If anyone has put in a fence I would love to hear what type of fence you used, if you did it yourself, and how much it cost. The neighbor next to us at the new house has a rottweiler so we need to put fencing up ASAP.
My parents put up a 6 ft white vinyl fence last summer. My dad and his friend did it in one day on their own. They rented a machine to dig the fence holes. I don't know how much everything was total, but I do know that doing it themselves saved a lot of money!
I drank too much wine last night while bowling. But I feel ok today. Yeah!
Going to gym today to make up for yesterday...I did weigh in for the dietbet and I've met the goal...now to keep it up until the official weigh in on Tuesday/Wednesday.

ohinvrtedworld I'm so sorry your inlaws made you feel bad. And I got myself one of those hubbies too. He's compassionate about why I cry but after a while he gets impatient and wants me to stop. Which makes me cry harder. Men!
Bless their little manly hearts. I am a melancholy personality, so when things are going downhill, they go WAY down, and he doesn't get that so he has a hard time sitting still and listening. He wants to address the problem, find a solution, and get back on the road to being happy.
MH is SO happy-go-lucky about TTC. He is pretty ambivalent, and would be just as excited to adopt as he would be to find out that I'm pregnant. Of course I'm glad he doesn't make me feel like a failure, but some vestige of understanding would help.

If anyone has put in a fence I would love to hear what type of fence you used, if you did it yourself, and how much it cost. The neighbor next to us at the new house has a rottweiler so we need to put fencing up ASAP.
We put up an 8 ft chain link fence with a double gate for our dogs this past summer. I'd have to ask MH how big an area it is but I think it was a 50x50ft. (Our entire side yard, so it's huge) We have big dogs so we wanted the extra height. Having the double gate also added some to the cost, but we wanted to make sure we could get our rider mower in it.
I got a couple of estimates, but we ended up paying around 2.5k-3k. One estimate was way higher 4.5k and they wouldn't do a double gate. One was lower, but they wouldn't do 8ft fence (they didn't have the supplies).
**Our lawn is fairly smooth but did have a slope they needed to deal with as well.
I also wanted chain link because I wanted to be able to see the dogs from the house (our fence is not attached to the house its more like a fenced in enclosure )
Sorry for the word vomit. I just tried to think of everything I was thinking about at the time!
Edited because I wanted to add that kayladawn91, is right that you save a ton of money doing it yourself. But for us the size of the area, height of the fence, and slightly slope of some of the yard made us figure professionals would do better.

If we went to Home Depot for things like picking a pretty new sink, subway tile for my kitchen, or something like that, I'd like it again. These days, we'll be out on a date night and then out of nowhere H remembers "oh, I need a screw for this one random thing in our house" and we'll be there for an hour trying to figure out which screw he needs.

Why does clutter not bother my husband? I'm cleaning the kitchen and he has like 5 random cups sitting all around the sink. They're clean. Put them in the cabinet!
My husband is currently sitting for his tattoo. The look on his face when the buzz started was kind of funny. He's totally excited and willing to get it, but his face was this mixture of horror and da fuq am I getting into?
Other than a giggle at his face,he's fine now that it started.
My artist checked the healing on mine and said it's looking good to her.
After this, we are having a weekend in. Cards, beer, and some food tossed in a crockpot.

Boooooorrriiiiiiing
which tile?? I know Home Depot tile too well. I'm obsessed.
*eta: which tile are you looking for?
Oh, I wish that we were looking at tile. We're renting and I am paying no money to fix our ugly kitchen lol. If I bought a house and was doing a kitchen remodel, though, I'd so be into the pretty white subway tile.

Is it his first tattoo? MH and I both got our first ones in the past few weeks so it's been fun watching each other, making fun of each other's reactions and videotaping.
I'm so sorry you had to sit through that ohinvrtedworld. Big hugs.
H and I are at his parents' in KY. We just made some more cheese (mozzarella and queso blanco). Now we are headed to grab some lunch and then go look at a house (his parents are looking for a new house).

It is his first. It's pretty funny when the artist is close to the boney parts of his arm because he tries not to cringe but his face scrunched a little bit.
