AKK. My son was gifted with an Origami booklet and a wad of sweet colored squares, and as he lacks the patience and the secret ninja powers to read these instructions, I promised him there would be surprises waiting when he woke up tomorrow a.m. Sucker ass mommy. I need an engineering degree to figure out these diagrams. But I made a shifty looking bird and am working on a fish. Ok, these are cheater origami, I had to glue something and even I know that true Origami is done only with folds.
I put up ads to join with the fine ladies on Our Hummus is Homemade, a group of ladies who all were looking for answers and found a community of awesome.
This is my mom's henhouse. She gets about 20 eggs a day from her girls, who are all named Percy. Every time I call her in the background all you can hear is the rooster whose name I've forgotten. It's fabulous.
Lets see, I may as well update the blog world. Ummm... hmmm.... Asa still has his job, I still have mine. Miles is still 6. The dog is good. The fish is even still alive, good Ol' Cletus II.
My grandparents were in town for a day last week, that was neat, haven't seen them in a few years. They have a kinda medium sized winnebago and travel round the country. I'm jealous, I'd love to do that. I got to hear some stories about their childhoods which I loved, since I really don't know much family history.
My brother and his family moved to Flagstaff for many reasons in July, to get out of the desert, to be near my dad, job stuff, etc. And that puts them so much closer to me which is awesome. Its funny how having kids makes you want to live near family. I'd like nothing more than to move back myself. Though I think back on my high school years and the things I did... Hmmm. Small towns.... Teenagers.... Yeah I dunno. We are stuck in vegas for the time being anyway.
OOOOO best news of all!!! Can't believe I forgot til now! I planted all sorts of veggies in containers trying to get things to grow and they all die in the heat, but peas and carrots do ok in the winter. But! I have compost in the back yard, and some how, (I think birds) a squash plant randomly started growing beside the leaky kiddie pool we have for Renfield. So I've been cultivating it, and watering it and it flowered, and now has actual size able squash on it, and they are butternut! YAY! Thats my favorite kind.
