Garden Salad

I came back to all sorts of green goodness in the garden, thanks to the mom and dad for watering every day while I was gone. Now the lettuce is about to bolt (that's when it grows up real high and looks like a Christmas tree and gets ready to seed), the mustard greens have gone and flowered, the apples are no more mere blossoms but actually look like tiny baby apples, there are thousands of green plums a growin', beans climbing, flowers bursting and so much more. It's very pleasant back there with all the great growing things and the company of my chickens and bunny.

Picture time!

I am jealous. Our garden is pretty lame b/c our yard is so shady. We did use the lettuce to make a salad the other day but it is little and also pretty acidic (probably a bad choice of lettuce seed, not just poor growth). The zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes are a bust. Anyway, you are so hardcore these days with your intense yoga and your somewhat sustainable mini-farm!

p.s., can I borrow a pic of your bunny for a t-shirt idea? a nice portrait shot would do the trick :-).

"borrow" away. Post pics :)

Ya, it's a good life. The lawn needs some work but I'm liking the garden. Although, a nice husband and a pretty baby would be a good trade, I think.

It's funny, the yoga part taught me something about fasting. That inner voice always tells me I don't need to do it. Yesterday I did it. That voice tried to talk me out of it, but I remembered just holding poses forever and fighting with my mind about it and finally just surrendering. It was the same with fasting. I just found the determination and conquered my mind for a little while. And you know sacrifice really does bring blessings, more than just the blessing of overcoming your own mind.

Playing house

I have no idea how I got here. I spent so much time dating and being single and going through boyfriends and now here I am -- in my late 30's, married and with a baby on the way. Sometimes it doesn't feel real, like I'm playing house. Last night my husband and I ordered nursery furniture from Pottery Barn. We made a list of things we still need to get from Amazon and discussed the credit cards with the best points to put it on for travel miles and cash back bonuses. We have 401k's and a savings account and talk about stock investments. You'd think, at almost 40, I would feel like a responsible adult and this would all feel normal right now. It does not. Any moment I wonder when I'm going to wake up. There were times I thought maybe I'll never get married. I wondered if I'd be able to have children -- or get the chance to even try. This baby, so far, seems so healthy and so far I've felt healthy throughout the pregnancy. I'm blessed with go

Don't Touch My Junk

I am appalled that so many in my generation are ready and willing to roll over and be sexually assaulted (and let their children be sexually assaulted), give up their rights to privacy and ignore their rights as stated in the 4th Amendment all in the name of supposed security at airports. This new TSA measure is outrageous and ineffective. I did not always feel this way. Like so many others, I didn't see the big deal. However, on more careful examination of the 4th Amendment as well as the many, many assaults that have already taken place, and along with an understanding of the measures we really should be taking to ensure our safety, I have changed my mind. This video is of a man who recorded his experience going through TSA. He asked the TSA agent not to "touch his junk". That's when the TSA agent put him on the no fly list and asked him to step out of line. After questioning he then tried to leave the airport but was told he had to go through the entire procedu
