Friday tid-bits

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm so ready for the weekend to begin! This will be the first weekend in May that WEG and I actually get to spend together and I'm pretty excited! We don't have any set plans, but we will be working in our yard. I managed to chop down all the limbs off the azalea bushes in front of our house. Now, the base of the shrubs need to come out of the ground so that new bushes can be planted because, right now, it's an eye-sore.
I know there are many of you that probably love azaleas, but I just don't really care for them. Sure, I think they are beautiful when in bloom, but an azalea bush isn't so pretty when it's not blooming which is the majority of the year...and they are high maintenance as far as pruning goes. Plus, our azaleas were scraggly and not full. So they're going and will be replaced by boxwoods or a bush that does not flower! Any suggestions?? Our front yard is fairly shady, so we need something that doesn't need a lot of sunlight.
Anyway, that's our major plan for the weekend. Besides that I am trying to lobby for a nice dinner out to my favorite restaurant, Mr. Friendly's...yum! Check out their menu-mmmm!
In other news, I am going to get new tires today- finally! Since the PepBoys debacle, I haven't had time, but I'm leaving work early today to get it done at a local tire place. My bank account will take a nice little hit, but it has to be done!
I hope everyone has a great weekend- enjoy your long weekend if you get Monday off. I do not have it off, so I will be slaving away at work which seriously sucks. WEG has to work, as well, so I guess it could be worse!
Sorry for no pictures in this post- I didn't have anything that was complimentary to my stories!
