If you ever find happiness by hunting for it, you will find it as the old woman did her lost spectacles. Safe on her own nose all the time. ~ Josh Billings

Now we know why my name's not Martha...

When we moved into our house there was a flower bed with nothing but weeds. So last week I pulled out everything, and I mean everthing! So then we had a flower bed full of dirt. So today I tried my hand at gardening. I had no idea how deep to plant them, how far apart, and I couldn't even tell you now what kind of flowers they were. The only thing I know about gardening is that this is probably not a good time of year to plant flowers! So now it will take nothing short of divine intervention to make something or anything grow next year.

Besides being domestic, I haven't done much lately. Derek is at youth right now and I am just sitting in anticipation for Lost tonight! I also am waiting on Brandt's cake recipe to bake. Tomorrow is Katrina's birthday so it was the perfect opportunity to make my favorite cake. Maybe I'm not such a domestic failure after all!

I also am now more than 1/2 way through my staff relief and besides that one incident, I think I'm doing alright. Wow, my life is boring, I can't think of anything else to say...except I can't wait to see Abby, Laura, and Maria this weekend!

    Abby - I know how you feel with gardening! I have killed all of my house plants but one, and I almost killed my mums outside. However, I am feeling a little success because they (the mums) have finally stopped turning brown, and they've started to bloom. Hmm...I should go water them.

    Also, you haven't been to jail yet, and (as far as I know) you don't wear a tracking device on your ankle!

    You're making Brandt's recipe, he would be so proud! I want to plant flowers at my house too, but I have no idea about tropical varieties.

    Tip about mums: Water them from below the flowers. If you pour water directly on the top of the plant they will all die! Good luck with all the gardening!
