I feel like I’ve got nothing much to say that’s very entertaining and yet I have the compulsion to blog and babble.
I got a really fabulous unexpected visit from my daughter Thursday night. I was just getting to the point where I was moping about missing her and then there she is.
She’s been gone for a month already, but now, just 6 weeks and she will be back.
It finally cooled down enough today to get the lawn mowed. It’s been 100 degrees or close to it for days and days and I just can’t get out in the heat and humidity and do yard work when it’s that hot. I am used to northern summer weather and this weather kills me. But we had a beautiful day and evening too. I read outside until I couldn’t see the pages anymore.
I finished Janet Evanovich’s Finger Lickin’ Fifteen in a day and a half. But only because I took breaks to go to the farmer’s market, take the recycling in and mow the lawn. It was certainly enjoyable, but I’m kinda wishing the characters would yanno, grow, move, change, do something new. And, would just one more night with Ranger be too much to ask? This constant sexual tension with no relief, book after book after book is getting frustrating. Or maybe it’s just me, maybe I just need to get laid. lol
I got three new herbs from the herb vendor at the market. This is their last weekend, so if i kill the cilantro again, I guess we are SOL. We planed the cilantro in a small pot with no holes in the bottom cuz it was all I had left at the time. Then we got rain rain rain and the cilantro drowned.
I got a new rosemary plant also, because in spite of being absolutely sure I planted the last one out in the herb garden in the yard, it has mysteriously disappeared. I think the moles must have needed it. The third plant was another sage plant, just because it’s different than the one I already have and they were 3 for $5.
We also stopped in at Penzey’s and got a couple jars of completely unnecessary, but wonderful smelling spice blends. I am not even entirely sure what I am going to do with them yet.
The first tomato came off the vine today, although I think it was a day or too early. Someone got antsy and picked it off. We’ve got 6 tomato plants this year and they are all growing HUGE. Two roma plants and 4 grape tomato plants. But the roma tomatoes are looking like regular size tomatoes and the grapes are looking roma sized! I don’t know what went into the compost this year but it’s producing some giant veggies!
I suppose I really should get into the shower. I am all sweaty from working out for the first time in like…fricken months…honestly it’s been so long I don’t remember the last time. All I know is I did 20 ab crunches (in addition to a bunch of other shit) and my stomach actually cramped up. How SAD is that? It’s pathetic!
7am is going to be a bitch tomorrow. I took some time off from work last week since the kid was visiting and I had to bargain to get it. As a result, I am going in early, 7:45 am instead of my usual 9:30 am, all next week and part of the following week.
*groans and cries and whines*
I am the worst morning person EVER! The only person on the planet I would do this for is my daughter.
