-Gardening. How does our garden grow? Great! Unfortunately at this moment I am too lazy to put up pictures, but everything we planted is growing! We even have a bell pepper the size of a pea right now. We planted romaine, arugula, peas, green beans, squash, bell peppers, jalepenos, broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, shallots, garlic, potatoes, carrots. I also just planted some leeks and herbs this weekend (dill, parsley, oregano and chives). A big thanks to Charlie's cousin who gave us most of the seeds to plant. Charlie made raised beds out of cedar, and we made trellises last weekend because the peas and beans are already getting pretty tall. This is our first gardening adventure so hopefully everything makes it to harvest, but so far so good!
-Writing. Sigh. It is good that I am spending this much time writing my dissertation (I plan on defending in spring), because I dislike writing just as much as ever. And, I am still quite slow at it, that is if I'm writing well, and I still change what I'm going to say a million times. And did I mention that I don't really like it? Actually one of the reasons I started this blog was to like spending time writing, but really this does not translate at all into dissertation writing. Blog=fun, dissertation=fun part is over. double sigh.
-Job searching. I am also spending some time working on job searching skills, as at 28 years old I haven't really had jobs that have required that...Mainly I want to find a part-time job so that I have something to do besides write. Plus, right now while I am technically a student, at 28 I'd like bring home some veggie bacon at least! And if it lead to a full time job after I graduated, that would be excellent. Anyone hiring out there?
-Cats.Not really an update, though I think spending all day with the cats is making me a little nutty. We are trying with limited success to toilet train them, I still have dreams of not having to clean the litter box. The training process is pretty intense though.
-High school. My high school reunion was this weekend. I didn't actually go to it, but I can't believe it's been 10 years since high school! It is pretty crazy that I have been in school almost that entire time. Because I am lazy, I am posting this picture that was on my computer. It was the band seniors from 2000, the year I graduated. I spent lots of my time back then with the band and guard, although very few of the color guard were actually seniors when I was.
-Fun stuff! My birthday is in 2 weeks. Eek! Almost 29. In 3 1/2 weeks, we head to Hawaii. Aloha!
