I stopped by the dry cleaners, on a whim, to see if my missing pink sweater that I wore to my dad's wedding reception might be there. "Yep", the cashier told me, "you owe $28.79". Sure, I bought it at Banana Republic, it has a great neckline, and is super soft, but almost $30? To clean? Beer and mozarella cheese stick stains are that difficult to remove?

Returning with my pink sweater and two dresses (ahhhhh), she told me they'd been there since October 2004, and were on their way to Goodwill this weekend, if I hadn't shown up.

I saw my house on the internet, on a local realtor's listing website, went to look at it during my lunch hour, and put in an offer the next day. I immediately fell in love with the yard, which is a beautiful corner lot with puh-lenty of trees and blooming azaleas. The only problem? I'm not exactly sure where my property line is. I'd like to rake it and take some cuttings, but I'm kind of embarrassed to go next door and ask after a year and a half.

L'Oreal. Because I'm worth it.

You be the judge - doesn't that little green pylon look like a property marker?

Somebody better get her ass out there and rake, dammit!

	Fantasy Dreams发表: No idea what that green marker is.... round here the property edge is marked by a fence and it is usually within a foor of your house, lol, and thats considered a fairly big garden. Your house looks nice. I found my dream house last week in the paper, but sadly I can't afford it, and it isn't even that special..... (it's on my space if you want to have a look) 4 月 30 日
	KentStephen发表: Actually, the flowers look to be doing just fine with the extra "mulch" laying around - don't fix what's not broken. ;) 4 月 27 日
	Terri发表: Gorgeous property! I drug my husband in to look at the green thing - MY vote was on a gas line/water line cap. I just KNEW my guy would know...but alas, I am sorry. After staring at the screen for a few, he mumbled and shrugged and mosied away. I guess he didn't know after all. And he knows everything. ;) Will you let us know when you figure it out? p.s. in our land, property lines are rebar. with an ugly orange cap. ewwww. 4 月 26 日
	Bob发表: Hi!! I participated in the "Show Us Your Computer Space" thing awhile back and I'm doing one starting May 1st called "Pimp Yo Ride" where everyone posts photos of therir cars; present, past or fantasy! I really liked the list you had where you captured everyone's blog and photo gallery without showing any subsquent blogs that they may have posted (at least I think that was how your list worked! lol). Any way, if you could tell either me or kitty ( http://spaces.msn.com/kittyscattitude/) how you did that it would be appreciated!! And btw, I hope you can post a few pics too!!! Thanks!! Bob~ 4 月 26 日
	S.Stephanie发表: Notice I was nice, and didn't say anything about leaving your stuff at the cleaners that long... lmao I'm sooo proud of myself! (K) Steph 4 月 26 日
	S.Stephanie发表: hmm Looks like a marker to me. Cuttings huh? Can you send me some? It's a gorgeous setting, no wonder you loved it. BIG HUGS, Steph 4 月 26 日
	L发表: LOL @Q I started to look for a house on line 2 years ago just before we bought this one (which I found on a drive by) and now I'm addicted. I'm such a voyeur I love to see how crazy some people are and drool over the architectural digest beauties as well....my version of "porn" I guess!;P At least it's free =) Lorna 4 月 26 日
	Sarah发表: Must be a record. You should clip some of those pretty flowers for your kitchen table while your raking. 4 月 26 日
	NatalieQ发表: I am in the process of selling and buying... long distance. What a pain in the ass. And, for the life of me, I cannot imagine what in the heck people were thinking when the posted the pics of their home interiors. I have to shield my eyes to see the possibilities through all the flowers, hearts, really bad wallpaper, colors (omfg, what are these people thinking?), and, just in general, do they really think they can get THAT much for the dump? Holy Cow! I am just about to list my home in Arizona... I'm gonna tack on 10k just because of what I've been seeing. Market analysis be damned. Congrats on your new house. s Q 4 月 26 日
