Life...

Hola Blog-readers:

So I know that i only write on my blog sporadically, but i am going to try to be better, so i am going to commit to writing once a week, which is huge for me because i don't do well with commitments.

So as i type there is a huge storm going on outside, it's pouring and there is lost of thunder and lightning, which i think makes for excellent writing conditions. I love to write and read when it storms because it inspires me, it also always makes me think of Moby-Dick, which is a book that should be read during a storm, but it would have to be a strong storm since the book is very long.

Not much to report on my life, still enjoying my job, although today i look into going into the peacecorps. It seems like that would be a great adventure and additionally, they help cancel school loans, which is what lead me there. This is not the first time i considered going into the peacecorp, i thought about it right after college, but decided to go to grad school instead...that was a dumb choice, but not use complaining about things you can't change...

Have stopped working on my attempted novel because i am so busy and lazy and my excellent rationalizing and procrastinating skills do a good job of preventing me from doing anything that requires effort, this really sucks, because you work so hard to attain rationalisation skills and then you rationalize yourself into a pretty dull life, however that is all changing i have come up with a schedule, which i hope i will keep, in order to actually do the things i set out to do. It starts tomorrow with waking up early exercising and getting a little gardening in...

Oh yes, the one good thing about this weather is that the rain does marvelous things for the soil and it really boost your plants, we don't have much planted yet, but we are starting some plants and our trees from last year are look beautifully healthy...let's hope no tornadoes hit and bash our gardening dreams.

I will see you all within the week, stay tuned :) Toodles loves!

Last Day of April

So last day of April...Good day to blog...Dont really have much in the way of news, to share with you...

But i did read a new book by Gordon Korman called Pop. It is a good book. I love GORDON KORMAN. He is my favorite Children's writer. This book is about a kid who plays football who becomes friends with an ex-NFL player, only in the beginning the kid doesn't know the guy is an NFL player and he thinks the guy is kind of weird but really he is just sick (mentally), it's really a good story...i recommend it, it's a good read.

The garden is also progressing...we've planted the potatoes and they sprouted, the tomatoes were very small and not growing so we bought bigger plants and planted them...the cabbage has sprouted...Spinach has sprouted...planted bush beans but they have not sprouted...the onions are doing spectacularly well, growing big and fast...the celery sprouted but it is still very small...the rose bushes are all planted and the trees, they seem to be doing well. all in all the garden seems to be working out.

I am a little distressed about some financial difficulties i am having, but everyone seems to be going through that...i'm not sure what to do...feel kind of helpless...nothing much more to be said...just a bit of advice for everyone... DONT GET CREDIT CARDS....they are the devil...i got a bunch in college and i used them when i ran out of student loans and now i am having lots of trouble paying them off...it's terrible, especially if you make little to no money.

On a lighter note...we seem to have acquired a cat. She is so cute, small, white with gray and orange spots, she is adorable...the only bad thing is that she seems to think our garden is her littler box so we have to constantly watch her so she doesnt desecrate our plants...but she's th e cutest.

I feel like i really need a vacation...to go someplace far away and forget all my worries for a while...or just a day to do nothing would be nice too. But anyway, May is coming soon and we must prepare for all the things that will bring :)

New Gardening Blog with Sister

Hey,

So i haven't blogged in a while, but i do want to take this time to say hi and that i havw another blog. Yes! It is a blog that I am doing with my sister about our first experience gardening. That's right, we are going to garden for the first time this year. We are going to grow fruits, vegetables, hers and flowers. So far we've learned a wholoe lot which was easing seeing as we knew nothing. But anyway, if you want to know more about that please follow our blog it is: vaneverogarden.blogspot.com. Yeah, so look us up to learn about gardening as we learn from our mistakes or gives us advice if you are a seasoned gardener or just read hang with us. All right.

Now back to this my personal blog....

Well I'm not sure what to write about. I have started my new office and I am so far alone because we've yet to hire a receptionist. I have organized. Can't really say much about it...

I have listened to Lady Gaga because everyone else seems to love her, she can sing but she is such a freak that i cannot bring myself to like her, does anyone else feel that way?

Let's see...health care reform bill passed, not sure what the implication of that are for everyday people so i cant really comment except to say that I am very confused as to how the mandatory insurance clause is going to work.

Not much of interest has happened or i cant remember, but i promise to blog on a more regular basis...TTFN
