Always one last post:
Buffy was just watching the news and it talked of Mr.Bush trying to ban gay marriages.
Buffy was HORRIFIED.
"He wants to BAN them??? What a STUPID president we have! What's the MATTER with that guy???"
She's very angry right now, and I am very proud of her.

Good night Everyone.
Time to go roast in my bed.

My daughter is watching a show about Bob Hope and she's just FLIPPING OUT over how long he's lived, as the show went through the last 100 years.
"He was alive when the Wright brothers flew?? Telephones? Before cars??? Martin Luther King AND Vietnam? WOW, the world has changed A LOT in the last 100 years! He had a really exciting life!!! And what a cool name, 'Bob Hope', I like that!"
It was really neat seeing her excitement.

I love the new Madonna/Missy Elliot Gap commercial.
They are both totally cool.

To clarify that conversation that involved Jeff down there,
I actually went into the group talking to one of them about a work discount,
She brought up the blowjob topic and also asked Jeff about how much they cost,
I wasn't actually a part of that topic, I had brought a work question to the conversation.
I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't the one who started it.
And the truth is, we all joke around very often like that, it is a very fun company and we can all take a joke, and I could take Jeff joking like that if it was just him and me.
I just didn't appreciate him making that kind of joke in front of those particular people, and he knew better.

Do I need to tell you it's freakin hot in here again?
Oh yeah,
Spike came back from Church Camp another inch taller
And claims to have kissed TWO girls
"on the cheek".
I haven't heard about much else at camp except the girls so far.

Have any of you read Dream of Scipio?
I almost bought that book this weekend, but it was full price so I decided to wait until I found it on Amazon.
Has anyone heard of it?

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you about something sort of exciting that happened at work Thursday.
I was at work joking around with Jeff, and three other people (including the boss's son).
We were joking about how much blow jobs cost, and a few people turned to Jeff to ask if $20 was about right,
Because sex-crazed Jeff is most likely to know.
He had the nerve to turn to me and say "Yeah, that's about how much you..."
He never had a chance to finish the sentence.
I back-handed him in the face, right above his nose and across his forehead as hard as I possibly could, and walked out of the office.
He followed me out asking what he did (While whimpering and holding his face which was turning bright red) and I yelled at him for a good ten minutes "You have NO RIGHT!! NO RIGHT!"
*****
DeeDee defended him later, saying "He just doesn't think before he speaks, he can't help himself."
While that's true, it's also true that he gotten away with that shit for six years now, and I wasn't about to stand by and let him joke like that in front of people I work with, people who don't know the true story of our history, and people who don't know ME well enough to judge if he's joking or not.
Six years of crap like that, that was the last straw.
*****
He's so clueless, he followed me around for a good 45 minutes, "What did I DO?? I'm SORRY! What did I SAY??"
I kept trying to warn him to stay away from me, cuz what I wanted to do was jump on him and start wailing.
"I'm going to go home with red marks on my face!"
Me: "Good, I hope your wife asks where you got them."
*****
I don't hate him, I still consider him a friend, but I'm not going to put up with that crap anymore.

Well, the Aptos bookstore did not have Rolling Stone but we did go see TombRaider 2 on Saturday.
During the movie I was positively enraptured by Angelie Jolie - Can the woman possibly be getting more beautiful???
But when the movie was over I was a little disappointed.
While it didn't have the long slow drawn-out parts the first one did,
It also didn't have the super exciting action scenes.
Just medium-exciting ones.
So... Not as boring, but not as exciting either.
Overall I'm kind of disappointed.
*****
I told the kids I would take them to see it next Saturday.
Buffy: "You mean you're going to drag us along when you go see it a second time."
Well, that's another way of saying it, I guess.
:-)

The good news is,
Scott officially came out and asked if maybe we would like to move there.
But we both agreed there are too many denominators at the moment with the kids,
And we will stick to the current plan of talking about it next summer.

I am back after a wonderful three days of cool foggy mornings and sunny breezy afternoons in Aptos.
I wore my soft blue running pants all weekend.
Now I'm home, sweating my ass off again, sitting here half nekkid,

I went to Eliza's house and stayed way too long drinking wine with her.
She LOVED her bracelet, and loved her new Lucky Panties too.
She is quite beautiful again, a year after her divorce, now that she's not so stressed out,
She's gained a few pounds back
(she was looking quite anorexic)
And she's grown her blonde hair long again..
Really quite beautiful.

