Well today was a better day.


I went to lowes this morning and picked up a raised garden set and some veggies to plant and some soil. I bought a few seeds of beans and a few seeds of cucumbers. I dont know if I waited to long to plant them, or if they will turn out. It says to plant them between may and oct in this area, but they only need max 50 days to sprout, so hopefully I can get SOMETHING to grow. Im actually really excited about this garden. Its the first garden I have ever planted. If the veggies dont turn out, I think I will go buy some flowers that grow all year long.


Its a shame that pine trees dont die off in the winter, cuz we have one in our back yard, and I raked the pine needles out of yard today also. I am SO thankful in that respect for a smaller yard because raking pine needles is a crappy job. Especially when there are hidden doggy surprises in the pine needles. But, the yard looks better, and I feel so great that I finally got outside today. I didnt go to the grocery store, but I will do that tomorrow morning. I think Im gonna get zuchinni and make some bread.


I am trying to eat healthier. I mean, I have been trying for a long time, but its hard to eat healthy because its so much more expensive to eat healthy. I buy apples and that usually is a good snack, and I LOVE the snacks that kashi makes. The pumpkin pecan bars are SO SO SO FRIGGIN good. But aside from apples and frozen veggies, the healthiest thing I know how to make is chicken, and Trent gets sick of chicken after so long, so I am trying to come up with some more ideas. I know there is a book somewhere that shows you how to make all kinds of food with veggies in the recipes but the veggies are hidden. Its a book for kids, to help them eat healthy, but Im thinking thats a great idea.


Baby Travis is growing so big. I have my 32 week appointment and Im getting so nervous. Im down to about 8 weeks now before he is due. Trent ordered this thing in the mail called a bumbo. Its a little foam seat that holds the baby up once he is strong enough to hold his head up. I got that in the mail today, and so our collection of baby items continues! We are still on the hunt for a carseat, a stroller, and a diaper bag, and a few other small items, but mostly, we have a lot of good stuff already. We have TONS of clothes, some toys already, a baby book, the crib and bedding, a running stroller, the shelf for all his stuff... I cant wait to get a real comfy chair to sit on at 3 am while Im listening to that cute screaming session I know travis is going to be having. :)




guess thats all for tonight! later.
