I spent $25 at Walmart. Still cheaper than Sears and whatnot. And we're all looking in the vicinity of the camera, eyes are all open, hair's not flying, no one's crying, etc. Probably not the most flattering for me (y…
The keys. I have a little basket on top of a bookcase in the kitchen that I put my wallet, checkbooks and keys in. And 90% of the time they're there, or in the diaper bag or on the dining table or kitchen peninsula (se…
Dh found my keys. I'm an idiot. Anybody know how or want to guess how long it'll take me to pick 10-12 pounds of strawberries tomorrow morning? I'm going here while strawberries are still ripe and around so I can make…
Unbefuckinlievable. My keys are gone. Not in the garden. Not in the garbage. Not on the dining table where I last remember them being. Not in the toy box. Not in either bathroom. Not in my diaper bag or gym bag. …
I'm so not exciting right now. Well, in one way I suppose, but that's not info for the general public. Oh, unless you count that I have almost 200 pole bean seedlings... Last week while my sister was here, I bought so…
I'm already planning next year's garden. It's a sickness.
Holy bean sprouts. This morning when I watered, there were maybe six (in addition to the dozen or so bigger ones [started them a few weeks ago] that are my row markers). This evening/late afternoon I counted 70 sprouts…
My pelvis hurts again. Oy. Nobody ever warned me about this before I went and got knocked up. At least shoveling and raking is a good workout.Last night the hubby and I dug up more weeds and screened more dirt. After…
The younger one can take off his pants and then take off his diaper that we put on backwards (i.e. aplix is on his butt). It's not amusing. So, now I've been looking for 12-18mo onesies. You know, little t-shirts with…
Mommy pile. Curtains are great fun. I mulched the whole thing. Three wheelbarrows full of bark.One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just isn't the same...Mulched onions. And chives. And mar…
I am now lusting over aprons. I think dh'll need to call the men in white coats soon. But in my own defense, at least I don't want a housecoat like what both my grandmothers wore. This one is so pretty, but at that p…
We went out to dinner tonight. Belated 5th anniversary thing. Without kids. It was nice. And my clothes? Pre-pregnancy!!! From like 4.5 years ago!Okay, yeah, my nursing boobs are trying to break free and I still ha…
Reminder to myself...Ask Susie about pomona pectin/her recipe and cold frames.
Yesterday. Raspberries. They look civilized now.Today. Three kinds of potatoes, marigolds (in the border stones), pole beans, lincoln peas.Before I covered and watered the seeds.We know how to get dirty. Seriously. …
Little guy isn't walking so drunkenly anymore. He's thisclose to being able to outrun me.Planted little zucchini plants and cucumber plants out front. Waiting for more to sprout up from my "starts" before I transplant …
Just a quick one...Big guy is 40.5 inches tall, and a whopping 35lbs. I knew he was getting heavy.Little guy is 30 inches tall and 20lbs.They're both nice and healthy, mostly in the middle of the growth charts (which I …
I The Tomato Lady.We stopped by her place today. Ran into her at the farmer's market over the weekend, and she told me to come by and get some more pots or they'd be headed to the dump. Okay, no problem. So. I think…
Holy thunder and lighting Batman!See that giant snakey-looking mean green blob on the right? Yeah, we're in it's way.I started driving down to the gym, and only a drop or two hit the windshield as I sat in the driveway …
Another strawberry bed has been assembled and mostly planted. Need to top it off with the rest of the strawberries that need a new home. And add compost and then mulch with straw. But dh watered it into mud yesterday …
You know that feeling from, say, after giving birth where it feels like your pelvis/uterus is falling out? Well, yeah, tmi, but I get that monthly now, it's just not as strong as when I pushed out the almost-10-pounder.…