And I need to get Eliza's birthday present all ready so I can deliver it tonight.
I got her some new "lucky thongs" (as she calls them)
And a very very pretty bracelet.
Happy Birthday Eliza!!!

How is it possible for this house to be more hot than all last week?
It was cooler today, a bit,
And supposedly it rained last night
(forgive the swearing, we in the Bay Area are all a bit testy lately)
But this house is waaaaay hotter than usual.
I'm supposed to leave tomorrow for 3 days in Aptos,
I'm not sure I can leave the animals here that long.

I miss Spike.
He's at church camp near Lake Tahoe right now
Doesn't come back until Saturday.
I know he's having lots of fun though.
And I can't wait to tell him he gets to be in water polo again!

Usually when I write out my haiku in the morning I think they pretty much suck
(Like today, for instance).
But when I go back and read them later I really like them.
Some of them are pretty cool, I think.

Last night at 8pm I got a phone message,
It was Buffy's best friend.
"Buff, if you want to be in water polo Coach said you and Spike could come for the rest of the season and you don't have to pay any money."
I ran outside, "Buffy, you want to go to water polo right now?"
That girl dropped her frisbee, ran past her friends and straight to the bathroom to get changed.
We were at the pool in five minutes.
My kids are really really lucky,
But I am also very proud of them that they are such good kids so many people want to help them out.

Threat rating: High. The Bush administration is
concerned that it may not get a second term.
Therefore, we are going to change the rules so
that each Democrat vote only counts as 0.2
votes because Democrat is a shorter word than
Republican
What threat to the Bush administration are you?

Ever since watching Pirates of the Carribean we've been calling Buffy "Poppet".

I need to strip off my dress and bra and just sit here in my panties again.
Can someone please tell Buffy to keep her friends outside?
Can someone tell God that we who live in the Bay Area will never complain about weather again if He would just PLEASE turn down the heat this summer????

"Oooh," says Buffy, "We have potatoes! Can you make french fries?"
Me: (sweating next to the air conditioner) "NO! I am not making french fries from scratch!"
Buffy: "Ohh, but it's so easy, you just cut the potatoes in pieces and put them in a big pot of oil..."
It's 90 degrees in this house, and she wants to deep fry potatoes???

We saw Pirates of the Carribean last night.
We thought it was great, though it wouldn't have been good at all without Johnny Depp.
WOW, he was GREAT!
I would have loved to see more of him.
The girl was pretty scrumptious too.

This was the first day Corina was gone on maternity leave and things were falling apart in the office by 4pm.
The evilness in me enjoys this immensely.
Corina called this evening for a full report.
We're loving it.

We have a tiny bit of extra money and the kids and I are debating whether to get a little weight machine (Scott has one like it and it's REALLY great) or a trampoline.
I am having a very terrible time getting to the gym
And it's too Mother-F%@$-ing hot to run or bike
And I am slowly gaining much weight.
Too much weight.
Though we'd love a weight machine,
The kids would also love a trampoline and I just might be able to get some cardio in in the morning.
I wish we had a lot of extra money so we could get both, but that's not the case right now.
Any suggestions as to which would be better?

Ya know,
I am DONE with this summer.
DONE.
I moved from Alaska to San Jose in 1973
(did I mention that was the last year the Cudas won finals? And that this year we won AGAIN? I did? Oh.)
And there was a heat wave that was so bad the first thing my parents did was get air conditioning for the house.
I don't remember it ever being so hot since.
I love summer.
Anyone who regularly reads me knows this.
But I
HATE

And both Spike AND Buffy got Coaches Award for their age group.
And the coach just went on and on about Buffy being a great Leader of the Swim Team.
I was quite proud.

I was quietly playing Sims on the computer last night
Right under the air conditioner
And then at 5pm the power went out.
I thought we'd blown the fuse again so I went to flip all the switches,
Just as I flipped the last one and the power didn't come back on
There was a knock on the door,
Buffy's friends wanted to know if our power was out too.
It was only a small part of our block that was out,
Maybe ten houses total
But it was so hot, all the neighbors just came out front to hang out in our yards.
PG&E didn't come out until 7:30
I don't know what the problem was but they said it wouldn't be fixed until 5am
And they were right, 4:54am the power came back on.
I'm afraid to open my freezer now, heh.

