Last night after car shopping I watched Big Fish with my Mum. Even though I own the DVD I have not watched it in a while. I watched it up at school with Bianca and Michelle I think, but that time I was watching it for the visual appeal. It did not let it affect me. If you have not seen it, go rent it.

My garden is finally complete. The mulch was put down today. My tomato and squash plants are going bonkers. yes, bonkers.
