Pot

Today I tried something new: repotting plants. Repotting is when you take a seedling and move it to a bigger pot, while getting fresh soil everywhere except in the new pot. Turns out I'm pretty good at this method! Hopefully these little guys will keep growing. For good measure, I stuck a Miracle-Gro stick in each one. I want me some cilantro NOW!

My plants do not look happy about the move, however. That's cilantro on the right and chives on the left. I would love to add some mint, or perhaps dill.



At what point do I move them to bigger pots? I don't want them to get all tenement on me and have the roots mushed up against the sides. We will just have to wait and see them get bigger then figure it out!

Moving on...

Recently I was introduced to the joys of commuting. I don't count five years ago when I had a 25 minute commute, because it was weird hours so it wasn't rush hour.

Nowadays, I have to drive during rush hour 50 minutes or so, across the only bridge that goes to where I need to go. I find myself running out of work at 5 on the dot to get to the bridge before the worst of it. Then today, I left 10 minutes late, and had no problems and got home the same time I usually do. The world is a funny place, isn't it?

Still beats unemployment, though.

Krispy Kopycat

Psh. I SO investigated this already.

Read my investigation here: my investigation.

In other news: I got a job! Yay me!! The long scourge of unemployment has ended! So what this means to you, dear reader (and I do mean "reader"), is that I will either have A) a plethora of new material; or B) no time to come up with new material.

It's going to be so exciting finding out which one happens!

Birds Birds Birds

Our bag of Lay's Sour Cream 'n Onion potato chips had this perfect specimen:


A perfect chip with a hole in the shape of a duck with a mullet. A mullet! The king of all hairstyles!

And yet another bird visitation. What is with all the birds lately?



However, it's definitly better than last year's termite infestation.