OOH!
Also yesterday they had a raffle for six different gift baskets.
For the last three years, the kids and I have won a basket.
And this year...
I did it again.
We won the smallest basket, a gardening tote with lots of gardening tools and gloves and a spray bottle,
AND a bunch of seeds, vegetable and flower, and PUMPKINS!
We were very happy,
And can't wait to plant our pumpkins!

SurfGirls is on MTV this morning!
Buffy and I LOVE this show.
AND,
last night we found out one of the guys on our swim team has started HIS OWN SURFBOARD COMPANY!!!
He makes the boards himself, for a few hundred dollars less than standard price.
I've arranged to make payments to him every month
And by February,
Buffy's Birthday,
She'll have her own custom-made surf board.
Buffy and I are so excited, and I am so excited for the guy,
He's a wonderful kid and comes from a wonderful family.
I have no problem supporting his company.

Which reminds me of another very funny dream from last week:
Scott rents a studio apartment in his house to a very nice lady,
But in my dream she had moved out and it was a two bedroom apartment.
So I stood there looking at the empty apartment thinking *I* could move there,
And I was so excited that the kids and I could maybe live there,
Then suddenly OZZIE OSBOURNE and family were sitting on a couch,
With Ozzie saying "I don't WANT to live here" and Sharon patting him on the back saying "But Ozzie, it would be good for you, you need to get away from Hollywood and MTV and all those damn cameras, and it would be good for Jack too."
And their kids were sitting there all glum cuz they didn't want to live there either, but in my dream Scott had already promised them the apartment so I couldn't ask for it.
And I felt so bad cuz I really really wanted it but I didn't want to take it away from poor Ozzie, cuz Sharon said he really needed the peace and quiet there.

I just remembered a dream from last night,
I had had surgery to remove my LIVER and it was a simple thing like removing my gallbladder.
And they had given me my liver to hold in my hand, while telling me it had gotten infected, that was why my side had hurt last week.
And I kept thinking "Now I don't have a gallbladder or a liver, they could at least have asked me before they removed it!"
And it wasn't even a nightmare.

Dreamed about the swim meet all night, hee.
Now I'm doing Spike's wash,
We have to get him to church to leave for camp at 12:45,
And then zoom back to the pool for awards at 2pm.
Very exciting busy day.
Can't wait for next weekend,
No kids
No swim meet
No confirmation class...
Just one long uninterrupted weekend in Aptos.

Tomorrow is Swim FINALS.
It is always held on the hottest day of the year
(either they consult with God when they set the date,
Or God just really loves to have a joke on us)
And is set at Gunderson High School
A school made entirely of cement
With no shade whatsoever.
It is always the most miserable day of the year
And since all teams swim against each other
It lasts from 7:30am until about 4pm.
I will work as a timer from 8am to 11am.
And hopefully our team does well,
We could possibly place as low as 3rd, but First would be absolutely awesome.

Okay, I wish I could post lots in celebration of my new working blog
But it's like 105 outside, and my indoor thermometer that tops out at 95 degrees,
Says 95 degrees,
My computer is SUPER HOT
and I need to turn the air conditioner on.
Air conditioner shares same circuit as computer,
They don't get along together,
So Blog must wait
So I don't die from this heat.
I mean,
If someone was here to baste me with my own juices
That would be different,
But I'm going to be one dried up baked chicken if I don't get the air on.
I'm already delirious, you see.
But it's like 105 outside, and my indoor thermometer that tops out at 95 degrees,
Says 95 degrees,
My computer is SUPER HOT
and I need to turn the air conditioner on.
Air conditioner shares same circuit as computer,

Dear Pischina:
It's me, bonkrood. I made up a little layout for you, a temporary one with no images. Hope you like it. I just randomly chose purple out of a hat, so if you hate purple, I can easily change it.
Expect an email from me on further details.

Getting ready for Swim Finals!
Getting ready for Swim Finals!
A few of you nice people have offered to host the image of Lara Croft for me,
And I thank you, it's very generous,
But I do use the gold membership for other features too,
And have quite a few images I have hosted there.
And HONESTLY
I can afford it,
So thank you for your help, but we're okay.
If you do want to help someone who needs it,
Go Here.
If she can get through school,
She won't have to have money-short weeks like I do.
And I can vouch that this is for real.

