Okay, I swore I wouldn't do two things this year...and one I swore NEVER AGAIN!!! Okay, one is a garden. I SWORE last year that I wouldn't attempt a garden this year. I figured it would be cheaper for me to buy the stuff. Okay, last year I shelled out $$ for manure (aged of course!) I wanted to start with a decent base. I bought just the right number of assorted vegetable plants. I planted them according to instruction...and yet, with all of that...everything died. Okay, wait...I did get some muselix from seed...but, I wasn't sure if it was all lettuce or if a poisonous weed was mixed in...so nix that! I got these mini mini peas. I don't think Barbie could have used them. And, I did have a tiny bit of success with my tomatoes. I planted several variety. The big ones bombed badly. The grape tomatoes grew. They were yellow. So, I paid in the n'hood of between $50 and $100 for several small containers of grape tomatoes! Hmmmm. Something not right with that picture! So, at the end of the summer...I SWORE NEVER AGAIN!!! Did I tell you that I'm thinking of planting a garden this year! LOL! I know, save yourself the time...I've had all the tips. I've followed some...it's the soil, it's the sun, it's the plant...oh, wait...ME? nah, couldn't be. I love my garden.
Second. Yard Sales. When that garage door rolled down last year (or maybe it was the year before, I can't remember) I SWORE I would NEVER, EVER, ever, ever have another yard sale. I never have a stand alone one...it's always with the n'hood. Anyway, I swore my time away was more valuable. It was cold and rainy and no one came in our garage except a kid collecting for the newspaper ad?<>X@)! Well, we do have a whole basement of stuff people would be interested in, and the economy is just right for yard sales, and uh, did I mention I said I would never do a yard sale. I bought stickers to actually price things. I am not a yard sale person. The amount of time to price stuff equals exactly the amount of time that I'd rather be doing something (anything) else. Please, knock some sense into me whilst there's still time!
I've been downing aspirin like there's no tomorrow. I'm probably bleeding internally! LOL! I think I pulled my hamstring muscle while running.
I've been working on my bag of golden delicious apples that I've had since December. I bought like 3 bushels of seconds. They are truly delish. I'm down to the last 10 or so. I just took a bite of one, that's why I mentioned it. My thought, while seemingly random, do have a succession.
Jonathan is going to Honduras on a missions trip this summer. I'm constantly amazed by his enthusiasm to get involved in so many great things. He's a great kid. I can't believe he will be a senior next year. Gunk. That's the sound of that apple getting stuck in my stomach with that little nugget of reality!
Enjoy the great weather...I guess I will be working in my garden...hahahahahahahaha! Actually, I would...but, I'm waiting...you know that rule about after Mother's Day...frost, etc...
