Garden 2011

As usual, the garden looks pretty and green, but what it actually produces is next to nothing. My turnips have turned into these weird 5 foot vines with some kind of pods hanging off of them, my bean leaves have been attacked by the Japanese beetles and look like lace, and my radishes are nothing more than a centimeter-wide root in the ground. And my sunflowers are on death's door! Who can't grow a sunflower?!
 The best thing I've got this year is probably my cosmos. But from everything I've heard' 4 year olds can grow them, so it's not a real feat.

Wow! I'm on fire today!

Another post!!
Getting ready for the fair next week. It should be sunny and 94 degrees with a heat index of 105.
Mmmmmm........There's nothing like the smell of humid, 105 degree, hot taco air.......Blech!
Do I dare visit the swine barns if it's 94 degrees? hahaha
I've got a bad feeling my exhibits look like crap. I don't think I'll be getting any Best of Shows this year. But I think everything I do is half-crap, so maybe I'm wrong.
Looking forward to Seether. Love their new song.
Don't like being alone at these concerts, but what's a Loser to do? HAHA!
I'd like to try a blooming onion, but everything's so expensive!!
Hope I don't get heat stroke on the walk home.

Cruising around Amazon music

One of my favorite things to do in a second window is to cruise around Amazon's free music. There are so many gems out there! I just downloaded a song called 123 by The Postelles. Better than anything I'd buy. I've got that new cloud player, but I prefer the music on my computer. Now, if I could just get my stupid MP3 player to work. Stupid computer, RECOGNIZE the new hardware already, you Idiot!!

Google+

I've been hearing a little buzz about Google + lately and it makes me nervous. Do you realize, given the choice between hearing my status updates or not, most people would choose not? LOL! I don't want a new social website. I like Facebook, it's not too complicated, you can find new friends, it's everything I need. And I don't need video chat. Who wants to see this at 6:30 in the morning?
I hope it's a bust.

4th of July recap

The best part of my 4th of July??
6:10 in the afternoon. 92 degrees of dry heat on the sunporch. Radio on playing three in a row by Papa Roach. Throwing everything aside, sitting back in the rocking chair, and just enjoying some great music. That's it right there. That's all I want out of life.