OH!
Guess what?
I have 8 vacation days to use,
Can't use them all at once cuz Corina's leaving on maternity leave,
But I can use a few in August.
So August 7 - 11
I'll be on vacation with Scott.
Wow.
We'll just be hanging out stress-free at his quiet house in the mountains of Aptos, 1 mile from the beach.
We're not going to do anything special,
We're just Not Going to Do Anything, haha.
And then 2 weeks later I get 3 days with the Kids, I can save my money to do stuff with them, like movies and stuff.
Hurray!

Ms.Bonky is going to try to help me with the scrolling situation,
And in the meantime I'm just going to have to believe that a few of you can scroll and read, heh.
So I'm going to start posting again.
By the way, Bonky is the best!
As a matter of fact, just about every darn one of my blogger friends is an incredible person.

I am certain that something in the layout html is preventing the blog from scrolling.
If anyone would like to take a look at it for me and fix it,
email me at Pischina at Diaryland dot com

I trust you
and I have no idea what to do myself.

I'm still wide awake from our afternoon coffee,
But I have to get to bed for work tomorrow.
Off I go.

We went to Surf City Coffee this morning,
It's right by Scott's house but we usually go to Aptos Coffee Roasting instead.
I know why.
WAAAY expensive.
Two small coffees and one very small muffin,
$5.75.
Ridiculous.

Saw League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Hated the movie, loved the characters.
Captain Nemo, Dorian Gray, Tom Sawyer, Vampire lady...
And Sean Connery was the coolest.
LOVED the characters, the sets, the effects.
Hated the storyline, and all the GOOFS in the movie.
Invisible man would have half makeup, whole makeup, no makeup, half makeup, from camera shot to camera shot.
Quite distracting.
And just HOW did that big ass boat (Totally cool boat but a mile long)
HOW did it just dock up in Venice?
Every two minutes we were asked to just completely IGNORE what happened previously.
Every 15 minutes they changed the plotline.
For all the money spent on the actors, sets, effects,
You'd think they could have hired a decent writer,
Or fired the editor,
I don't know.

Okay, my goldmembership has finally lapsed.
I still see Lara Croft on my page, but she may disappear soon.
My stats are gone and that sucks.
But everything should be back by Wednesday.

I also never dreamed taking that picture that in less than 2 months we wouldn't even be living there.
Wow.
My kids have grown a LOT in a year,
Especially Spike.
I would have guessed that pic was at least 2 years old.
Spike is now...

He's ONE INCH TALLER THAN I!!!!

Or does Bravenet not give referrers either?

Okay, WellsFargo.com says I have $45.
I wrote a $23 check for an oil change yesterday.
I have $10 in my pocket
We have no food in the house
I have NO gas in my car
Spike needs a new swim suit by Saturday morning
Car needs $600
I don't get paid until Tuesday
My side is still sore and tender
This is not a good month.
But I'll get through it.

What the hell,
The last time I could upload pictures to Three65pics I had less than half my space used.
Now I suddenly have 271% used and need to delete some pictures????
Something is whacky in Diaryland right now.

Looks like my GoldMembership is going to expire in "0.99 days" according to my email,
But since I don't have any money until July 15,
I guess we'll just have to do without Lara Croft for awhile.
Or perhaps I'll just stick my new favorite up...
Oh wait, I guess she'll be gone too, huh.
I know, I'll put her on a different Gold Memb that I have!
Bwahahahahaha,
Yup,
that will work until the 15th.

Ya know,
$18 isn't much,
Especially compared to $50,
Or the $70 I'm paying for a traveling membership.
*****
On the other hand, if I just save I can buy a weight gym for the patio
And fix my bike
And run
For free.

I'm thinking about canceling my current YMCA gym membership as I pay over $50/month,
And hardly have time to travel the distance.
But there is a gym down the street (3 miles)
Ballys Fitness,
Only $18/month
But I have to sign a three year contract, not transferable to another gym.
Who knows where I'll be in 3 years?
Life changes quickly, I've learned.

(I miss my layout...)
Anyway,
I've started to use FitDay.com again.
I really helps me not only keep track of my calorie and fat intake,
But helps me see what nutrients I'm short on.
Today I ate 1720 calories and 57 grams fat.
Since I wasn't even watching what I ate,
And felt like I pigged out,
I think that's pretty good.
Tomorrow I'll start concentrating on eating well again.

It just seems this girl is here for the attention.

