Landscaping Advice Needed

So we worked on the flower bed last night. Hooray! There's still quite a bit of tedious stuff to do, but at least it looks a little better. We got most of the dead grass out and pulled out all of the big weeds. There's still some Bermuda that needs to be pulled out and then I think I'm going to put Preen in it (at least that's what the plant outlet guy suggested--but I didn't get to talk to the Australian guy...what a let down). Maybe I'll go visit in person and leave hollerin' "what a buy, what a buy!"

So, I'll probably put some Preen in, Round Up all of the weeds I can't pull, plant some shrubs, and then in a day or two I'll get the weed block stuff and put it in. It's a great plan in theory, but I have quite a few things to do in the next few days so we'll have to see what gets priority.

I also have a couple of things lined up that I need to paint. I don't really have an imminent deadline or anything, but I'm trying to develop a really creative design for one of them and I haven't decided exactly what I want to do. On the other one, I'm going to have to do lettering and I've never painted lettering before, so that could get interesting. That one is pretty plain vanilla though, so it shouldn't take me long once I get started. I might even get to it this week sometime. We shall see.

OK....who in their right mind downloads a "duck call" ringtone and turns it up full blast and lets it go off at work all day long? Who, I ask you?
