I can not quite put my green thumb on what it is, but there is something very satisfying about gardening. My dad has gardened forever, and I always tried to help. Lucky me, some of all that practice paid off 🙂 Currently I'm successful at getting some seeds started! I am trying to be patient… Continue reading Dirt lover

Will it ever charge?That's Patrick next to my early birthday present - a very slick electric blue ipod mini! It's very cool, although it seemed to take forever to charge up!

We're very excited about having people come and visit - his parents were here for the move, my parents will be here tomorrow, we've got friends coming… Continue reading Slowly Unpacking

I'm not 100% thrilled with the face, but overall it's really cute.Other news - possibly,… Continue reading Knitting and Puppies

I'm still getting mail bounced back to me when I try to send a photo to mobile blogger - anyone else? I'm frustrated.In other annoyances, why is it that each time I'm at Wal-Mart I'm approached for help? I don't work there!! Our WalMart is tiny. Not nearly the sprawlmart it could be. I don't… Continue reading Lose-Lose-Win

What's the deal with sending photos from… Continue reading Coming Down with Something