I think 8-months-pregnant Corina lost her dang mind at work this afternoon.
Corina asked the new lady Jessie if she had any kids, she said no.
Corina: What? No kids! How old are you?
Jessie: 40
Corina: And no kids? What nationality are you??
Jessie: Chinese
Corina: Chinese! I thought you people were all baby making machines!
I was on the phone with a customer who was actually paying his bill and I started choking from horrified laughter when I heard her say that. The guy on the phone wanted to know what I was laughing at. Nothing, heh.
Poor Jessie doesn't even seem to understand that Corina's remark was (I thought, anyway) a bit offensive. Then Corina told her I was a CrackHead (her nickname for me) and Jessie remarked that that was "a good thing", haha.
For the record, I am NOT a crackhead.
Heee
Tomorrow it's due to be 100 degrees.
Corina's head is probably not going to be any better.

My side hurts, a lot.
My right side, is that where your appendix is?
Temperature 99.5 so that's not bad.
Then I realized, it's exactly a year since my surgery!
I do NOT want to go back to the doctor,
But if it gets worse tomorrow I'll have to.
There's no reason for it to hurt this way.
On the other hand, I probably won't be such a big baby about it this time, heh.

Since one kid or another has been at camp all summer so far,
Today was the first day they were at home together.
I got all sorts of phone calls today.
Two examples:
"Mom, I have to sweep today and Spike just spilled crackers and salt on the floor!"
My response: "I feel for ya, now get that floor swept before I get home."
"Mom can you go to the store to get film for my camping trip?"
My response: "The one where you don't leave for 2 more weeks? No."
*****
Which is better than the phone calls I'll get later in the summer when they're really bored.
Such as:
"I can't find the remote control!"
and
"What's the recipe for lemon pancakes?"

We're slicing the cucumber to eat fresh
And we're going to fry up some zucchs to eat with our pancakes.
Cuz yeah, that's what we're having for dinner.

If these kids think they're going to the beach today they have another think coming until all the soda that's obviously been spilled on the floor gets mopped up.
And Not by me.
Oh yeah, it's so nice they are home...

If I were to ever get married again,
I so love this dress.
Not that I'm getting married,
Or dreaming about it,
Or planning it,
I just like that dress.

I just remembered that I had a dream about talking to Courtney last night.
And she was really nice and I was telling her how pretty she was and that she shouldn't care about what people say about her new car.
Funny, huh.

The funniest part of talking to Itsy today
Was trying to figure out how hot it was in each other's country.
She only knows Celsius, I only know Farenheit.
"Well it's around 32 here..."'
"So is that like in the 90's?"
"I don't know, it's just hot."
"Well last week we were in the 100's, that was REALLY hot."
"We're usually 26, so 32 is.... Hot."
"So like in the 90's?"
Someone please get us a converter before we speak again.

Has anyone seen the recent issue of Rolling Stone???
Clay Aiken is on the cover with his shirt unbuttoned and TOTALLY showing skin and hair under his belly button area,
I felt dirty just looking at him.
I don't know, Clay as sex symbol?
I feel like showering with Lava soap just thinking about it.

But I kinda want to see Scott too, I miss him lots.
Tomorrow the kids and I are either going to the beach or going to the movies.
Terminator 3 or Charlies Angels.

I'm addicted to this tea.

Yes Meg, I was going to suggest you get another Blog as soon as possible.
You too Catie!
I miss you both!

Well poo,
I logged into Messenger again but Reality is not there.
I'm going to go make spaghetti.
YUMMMM....
I'll be back later for Yahoo IM though,
If anyone wants to talk.
To me.

I really wish I had my own website AND knew how to use it.
I mean, I do have one, but I barely can think of it as mine, as a good friend is in charge of it and takes care of it for me, I have no idea how to use it.
I wish I had a site where I could set up a live webcam.
Like a permanent one, I would have no problem leaving it on all day.
But I need someone nearby me in Real Life who can help me.
I guess I'll just have to wait.

ITSY!!!!
And she doesn't even have an accent!
(Is that how you spell accent? It doesn't look right...)
Except when she says "out" it comes like "ow-ooot"
I love Itsy, I'm so glad she called!!!

Will nothing go right today?
Please tell me if you can scroll down when viewing this.
Thanks.

My son is home.
:-)
He took Mammal Studies, Small Boat Sailing, Fingerprinting, Oceanography, Family Life and...
Something else, Don't remember.
But he had a great time,
And looks another year older.
I gotta stop sending these kids to camp
They don't look like little kids when they come home anymore.

