Mowing the Lawn
We have a fairly big yard--about 1 acre, and it takes Ben about 1 1/2 hours to mow (it takes me 2 hours because I am a little slower) on our riding lawn mower. We have been in this house for almost 5 years, and the first time I moved the lawn was last year. Ben didn't want me using his mower--wouldn't even let me touch it. I offered several times, but he politely refused. Finally the first time I got to mow it he was weed eating while I mowed, and when he was done he kept looking at me and motioning "Get off" and following me around and saying "My turn." I just kept going and laughed. I don't know what it is with guys and their lawn mowers. This morning I was talking on the phone with him at work and said, "I am going to mow the lawn this afternoon." "NO!" He says, "I will do it when I get home." I said, 'When? We have this and this and this, there is no time." "No," he says, "I will do it." I said, "What? You don't like the way I mow the lawn?" then he didn't really answer and I just laughed. It must be a guy thing. But I admit, I would be kind of leery of him using my Cricut, so I guess it goes both ways. :) But I'd better go, I have to get the lawn mowed before he gets home :)
