about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

before, during, and... permalink

I realized yesterday, after we had done the better part of three days of work on the driveway—dear g-d, three days. Maybe we should try to keep up with this stuff better—that it would be very satisfying to have before and after photos. Ah, hindsight being 20-20 or some such.

The closest I have come to a before photo is this one, taken in April.
the driveway, Before
Note, the giant green blob behind the scooter? That's my shrub roses.

And this is what it looked like last night:
the driveway, During

There is still so much to do. The shrub rose on the left must be moved. The last two lilacs should also, probably, be moved. We need to dig a 4 inch deep trench, and lay in sand and 3/4minus gravel. Where do you get 3/4minus gravel? That's another issue. Can we do all of this this week, and meet the Friday deadline? Ack!

Heh, heh. The scooter matches the tulips. :)