All right Ms.Mariel, where did your diary go????
And in response to your guestbook entry,
Your recipe sounds FABULOUS and we will try it this week,
But my tomato/mozarella recipe was totally fresh and raw,
Just like a salad but no lettuce.
It seemed wierd to me when I first got it at the restaurant,
But it was Delicious.

Okay, now it's getting hot in here.
I just heard from Spike, he's in San Francisco now, about 45 minutes away.
Hurray!
And he said he had a great time AND earned six merit badges.
He was at Boy Scout Camp for those who don't know.
I'm so glad he had a great time, AND that I get to see him soon.
Also, Buffy just left to dinner at her friend's house and to go to church with them tonight,
Not sure which church it is,
Just that it's "Christian", but "Not Catholic" and "Not the Cathedral of Faith".
It doesn't matter to me which one, I'm just curious.
I think it's great for kids to have different experiences like that.

I went to Longs yesterday to get cotton balls so I could do my nails because I've run out of cotton balls,
And guess what?
They had no cottonballs.
A large drugstore
Had NO cottonballs.
Insane.

Oh gosh, I just realized I still need to get gas and stamps and mail my bills
And also, my car was making clickety-clak noises (more like tikka tikka tikka)
AND the digital thingie that tells me how fast I go was saying (0) on the freeway today,
So I'm assuming that isn't good.
Oh Jeez, now I'm all depressed, heh.

I need to re-add all my blog friends to the links,
But that seems like such hard work.
But I will.
I just need my son to come home first.

Well this stats counter doesn't show me where you all are from.
Anyone know of one that does?
Or tell me what I did wrong with Sitemeter, because I know my old ones use to work correctly.

I think this Quilt Project is a neat idea just like Traceee said,
But also, it would be SO COOL to create a quilt from squares that bloggers actually sewed themselves.
Would any of you be interested in that?
If there is any interest, I would be happy to take squares created by each of you and sew them together into a quilt.
Of course, I guess the quilt would stay at my house, but I'd take lots of pictures for you all!
Any other ideas what I could do with it?
Donate it to Blogger?
I definitely think it would be an amazing work of art,
It doesn't take any talent at all to create one square.
Tell me what you all think.

Come on Spike, Call me!!!
Ahhh,
It's been so long since I was a slave to SiteMeter.
I really need to get out of this house.
Maybe I'll go finish my hair now.
Yeah, I KNOW it's 2pm, but it's Saturday, I don't have to do my hair until afternoon if I don't want to!

Be back in a moment.

I love sprinklers.
We couldn't use them at the old burnt up house because there was no water pressure,
Seriously,
A sprinkler would rise less than a foot up in the air.
But now I don't have to stand outside with a stupid hose in my hand for hours.
Just plant my seeds,
Turn on the sprinklers,
Sit at the computer.
What a life.

I bought sunflower seeds the other day,
Not regular kind though.
One is a red and black flower about 5-6 feet tall,
The other is a white flower about 5 feet.
I'm going to plant them every other one, along the backyard fence.
It's going to be lovely.

In case you were wondering,
No, I never took the camera software off the other computer
And No, it will not turn on again.
Hopefully it cools down soon, cuz my memory cards are almost full.
You'd think I would learn my lesson,
But I'm a bit more hardheaded than that.

Hopefully my old blog site comes back up soon, but in the meantime,

I bought a 5 piece set of paint brushes on clearance at Longs ($2.99) for all different sizes, mostly big.
I'm going to use them to create my own Trading Spaces style artwork for my living room and bedroom.
You know, stretch some canvas on a frame,
Slap some colors on,
Call it Art.
It's going to look terrific, I just know it!

So I decided to do it here so I can figure out who ya'll are.

Sliced Roma tomatoes
Sliced mozarrella cheese
Drizzle with olive oil
Sprinkle with chopped basil.
Very
Very
Good.

I can't believe it's only Saturday!
I still have a day and a half vacation!!!
I still have a day and a half vacation!!!
My parsley did not survive the 100 degree heat last week.
All dead.
The basil and Oregano don't look great, but they and the mint will survive.
My lemon tree is fine.
Hurray!
Also, the entire vegetable garden is doing very very well.

Buffy and I baked a whole chicken this week (my first time) and I just stripped the whole thing,
Put it in a pan with chopped garlic, onions, green peppers, fresh basil and salt&pepper, and heated the whole thing up.
Then made YUMMY burritos with mozzarella cheese.
SO YUMMY.
