217;ve got to get to the end of this soon.<br \/>\nOh yeah!  And the quilt for A&#038;V&#8217;s Wedding Spectacularrrr isn&#8217;t even close to being done.  I&#8217;ve gotta get myself into &#8220;so stressed out that I can&#8217;t stand it anymore&#8221; mode before I get it finished up.  I&#8217;m stressed out with the fact that I&#8217;m not sure how to quilt it, and I&#8217;m stressed out that it&#8217;s not done.
