Scuses trach and whatnot. I just don't always have things going on that I would consider blogworthy.

This weekend Ben and I did a total landscape makeover to our backyard. It looks 200% better than the non-landscaped version we had previously. I'll post pics later if I remember.

I have been leading the organization a neighborhood committee. I wrote up a nice letter, put them in everyone's mailboxes and waited for responses. I got a total of 7 houses to respond, not a ton, but enough to get things going. We held a meeting at our house on Thursday just to meet and hear ideas. Here are some of the things that were decided/talked aboot: Ben bought the domain sunsethills.org and will be working on content over the next weeks. We are going to hold a neighborhood yard sale in the next month. We are going to have regular meetings for the next few months to help get our community property issues resolved (flooding backyards, leaking basements). I was nervous about taking the lead on such a big project, but these people seem excited and willing to help and contribute so it should work out well.

The cat stroller is the talk of the neighborhood; kids think it's cute, adults think it's histerical and Jake thinks it's the bomb.

The Kentucky Derby is coming up in a couple weeks, and since neither Ben nor myself are interested in sports we'll be heading up to Indy for the Mini-Marathon. Ben is running the actual mini and I am "running" the 5K. I say "running" because I will more than likely be walking some of it. I just wasn't able to find the motivation I was looking for. You never know though, three point one miles doesn't sound that far....
