I don't usually do this, I consider myself to be an able bodied person, but today I hired someone to do my yard work. I am feeling a little sheepish, but it is so darn hot, I couldn't bear to think about trimming trees and shrubs, weeding, edging and mowing. After George left I was thrilled with the results and considered the money well spent. (BTW, I don't think there is anything wrong with having a gardener, I just have the time to do the yard and I enjoy doing it.)
It made me think of other things I like to hire people to do....
*Wash and vacuum my car. Nate gave my gift certificates for my birthday and I loved it!
*Waxing. Enough said. (I know I would accidentally take off half my eyebrow.)
*Pet issues. The first time I took Sadie to the vet, he offered to show me how to do anal glands. Or he said he would do it for $10. I was happy to pay the $10. I also take her in to get groomed and her claws snipped.
*Cooking. I live for take out!
*Oil changes. Not that I can do this myself, but Nate can.
*Pumping gas. I don't hire this out, I just hope Nate will do it for me! :)
*Getting my hair cut and colored. Except for those few times when I cut my own bangs and then hate myself. I've never colored my own hair, I'm too chicken.
What is it that you like to "outsource"? Be honest!
Love this Man!!!

About Me

If I had to pick one thing I like to outsource it would... I like to go out to dinner after a hard day of work!! Ü
I would totally outsource housekeeping..in fact I am hoping in a month or two to be in a good position to hire one!
To me it would be worth every penny!!!
umm pet issues... $100 wouldn't be too much to avoid the glands :)
stuff i need to outsource?
waxing (you couldn't see how bad my brows are behind my sunglasses,trust me)
grooming pets( my poor dogs and cats)
housekeeping(my husband begs me to get a job so i can get someone over here to clean)
stuff i actually outsource-
my haircuts- since my hairdressers told me to stop doing that!
cooking-i love take out too
baking-if i can buy cookies why bake?
pedicures-i am not as fancy as i like to be so i pay. a few times a year. not monthly,but i WISH!
marital relations...ha ha....jsut wanted to make you smile. =]
I would love to outsource my house cleaning but think I would feel guilty having someone else do it when I am totally capable. If I had a job I would for sure hire someone to clean for me. I would also like to hire a driver. Not a fan of driving, as you know I tend to get lost!
The biggest thing I would like to outsource is grocery shopping. I'm not a big fan of any kind of shopping, but grocery needs to be done so often, that it would be the first to go.
The biggest thing I do outsource (just started this year) is trimming and mowing the lawn.
You name it, I outsource it. Seriously (I am a single mom pratically).
Anyway, what are you doing outsourcing your hair coloring? I thought you were a pro by now since you had so much practice back in the glory days frosting my hair through that funny hat with holes and using a crochet hook.
Laundry
chauffeuring kids to and from! #1 on my list!
I am a garden gal but LOVE to hire that job out. It leaves the fun stuff for me to do - pots, veggies, trimming the roses. I am a fan of eyebrow waxing, car washing, and haircuts. I think I like coloring my own hair - it's faster, cheaper and you don't feel guilty if you don't like it...you just go get another bottle!
I'd love to outsource yardwork, cleaning and cooking- pretty sad but true. And the laundry. I guess I just need to train the kids a little better and they'll do it all.
