Okay, I know I just posted yesterday about how I should stop bitching about work, money and my apartment. So please don’t look at this as bitching. Instead, I’m just stating how I feel…
Today, on this beautiful spring day, my upstairs neighbors began planting in our garden out front. Seeing this made me very, very sad that we will be moving out sometime soon in the coming months.
I have a backyard!!! But I can’t do anything with it. Well, I can, but it’s useless to put time and money into something that I won’t be around to enjoy.
Our backyard is in desperate need of a makeover. And I love makeovers! I had so many plans for that backyard. Here’s what I’m sadly going to be missing out on:
*Vegetable Garden. I wanted to plant carrots, cucumbers, green beans and tomatoes. Think of the salads I would have had!
*Grilling Parties. A hot summer night. Hamburgers, wieners, and veggie burgers on the grill. Corn on the cob. Grilled asparagus. Brewskies. Sangria. Will Smith’s Summertime playing in the background.
*Mojito Party! I wanted to have a Friday afternoon party where all of my friends ditched work early, or called in sick and came over to my backyard to sit in the sun and drink mojitos. It would have been the kind of party where you’re drunk by dinnertime and in bed by 10pm.
*Sun Tanning. This was going to be the summer that I was finally going to get rid of the farmer’s tan that I’ve had for 28 years. My room is right next to the backyard, so I was gonna put some Dolly on my iPod, crack open the windows, and go lay out in the sun for hours.
Wow, our first nice spring day… and I’m depressed.

Brian, honey, your back yard was scary! Are all those old mattresses gone?
Were there even old mattresses out there? It was dark …
