Problem: Rather than actually do anything productive with my time this evening I did apparently something I have n't done in a while . I know that it 's been a while because I actually had to type in some of the url 's to the usual places I do my online shopping . Regardless I bought myself some shoes .

What may be the reason why they have n't shopped in a while ?

A: They did n't have the money .

Problem: Black Cat , one of the neighbourhood cats that frequents my yard , just slinked up to the bird bath , stretched up and has taken an incredibly long drink . Now , it 's sitting there in the flower bed watching the birds at the feeder -- who , for some reason , are not going anywhere near the birdbath in the moment . * rolls eyes * I went to a birthday party last night and met some really cool people , had some engaging conversations , and passed out a few business cards .

Why might I have passed out business cards ?

A: Trying to network

Problem: I will admit , it was kind of fun being out there and working in the yard ... just a little overwhelming , as it looks like the previous owners did n't do a damned thing by way of yard maintenance . But , we 'll tackle it little by little , and I ' m sure it 'll be fine . I have an ongoing fantasy involving landscapers coming in and bulldozing the entire front portion of our yard , grading it flat , and then putting in some kind of gazebo or rock garden of some kind . Someday , I ' m sure .

What may be the reason I found it fun to work in the yard ?

A:
We just bought the place and it 's fun to work in your very own yard .
