Day 3: The Danger of Shuffle

So today was a pretty much a mop up operation of the front/visible lawn etc... Our battle had been more or less successful in the garden and we were just tidying up what was left that the neighbors could see.  It would have been the easiest day by far except... oh that's right we have a bunch of freaking trees in our yard... I know, I know, "stop whining trees are easy to prune, that should be quick and painless."  But wait there's more (there always is in my family/life)!!!
We... excuse me I (ok my brothers helped with the first one) had to remove 8 trees.  And we're not talking baby saplings or anything these are full blown Thuja occidentalis! Ok first of all, I don't understand why the tree would ever be named something like Thuja occidentalis basically just means Western Tree... if it is just a western tree then why do we even need it's own special name?  If for some reason we do need a specific name then why not just call it The Western Tree?
Ok so to remove a tree there are basically two ways you can start going about it you could either
a) Make it a Stump - This is when you basically just  cut off the aboveground parts of the tree. If you really wanna do a good job you'll use a special dealio to seal the tree up so it literally can't grow anymore.

b) Remove the entire tree stump and all -this is basically when you spend numerous hours of intense labor trying to get the whole damn root out.  Seems simple enough right?

 Guess which method I had to do...

So I literally climbed a bunch of trees and pulled them down to the ground and yanked on the trunk until it was loose enough to pitchfork out.
Yeah it was rough... and then afterward I had to dig new holes for the new trees... I felt like I was at Camp Green Lake (and the first person that can tell me what book that's from will get a free "Chat 'O Sass").

The best part of the day though was when I had music coming out my butt (via my amazing phone) and was singing loudly for the world to see.  I really need to actually meet my neighbors sometime there are 4 kids my age (I think) 2 of them are total skateboard punks and the other two are like orthodox Jews but I've never actually talked to them or introduced myself I'm always busy slaving and sweating away. I dunno it would just feel awkward to meet them then. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way/place to meet people?  Leave it in the comments or something or email me and we'll make a post bout that later.
Ok finally to the point of our title.  While I had this music coming out my buttocks it was on random because lets face it, listening to the same songs over and over again is boring now matter how good they are.  Right as the two punk 'boarders come down the street to their house my butt puts out "Won't Say I'm In Love"  by the pussy cat dolls.  Both girls just started snickering and kept going... Really..? How am I that unlucky... First of all while the original Disney version is pretty awesome, listening to a bunch of pop divas sing it is just... typical.  That is why you must always beware of shuffle mode on music players... that or get rid of the little children that mess with your phone and/or music... *sigh. If anyone has ideas... or wants to buy them? People tell me they're cute...
