I'm never ever letting the grass get so long again.  It was at least 12 inches in some spots.  My poor mower.  It was push it forward a foot or two and then lift it up when it sounds like it's going to stop.  And then shake it because nothing is coming out of the grass shoot.  I did both halves of our duplex lawn (b/c my roommate's been doing the ( Read more... )

I'm swamped at work right now.  I just went on vacation and all the relaxation from that is gone.  I'm so glad I've got Monday off for the holiday because I've been killing my eyes with the fluorescence microscope.  I don't want to look at any more fluorescing cells for a while.  Only another 40-some plates to do. Seven at a time.  Yay!! (sarcasm ( Read more... )

Planted my garden yesterday.  There's 12 or so pots on the patio with tomatoes, peppers, and some new things: yellow squash, zucchini, and a bush pickle.  We'll see how they do.  Tomatoes and peppers do fine in pots, but I'm not sure about the rest ( Read more... )

I( FF 7 rambles )

We had a lot of snow last night (at least a foot with 30 mph winds and no visability). It never really looked like it was dark outside last night because of all the snow in the air. I had a laughing fit about midnight because I knew that there was no way that I would get out this morning. And I was right. My roommate barely got out and he has a ( Read more... )

I have just found one of the best authors ever.  Really good writing, engaging story, interesting OCs, just everything.  I totally went and spent all day reading everything that was on her website.  Her name is Keira Marcos and she writes SG-1 and SGA and Sentinel.  And the funny thing is I found her totally by accident.  A link to a page of her ( Read more... )
