After the Storm


Photobucket
I love summer storms. The thunder, lightening, puddles.. for some reason all feel different in the summer. I can remember when I was little, piling all my stuffed animals on my bed, and preparing for the 'flood' that would take me down the street. Now I just like to pile myself on my bed and listen.

This storm offered my planets a nice drink. Pictured are beans, pepper leaves, basil, and tomatoes. Most of them are gone now, except the tomatoes, and couple tiny peppers. The basil has gone to seed and is far too strong. I tried some with a tomato the other day and had to spit it out. Yuck!

The honeysuckles looked especially rain-forresty. When I was taking these pictures there were wasps flying all over. I was too scared to get close enough to get a good picture of them.

I can feel summer coming to an end. It makes me nervous, and also excited. I love fall, but what girl who loves clothes, doesn't? However, I feel like I didn't get in enough swimsuit wearing, or ice cream dates. Matt reminded me that I jumped off a 60+ foot cliff this summer, so I should not feel I lacked in summer adventures. Hopefully fall will feel a bit more productive.

Ciao!

*boop* Where you at?


I have 4 folders of pictures that I need to make blog posts for.. but I'm busy. Doing what you ask? Well I unexpectedly received a call last Thursday to go back to work. One of my favorite coworkers found a better job, so they needed me to come fill his spot. Friday I started my (fingers extremely tightly crossed) new job. I was the attendance secretary, but I will hopefully now be one of the main office secretaries. Better pay, less angry parents. Unfortunately they can't just give me the job, I have to 'apply'.

Summer is now officially over, which means Sunday is Sunday again.. And not Friday night round 2. So tonight Matt is over here, playing video games. I am painting flowers on my toes to match my fingers nails.

So if I find myself some time this week I will be back with our adventures in Des Moines a couple weeks ago. As well as some long lost photos from June.

Have a great week!
Ciao!

P.S. Goal before January, join the rollerderby team.
