Life and stuff
So it's been a while since I last posted. Facebutt is still eating up my internet time. I need to get better about using LJ, since Jayson got me that permanent account years ago for a present.
So, this summer I had a little garden. The only thing I really managed to grow was watermelons but they were amazing! In taste anyway, in size not so much. Super yummy. The corn didn't do so well, we waited too long to transplant it out of the pots we started it in, so they were all short and stunted, and we only got three tiny little ears, nothing worth eating. Good practice though. Next year maybe I'll try tomatoes. Those I can grow in a pot.
It's finally cooled off enough that we can turn off the A/C!! Yay!! And I'm not turning it back on even if we get another heat wave. Our power bill needs to go down not up. Equinox this weekend and a full harvest corn moon next weekend. I need to get with some pagan people and do something.
A few months back Jayson hit a deer on the way to work. Two actually. They ran into him rather. He managed to avoid the first one and then the second one smacked right into the side of the car, took off the mirror, the door handle on the driver's door, cracked every panel on that side of the car, broke the rear door handle, dented the gas cover thingie, and tore the rear bumper loose. But the car still drives. YAY!! This is good b/c our car is a 99 Saturn that gets better mileage than a lot of newer cars and we really can't afford a new car. Especially since our insurance declared it totalled, as it was deemed worth less than 2k.
The boys are all bouncy and healthy, and frequently drive me up the wall. It's nice when they are playing with each other nicely and not fighting though. Seth is talking better, and more. Duo is very into dinosaurs bones and bugs, and natural science in general.
Also we have recently discovered Duo likes to wash the dishes!! Hooray and hallelujah! He does a pretty good job at it too, though I won't let him wash the glasses. They have a tendency to break even when me or Jayson is washing them sometimes. He's seven now and he is in LURV with the oldest daughter of a good friend of mine, who blogs over on blogspot under the name battlemom, four vs Mom. Yeah, she's got four. I've been pregnant every other time she has been. We have been helping her move a bit. They got a new place (which they needed badly) and since her SO is a trucker, he is not in town to help as much as she needed, so Jayson got drafted volunteered. So she has four kids age seven and under, plus five dogs including two Briard puppies, and three cats, two of which are half grown kittens. So yeah, it was crazy. Especially since she was trying to get moved largely by herself, and her kids kept unpacking everything behind her back. So she has been seriously stressed out. I offered to take all the kids but the baby (still nursing) next Saturday, so she could have some time to herself. I'll probably be wanting a stiff drink by the end of the day and I don't even drink!
We are also in the process of house hunting. Sorta. I'm looking at a few places but we don't know if we have credit where we can buy anything. Ya know, b/c we aren't in debt up to our eyeballs. Makes NO sense.
That's all I can think of right now. I have been reading people's journals, and even commenting sometimes (mostly lurking though), I just haven't been posting. I'm going to try and do better about that, really.
