Thanks, A LOT Renee-now I have something new to freak out about.

I'm on a Mission From God

The Mission? To go here.

The Reason? To drink one of these:

Spore Report

In my interest in getting started with my garden I, as I believe I mentioned before, spent a whopping $90 on seeds and seeds supplies last week.

One of those supplies consisted of two little seed peat pots designed for kids. I purchased a sunflower and a pumpkin. I'm trying to indoctrinate Tilda into being a gardener.

She's very excited by them. We look at them every day, water them and they sit on her windowsill. At night, we say "'Night, 'night pumpkin. 'Night, 'night flower."

But here's the thing-the seeds were purchased on Saturday, February 17th and planted on February 19th. As you can see, they are huge! They sprouted within 48 hours. I have never seen anything like it before. They are mutants!

Seriously, its like they were fed some sort of growth hormone. They are nearing 2 inches in height already!

Thus, my next endeavor will be to get Tilda to call the pumpkin "Roger" and the sunflower "Clemens."

Oh, I'm bad.

May God Strike You Down Mr. Jobs

Of course, within 1 FRIGGIN' week of buying my new shuffle (after washing my old one), they lowered the price by $25.

Spring-the Foul Temptress

On Monday it was 75 degrees, Tuesday 45 and windy, and today, it snowed. The seasons are *?%@ing with me again.

The weather this weekend was so pleasant that I realized that it was time for me to buy seeds for my garden. I spent (gulp) $90 on seeds and seed supplies.

I gradually letting myself get excited about my garden again. 2007 was so disappointing that I stopped even wanting to go out back and look at it. Drought, squash beetles, poor yields-they all conspired against me to make me sad.

But the cold weather has me thinking more and more about warm weather and I have been planning my garden. I'm venturing into the world of flowers for the first time, mainly because I can't get the grass in my yard to grow right. Or even. So I'm planning a medieval style garden with raised beds and flowers intermingled with veggies. I've already started most of my seeds and some have already sprouted. Yay me!

I just reread my post and realized it was a whole lotta boring. Sorry.

I love Ancestry.com

Runnin' Rhino

So this shirt reminded me of me this week. Thanks a lot, Threadless.

I've been working my butt off at the gym and this week, since we had the lovely variation of an ice storm on Friday morning to 65 degree weather by Sunday, I took my running outside. I played with my new running gadget, my Garmin Forerunner. It is very cool. And it makes me happy.

Unfortunately, I am one of those people that exercise doesn't count unless I can quantify it. It's not because I am anal, but I have noticed that I tend to overestimate any exercise when I don't keep track of it. So quantifying stuff keeps me honest.

I still have not lost any weight since this weightlossevil began. In fact, I still have those 2 lbs that I gained. But I have lost 1 1/2 inches overall (arms, stomach, legs, etc...). The only exception is that my calves have apparently expanded a bit. But they seem less wobbly and more muscular, so I am happy with that. Overall, can't complain.

And since Michael keeps "offering" to improve my running by chasing me down with a car, I have slightly more incentive to keep it up, despite the lack of diminishing poundage. 'Cause you never know when that boy is going to snap.
