A friend of mine and I came across this question a few days prior. There was some speculation that an olive was a vegetable, but also wondered that it might be a fruit (due to pits) and there was also the brief wonderment to if it was actually a bean, or something different entirely ( Read more... )

Part of living in the country always seems to entail certain jobs; such as baling hay. Saturday I went up to my grandparent's old farm and helped to pick up the bales. The day before it got up to nearly 100, so it was a rather nice thing to see that it only got up to the mid 80's. Still didn't help out a lot, hot weather is hot, even more so when ( Read more... )

Love the warm weather, but not liking the 75+ weather for sleeping in at night. Hopefully it won't be so bad tonight, unlikely, but there's always hope. At least today it won't be so bad. The beach is calling my name, and a picnic is in order. So that is being looked forward too, I'm thinking of using my new swimsuit ( Read more... )

Actually will be my eight day of work in the last nine days, and I don't foresee a day off until Sunday at the earliest. I like the hours, no doubt, but it would be nice to have a little bit of downtime in between ( Read more... )

But that really wont stop any of us from going to the beach, now will it? Another day of work, to which I am slowly getting ready for, and then after a few friends and I are meeting up to exchange belated Easter baskets (Or as I like to call them, 'May Day' baskets) and grab some food. It'll be fun, a nice way to unwind, esp after work ( Read more... )

Already gone for my run today, another 20 minutes. When I get used to the running, I'll start making myself go a little longer. For now I'll just stay satisfied with simply going out and getting it done. Another nice day, but nothing much to really do, just one of those things. I've already worked some on my chapters, and done some cleaning as well ( Read more... )

That's all they are; they don't tricks, they aren't celebrities, they don't have magical healing powers. They're flowers. They grow, they look pretty, they stick out of the ground. Is there really a need to flock there by the thousands to see them?

I do not particularly enjoy sitting at a standstill on the freeway for minutes at a time just trying ( Read more... )

Bright and sunny, nice and warm. Perfect day for pictures, which I am waiting to hear from a friend on to see if we will do so or not. In the meantime, I did some cleaning, both in and outdoors. Car is nice and spiffy, vacuumed and febreezed. Need a new air freshener for it though, as well as a good ol' car wash. Probably will do that as well while ( Read more... )

Sadly no writing last night, having work, meeting up with parents for dinner, then I forced my lazy but up and ran on the treadmill instead of sitting in front of the computer. Only managed about 20 minutes last night, but that's better than nothing I guess ( Read more... )
