Considering the fact that my last entry was about hopes for our vegetable garden that is almost finished now, I guess it has been awhile since I've wrote. I am not sure why I have been quiet on the journaling... I guess life has just gotten busy. And now it has been so long, I feel sort of rusty. For the record, our beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers ( Read more... )

The boy and I went to the nursery yesterday to pick out seeds for this year's container garden. A lot of it is still experimenting, but we both enjoyed it enough last year to think it'd be worth trying again. We have limited space on his two patios, but I think we can fit most of it somewhere. :) I'll try and keep things updated on here on our ( Read more... )

Last night was the start of season 5 of LOST, so the boy and I made a night of watching the premiere. For dinner, I made sweet & sour pork (& squeed when Miles brought the boar out of the jungle). Dessert was orange Dharma fish biscuits (well, sugar cookies with food dye) & sherbert.

I have still not paid off all my credit card balance (from tax/computer stuffs early this year), and by limiting myself it forces ( Read more... )

Our kickball had our first game last night. To make matters worse we lost to a bunch of drunk douche bags ( Read more... )

Our kickball team had our first game last night, and we won. It was alot more fun than I even thought it would be - releasing my inner kid. I even got to run home once. My teammates (none of whom I knew before last night, except the boy) were all pretty nice too. And we learned of an awesome bonus for winning teams - a free pitcher of beer after ( Read more... )

The LA show is sold out. I should have known - Beck is popular enough. Sadness. I am currently bidding on some tickets on EBay, but I think my max bid will be destroyed soon enough, the tickets are too good.

Spoon/MGMT/Beck are also playing at Street Scene the day earlier - maybe I'll go to that. But I wanted an excuse to go to LA for a weekend! ( Read more... )
