Herb garden help wanted
Help!!! I have a three pot planter that I'd like to use for herbs. But, I can't decide on which three things to plant! I absolutely will be growing basil, but what should I plant for the other two? I'm also considering buying this planter, which has 5 sections and also comes with the seeds.
Of the things I'm considering...
parsley - don't really ( Read more... ) -
Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow
Ow! I had a nice 4-day weekend planned. We started off strong, running all over town and even picking out tile for the bathroom renovation. Saturday was still pretty good, including a very short run, and making a huge pot of coconut chicken chili for the girl's cooking night. And then Sunday arrived, far too early ( Read more... ) -
I really like my vets...
... but I've been to the office 6 times already this year. Poor Darla has kennel cough. It's just unfortunate timing and Darla's bound to pick up doggie colds the more I walk her. I'm kicking myself in the butt because it's probably my fault she's got her second illness this year. She's finally starting to behave around other dogs in certain ( Read more... ) -
It has been a very long week.
The last seven days felt much longer. It's only 8 pm on Saturday and I'm winding down for the evening. I plan on writing this entry and then planting myself in front of the tv to watch Chuck and hopefully Angels and Demons while writing some postcards. I don't even know where to start, but since the pets take up most of our time, I'll start there ( Read more... ) -
Advice?
Every day, I more seriously consider getting a Neti Pot. Has anyone ever used one? I'd love to keep my sinuses clear. -
Car woes
I'm dropping off the Saturn tonight for routine service including a brake check. Though, it now sounds like a ball bearing in the front driver's side wheel has gone bad. Let's hope that the bill for car repairs is less than the vet bills we've paid in the last week. Oy. -
Week 1 update on my resolutions
#9 - Well, I haven't stopped cursing, but I am acknowledging each slip up for the time being. It's only at work that it is a problem. As soon as I'm home, I don't let 'em fly. There are far too many opportunities and reasons at work though ( Read more... ) -
Salem
We took Salem back to the vet for a second blood draw. They did a couple of in house tests. Her glucose is very high, but there are no ketones in her urine. We will get the final results tomorrow. If she is diabetic and needs insulin, she will have to spend four days at the vet office to monitor her reactions and confirm dosage. I am more worried ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Salem!
We took Salem kitty to the vet last night for her 6 month check up. We have to keep a close eye on her renal panel ever since she was diagnosed with kidney disease. We had a bit of shock last night because she has lost 2 pounds in the last 2.5 months. That's over 15% of her body weight! We had blood drawn to check the renal function and we also put ( Read more... ) -
2010 New Year's Resolutions
I really love to-do lists. I have them everywhere ever since I started using a sticky pad. There's something oddly satisfying about crossing off each item when it is complete. It's only fitting that my resolutions would also double as a list of items I would like to finish this year. I think this is a fair mixture of personal improvements and ( Read more... )
