Usually I reserve the weekends for my garden, but what’s there to say right now? It’s growing and things look good. Oh, I also planted the top of my pineapple just to see what happens. But the real story of the weekend was our trip to Texas. There’s so much to say about our trip
I’m sitting here waiting for Chris to get out of the shower and my pie to finish baking and I have that antsy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I am ready to go! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go! I just want to go! Patience. I think I might be short on that
Chris and I are leaving for Texas tomorrow. An old friend of mine from high school lives in a small town near the Texas/Louisiana state line. When her husband announced on his facebook that he was throwing himself a crawfish boil birthday, we invited ourselves. And Anna being well, Anna, she enthusiastically agreed that we
It’s been a good week: Trying a new recipe and liking it My individual sized coffee press The promise of a mini-vacation The new post doc’s new hair cut (makes him look like this) Reading a really silly frivolous book Thursdays!

I thought when I got this calendar that I would keep every day that I tore off. I thought I would really study and maybe learn a few phrases of French. Yeah… that lasted about a month before I just tossed them as I tore them. But occasionally I come across a phrase that makes
I’ve done it again folks. I let a week slide with out writing things down on the list. So yesterday, during lab meeting, I wrote down a bunch of things hoping that I captured something from the week and not just the weekend. Kind of figuring out why my Westerns aren’t working Being so busy
Things in the garden are progressing, slowly but surely. I think birds are eating my lettuce and cantaloupes. Need to hang some sort of whirly gig to keep them away. Today I bought a bag of egg shells (it was like a buck fifty for a full sandwich sized baggy already crunched up) and sprinkled
Chris and I watching a documentary on Appalachia featuring Barbara Kingsolver: Barbara Kingsolver: There were as many shades of green as there are words in the dictionary. Me: Oh my God. She speaks the way she writes. If that had been me, I’d have said “it’s so green and purdy”. Chris: I mean it’s really
