The week is just flying by, it's odd, I feel like time goes by much faster as an adult than it seemed to go when I was younger. It felt like days lasted forever when i was in high school and now it seems like a month is over before one even knows ( Read more... )

For those who don't know, I've fallen into Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs pretty hard and have lately been obsessing about various oils. And of course since I am an awful person, most of the ones I want seem to be hard to find lol I've gotten lucky with a few and now own some bottles i love as well as back-ups of some of my favorites. I'm waiting ( Read more... )

First... Happy Birthday to kellyhimeSecond.. Basara 11+12 were finally subbed and I am not sure which attack filled me with more glee, Date's "War Dance" or Sanada's "Wings of Suzaku" Also Koujirou x Akechi would be so hot. XD ( Read more... )

GAH! One of the lectures I most wanted to go to is at 11 and there is no way I can get to the Botanical Garden by 11 when I don't even know where my Mom is, but urban chickens ;;_;; Maybe when they do programs at the end of the summer they will offer it again. But let's see there is still a talk on canning, free food samples, and I can maybe ( Read more... )

Ganked from many people on my flist...

Also ganked from lots of people on my flist...

The bagels turned out surprisingly good, though I think next time I need to bake them longer to make the outside crisper. The inside had the right texture though which is a major accomplishment. I also baked some cookies.. because I needed cookies ( Read more... )

Most of the seeds I am soaking are starting to sprout. The problem, I didn't write down what everything was because I thought I would remember and now I've not. I know the dish that is not sprouting has to be Peppers, Eggplant, or more Tomatoes, but which of the 3.... Hopefully I can make some of them sprout because once I get seedlings I am ( Read more... )

and we had a lovely time. I got to see quite a few old friends and enjoyed the fact that Oberlin has really upgraded its dinning options. It's not NYC or SF, but way cheaper than both and now there are actual real restaurants. The dinning service catered food still needs improvements despite a new company interested in local produce taking over ( Read more... )

So Far BPALs Planting Moon is a complete bust. I think it is the Geranium, and of course I bought 2 bottles of it which I now need to trade or sell. I'm incredibly impressed with actual plants now. Last year we had two shrubby bushes pulled out from the front of the yard and the whole area re-done. I felt bad to think I was going to lose the 4 ( Read more... )

Since the weather had improved I finally got out and planted some seeds in the vegetable garden. I really wanted to work on the sides of the house but we're still having some construction done and I would hate to lose any seeds I've planted. The soil has also been packed down into a hard nasty mess and I know it will hurt my back to try and dig ( Read more... )
