One man's trash is another man's treasure

Remember from the last post about our first Craigslist experience? Well, we got the table all fixed up and it turned out so well! All the products came from our local Lowe's store - That store is going to be the end of me, it's my second home, well...maybe third. (Work being my second home. haha. sad. ) As you can see in the "before" picture the table was kinda dull and unimpressive, aside from it's craftsmanship of course. Alicia and I saw it's potential and the diamond in the rough. After stripping off the old varnish/stain... hand sanding... re-staining... re-varnishing... We now a beautiful finished product!

For everyone wondering, we went with Minwax's Ebony stain and clear satin finish. Beautiful, right?!
Today was also a great day in the valley, warm but not hot, but kinda humid I suppose. We did get a few heavy drizzle drops shortly after lunch. Seeing the drizzle reminded me of one of the few jokes I've memorized. I actaully added on to it today...

Q: What's Snoop Dogg's favorite weather?
A: Da drizzle!
(BUT...My new modified response from this day on will be...)
A: Yo yo, snoop doggy dogg, d-o-double g, fo shizzle my nizzle I love the drizzle!

In other news, our lawn is dying... I'm not sure why or what I can do aside from watering and fertilizing (believe me, we've done PLENTY of that) So I finally resorted to some that turf rebuilder particle mix by Scott's. We'll see if that'll help the grass grow again. I should post a picture because I feel that it's dying in such a weird pattern... You'd think that it's a combination of dog's peeing in the same spot plus possible gopher/ rabbits tunneling... Any suggestions? I've dug up the dry spots and surprisingly enough the dirt under neath is MOIST... but the grass is as dry, well, as dead as heck!

Have a good night fellow readers... Of which I think there are none... I'm just going to keep blogging until I get on Good Morning America though. Hahaha. G'nite!
