I love watching things start to grow and bloom! I've been examining every plant that was put in the ground last year, and here is the report:Only 3 of the 4 hydrangias are showing life.

While slacking at home, Andrew and I went out and took some pictures of the white fluffy stuff.

She's a pretty good size normally, being a tall and long cat, but she has put on a pound or two recently. We didn't really notice it until someone else said something, but now it is pretty obvious.

THE IVY HAS TO GO! At the beginning of April, we had a front yard full of English Ivy. It was everywhere!

Ok, a jog... with a lot of walking. When we were running by 19th and Alabama, a large black man hung out of his car to tell me that I had a nice booty after calling me "Lollipop". I will admit that I am a silly white girl, and I have no idea what he meant by "Lollipop", nor do I want to know.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09476442309035189008noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178902.post-19276458363010615142008-03-06T13:31:00.003-05:002008-03-06T13:34:30.202-05:00I hate gravity!Why is it, that even though I feel like I've gotten poison ivy over a sever sunburn over most of my body, that I feel guilty for calling in sick to work? Never mind the fact that I'm still working, and I'm probably getting more done at home than I would in the office.

This means not needing to scrape ice and snow off my car in the mornings. But this does not help when the freezing rain, sleet and snow fly while I'm at work. With the new car, I haven't gotten a scraper. Luckily for me, someone at work lent me one after scraping half of my car with a credit card.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09476442309035189008noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178902.post-4111253872759825152007-12-27T07:34:00.001-05:002007-12-27T07:35:32.805-05:00Something to Think AboutWhile driving 38 mph in a 35 mph speed zone on my way home from work late one night, a jay-walking pedestrian yelled at me to slow down.

Like any other number I don't recognize, I would let it go to voice mail, but they never left one. The other night, (during my night time minutes of course!), they called and I answered.

I've noticed this week that when I get to work (between 7:45am and 8:00am), there have been significantly more people in the parking lot than there was last week, before we rolled our clocks back. I've also noticed that there are less cars when I leave than there were last week.

I rode for awhile when I was much younger, and I have now re-discovered it. I recently (at the beginning of the summer) changed barns and love it. In the past, I had only ridden at Hunter/Jumper barns, but this one is an Eventing Barn.

I love seeing people I haven't seen in a while, watching the ceremony (usually crying), and dancing the night away. One thing I do not like about weddings is that I can't make it through one without at least 3 people commenting that I'm not married or engaged. There are always comments about my left hand being empty. I don't understand the point of these comments.

I decided to let him sleep in there all day and keep Chica company. When he still wasn't up by 7 pm, my roommate decided to squirt him with water. He didn't move, it just made him wet.

I spent the day patching cracked plaster and taping of the trim in preparation for painting.

Then when Andrew and I combined two 2-bedroom apartments, in to one 2-bedroom apartment, things were pretty out of control. Now, in a 3 bedroom house, things feel a bit empty.
