So,

Remember that post -- you know... the one where I said something along the lines of starting things off really well, and then just stopping? Well, this is me. Doing that.

The trip to Havasu (which I so fervently promised pictures from) was WELL over a month ago. Shockingly, I have yet to make good on the pictures.

ALSO, the giant hole I dug for my garden of wonder and delight??? I JUST planted the seeds. NOT ONLY that, but its 1/4 the size of the original hole I dug. I was a little over ambitious with the digging I suppose.

The reason I am pointing out my flakiness, is because I need the help of all who venture to this here blog. I am a student again. Its official, bonified, signed - sealed - delivered. This is one garden I cant quarter-plant. This can not be a vacation that I don't post pictures of. No penny smelling dog that does without a bath for too long. I have to be focused, committed, thorough and MOST OF ALL endurant (is that a word?)

Encourage me, yell at me, cattle prod me, what ever you need to do. I plead with you, dear country men, please help me.

So, the Gardening is slow going. I get so excited about these things, dig 1/2 a hole and lose momentum. So I have decided to fill you in on the other happenings in my life.

1. Brady brought home a truck. No need to worry folks. We arent pickin up and goin' truckin (yet). BUT we have also acquired a Trans Am in the last little bit. I am trying to talk him into cruising AT LEAST once though town like Smokey and the Bandit. I havent convinced him yet, but do stay tuned... I think he is starting to give.

2. We are kicking off summer '09 with a boating trip soon. I will provide your peeping eyes with pictures of this adventure as well. I have provided a picture of our boat to tide you over for the time being. (I know my blog is like food to you).

3. My dog continues to smell like hot pennies.

Captains log: Entry number 1.18.2009 --So, I have been thinking alot about this blog business. I have really been wanting to jump on the wagon, but I just didn't know where to start. I am a journaler, but writing stuff that people can look at is much different. I will need to do some editing somewhere between my brain and my finger tips. Also, I was unsure of what to write about... then I remembered, that this isnt about you, dear reader. Sorry... but this is just my chronicleing my little existence, and if you happen to find it interesting, awesome. If you find it entertaining, EVEN BETTER... but understand, that would be an added bonus, but certainly not my intention. This is an outlet and a communication tool. Sometimes, things happen in my life that I like to share. AND I am just lucky enough to be part of this bloggin generation! SO HERE GOES NOTHIN!!!Not a whole ton is happening in our little world right now. Breaking Headline right now, is that the sun is out, and garden preparations are in full swing. I did some digging today. I thought it would be fun to show the progression of my garden on here. My plan is 1/2 vegetables, and 1/2 bee garden. So veggie stealers beware... I am designing this to be well protected by my striped little friends. I am going to try to post a picture of what I have so far. Brace yourself.
