Sea World Take I

I might be the least prepared person I know. Let me just give you an example. Last week we went to San Antonio to do the whole Sea World, Alamo, Texas heat thing. Here is the photo from Day 1 at Sea World.


Yep, that's THE photo. THE photo was taken while waiting in line to get in. After THE photo was taken, the batteries died. We did however get a waterproof camera for Day 2. More photos to come.

Summer Plans

So Friday I'm going back to school. Graduate school that is! Well, I'm not exactly going back to graduate school, because I've never really been, I just mean I'm going back to school and the type of school is graduate school. I think you know what I mean.

Anywho, after seriously considering a career with ATI in court reporting, air conditioner repair, or possibly spa administration, I decided to stick with what I know; no not total catastrophes that result from poor planning, but school, kids, education. I'm going to be a school counselor! I can't wait. For years I've been dulling out advice, now I get to get paid to do it. It's going to be great! I'll be sure and keep you updated on how the advice giving's going.

You again?

Weeds really are the party crashers of the garden world. No one wants them there, not the host (me) or the invited guests (watermelon, bell peppers, green beans...). But they are really unaware that they don't belong. Weeds have difficulty with social cues, if I've hostily taken you out 3, 4, oh 8 times this summer already, you'd think they'd take a hint and find a gated community that welcomes them, not my little gated community (garden) that has informed the bouncer to throw them out.

But I do say, I admire their resilience, they just keep on coming back. Well lemme tell you something weeds, I'm pretty stubborn too, so keep bringing it on!