	MccallMichael发表: Ah, the joys of home ownership. Seems each area of the country has its own system of property boundry markers. The family farm in North Carolina original boundry markers was trees (as entered into the original 1736 survey). The last boundry markers are stone with numbers engraved in it. I guess the stone markers are still there. I bet you have a virus in your computer that is causing the printer not to work. I did, eventually it spread and affected the system32 files. and I lost everything on the cpu. And this was recent (thats why I have not been able to visit - lost your blog address in the process of reinstalling windows XP) - Keep the cpu ... buy Norton and become virus free! Gotta run ... drop by sometimes. 4 月 26 日
	TQ 发表: I'm just jazzing you, I'm over the "flake" bit. Too bad my date was wasted when he dressed himself... He couldn't match me, let alone himself. He had a blue hirt, green pants, black tie, brown belt, and sandles- his explanation- "you know I'm a drunk"-- but we had fun. I'm thinking maybe Tony could take that Mon off of work, and come down Sunday? 4 月 26 日
	MuenstermanMarcie发表: Why don't the cleaners call?? Erich "lost" some shirts and after arguing about it for days, he finally went to the cleaners...they'd been there 2 months. He said "oh, I was just going to call you today...yah, right!" Anyway...I wanted to comment on Summer - who is gorgeous...I'm sure wherever she is she is happy and misses you too...It made me tear up to even look at the pic of her and think of my own cats wandering off and I just couldn't bare that thought. You are so amazing, though. I love the kitty condo. It is incredibly enticing and they just love it! How cute! I hope all is well today in Indigo's world - I have been MIA planning my freaking wedding....wow, who knew I could be so crazy about one day...sucks. 4 月 26 日
	Candy发表: Guarantee you can get it at Spencers! 4 月 26 日
	bren发表: why can't you just do the midnight clipping routine? ya know we are not gonna tell 4 月 26 日
	L发表: Dry cleaning not worn since 2004 is the same as getting new clothes. A property marker around here is a metal spike planted in the earth with an orange wooden stake beside it so I don't know what that is???? I wouldn't be too embarrassed about not knowing where your property ends. I know that my lot is 283 feet deep but I'd have to get a tape out and measure from front to back to see where my yard ends and the fields behind it begin and this is my second spring here. The people next door are selling their farm land after owning it for 11 years and they had to pay $1000 for a survey because they weren't sure where the back property line was for their 90 acre spread. ;) Lorna 4 月 26 日
	Flake 发表: I could only put up two pics up from formal- and I'm not going to blog until i'm out of this depressive slump, it'd be a debbie downer blog, and who wants to read that..( that's all I kept think.... who really is going to care about this bs) but I did put some tuff up!! and changed it around too 4 月 25 日
	Nikki发表: 2004?! Wow.....and I thought mine at 3 months was a long time. 4 月 25 日
	KuhnHeidi发表: Oh yeah - that reminds me I dropped off some dry cleaning months ago that I need to pick up.....but 2004....omg!! LOL Why can't they call after 2 weeks or something and remind us?? -Heidi 4 月 25 日
	KuhnHeidi发表: I'm thinking that's some sort of utility-box-hider-thingy (and it's not hiding very well). I'd just tell your neighbor you're thinking about having some landscaping done.....and do they know where their property line is - because you wouldn't want to infringe on their land.....wink -Heidi 4 月 25 日
	Indigo-XX发表: Kathleen: I've had the house for a year and a half, but had renters in it for 6 months last year...and I have no idea what a plat is, but it sounds important... And great, sounds like you found out about your surprise baby shower (it's on May 13th at noon) ;) T: I've decided the azaleas are mine, regardless ;) Darren: is that where you've been all this time? Letting your mind wander?! HA! David: it's probably just a marker for all the chipmunks my kittens are killing ;) Leah: I can't wait to see what else blooms this summer... Candy: any idea where I can find some plastic police tape? I can tie it around the fence posts myself... Cathy: no wonder I like you! Protoford: I'm not sure if small-town county, Southern Alabama has a website, but it's certainly worth checking - thanks. Lucinda: like I said, we'll take care of that crazy stalker bitch - just say the word ;) 4 月 25 日
