I finished burning all the DVDs for Alan’s paintball buddies. I even made labels for them. It’s such a good feeling once I’ve printed the labels and put them onto the DVD. It’s such a sense of accomplishment. I’ve finished something. Yay!

I’ve decided I want to do some gardening. Last night I had sketched ideas out of what I wanted our garden to look like. So we went to Home Depot where I was determined to buy seed. I’ve gotten it in my head that I want a vegetable garden. It’s quite silly actually. Alan doesn’t like vegetables, I don’t like being in the sun–I burn easily, I have allergies, and I am terrible with plants. I kill everything. I’ve killed hoards of houseplants. Alan repeatedly tells me to buy fake plants but I keep plugging away hoping that miraculously I’ll have a green thumb. But that never happens. Poor plants don’t stand a chance with me around. In the past we’ve kicked around the idea of having a garden out back. We had someone come in and remove all this crazy overgrown brush then our plans that just petered out.

But one can dream right? So, off to Home Depot we go. I walk in and immediately I’m overwhelmed. What was I thinking? I don’t know anything about gardening, not ANYTHING. So we walked out of there with nothing except some $3.67 piece of I don’t know what for the weed wacker. I need to read up or learn something before I start sticking things into the ground.

After Home Depot Alan brought me to Ikea where I bought loads of stuff that I didn’t need. On our way to Ikea we were driving down 80 and we saw this weird funny car. It reminds me of cabs from England or something. I made Alan take picture after picture hoping he would get a good one. Which he did. I didn’t look carefully at it since I was driving but Alan said the car had 3 rows. One for the driver, then one in the back facing forward and one facing backward. See:



I like strange looking cars.
