Get Back Honky Cat

Well, good news!! The garden has sprouted! I think I need to transplant some of my green beans and peas because I never expected all of them to sprout and they are getting totally crazy. CLRG is probably going to build me another garden soon. I certainly have enough seeds to grow more things, and it would give me room to expand this bean operation. Haha. I am anxious about the lettuce situation. Only one of the four spots I planted seeds has sprouted. I hope something else pokes up pretty soon.

I can't wait to harvest my veggies!!!!

You Belong Among the Wildflowers

Here is a list of what we planted in our square foot garden:

-tomatoes
-green peppers
-hot peppers
-green beans
-sugar snap peas
-lettuce
-carrots
-basil
-cilantro

I am very anxious for something to sprout. It is taking a lot for me to not sit out there and stare at the dirt.

Perfect Jumping Off Point

Things I want to begin doing more of:

-baking

I sort of want to start a new blog to record these new ventures. What do you think? Worth it?

Say Whatever You Want Cause I Can Laugh it Off

I am not really satisfied with anything I write here today. Grr. I hate that. This entry will probably be super random, but I need to write more, so here we go:

I saw K for lunch yesterday. We had a good time, and then we went to Lowe's. I bought a tomato plant (roma!) and I was trying to think of an Italian name for it. I thought of Valentino or Romeo, but my dad suggested Silvio and I think that is very suitable, so I think that is the name. I went to Target after Lowe's and got a few new shirts for work. I can't be wearing sweaters in the summer, you know? I guess it might not matter b/c it is sometimes freezing in my office and I actually have to turn on the space heater, but whatever.

I read a really good book last week. It was called The Amazing Interlude and was written by Mary Roberts Rinehart. I found out that the author was born on the North Side of Pittsburgh, before it became part of Pittsburgh and was still Allegheny. The book was wonderful. It was about a young woman, Sara Lee Kennedy, who decides that she needs to go to Europe and see if she can start a soup kitchen during World War I. Her fiance doesn't want her to go, but she defies him and goes anyway. So it's mainly about her experience in Europe, but there are a lot of great characters and interactions and I liked it a lot.

I found out that the author is best known for her mystery writing and have downloaded a few of those to my Kindle so that I may read some of her other things. I'm really excited!!

CLRG is working today so I am home alone with the cats. I need to go do laundry and clean up a bit. I want to make strawberry shortcakes as well. Mmm. I also want to get some reading done. I am reading Little Lord Fauntleroy right now and it's been good so far.
