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.

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomahto

How is it that I have only just seen my first Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie? How old am I?! I went with JS to the Regent Square Theatre to see "Shall We Dance" and it. was. amazing. OMG. You must see it right now. It was so funny and I actually was already familiar with a couple of the songs. Who knew! Of course, now that I have seen the movie, it is imperative that I go roller skating.

This weekend was a good one, overall. We had Easter dinner with CLRG's family on Saturday because his mom and sister both had to work on Sunday and that went well. We hung out with the duckling during much of the afternoon. She is so darn smart, it isn't even funny. She got out this deck of cards that she has and I made up a game for us. Each card had a number and a picture of a Disney character (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Donald). I showed her a card and had her put it in the pile with the matching picture and she did such a good job. Also, and possibly even more exciting, SHE SAID MY NAME!!!!!! I was so happy. She has been saying CLRG's name for a while now and I was getting envious. Haha.

Sweet Silver Angels

This weekend I:

-sold my car
-went antiquing
-acquired a recipe box from 1940
-baked raspberry almond bread from a Joy the Baker recipe

Plus other standard house things. It was a pretty darn good weekend, I would say. What did you do?

P.S. I baked these oatmeal blueberry applesauce muffins last week (recipe also from Joy the Baker) and they were so good, I baked them a second time with strawberries instead. Ha! I win!

Perfect Jumping Off Point

Things I want to begin doing more of:

-baking
-cooking
-gardening
-writing
-organizing
-photography

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

Goon

Last night, we watched Goon and, as far as hockey movies go, it was pretty great. A lot of blood, of course, but what else would you expect? I really like Seann William Scott's stuff lately, and I especially liked him in this movie. You should see the movie he did with John C. Reilly about grocery stores. Annnnnd... Watch Goon. As long as you don't mind copious amounts of swearing and large amounts of blood. Haha. Oh! A bonus: Liev Schrieber is in it. Yup.

Hey Mambo

This evening, CLRG (I should probably call him something else someday...) and I watched a great old movie. It was "The Catered Affair" and starred awesome people like Bette Davis, Ernest Borgnine and Debbie Reynolds. It was from 1956, I believe, and you should watch it.

Earlier today, we went adventuring with his parents. We went to a delicious Italian restaurant for lunch, visited a local chocolate/candy factory, and checked out an Italian grocery store as well as the thrift store near our house. It was a really great afternoon.
