Blogger Was Broken
8:43 PM Edit This 12 Comments »
So, I didn't get to show you all the neato things I did this weekend because of stupid Blogger. It was broken and it was a nationwide problem for select individuals, which I found out in chat rooms. That's a good thing, because the last time the Internet wasn't working, I was convinced I had some sort of virus and I was deleting cookies and programs and all kinds of crap from my computer - certain it was me. This time? I looked. It was not me. I shut off my computer and walked away. Thank goodness. So here's the weekend in pictures.
Inspired by Nilsa, I made a sun dress. I am awesome.
And my garden? Well, it wouldn't be a recapped weekend post if I didn't write about my garden. Look at it! Everything is in now. Tomatoes, peppers and onions were the last bit. Nothing else goes in. Unless I find some red salvia for the front because those flowers look so, so pretty against the green of the garden.
Can you believe it was just dirt a few weeks ago? And I never posted about the lima beans and the spaghetti squash. The lima bean trellis is quite uninspired, but it started with a piece of wood from Cowgirl's barn and then I nailed sticks to it. The spaghetti squash has been relegated to the "Time out" chair that we keep in the backyard. Gay Boyfriend wanted to use it for kindling. I had different ideas.
I thought I'd take some pictures from the perspective of my anthropomorphic plants. The lima beans see this and want to climb.
The spaghetti squash see this and want a seat.
The butternut and summer squash see heights they want to attain.
The peas have almost reached the top!
The green beans? They have a ways to go, but they finally put out their climbing vines and are seeking the trellis.
I had a birthday party for Miss M. on Sunday night. At one point, there were about 40 people in our backyard. But my friends come and go. They know it's a casual thing and by 9:30, there were five of us and by 9:45 , everyone was gone and I had the dishes to wash and done. We are not late night souls.
And to top it all off, I was thinking I was getting really bad news at my job this morning, but it turned out to be really GOOD news, so my stupid worrying brain can take a rest for a few days now.

Here it is in a nutshell. I thought they were going to announce that The Good Doctor was retiring and I was going to be unemployed, living on the streets and digging through dumpsters. Instead, I got a new director whom I like and he and I visited yesterday and I told him I wanted to work on figuring out where to go from here - like actually use my brain and he was all, "Yes! Let's visit about your future!" And that made me happy.

You too made a dress?! OMG you guys rock. I don't think I could make a dress to save my life.
Love the pictures from the plant's perspective :)
Awesome!! I think your garden Is fantastastic. I love the POV shots.
Lovely dress too! You are kicking some major productivity ass, girl!
Stupid blogger wouldn't let me post all the comments I tried to post either but I'm too lazy/tired to try to figure out what/who those were to again. Hmph.
Oh you know I want to know your news. I always expect bad news. My stomach gets in knots. It's the anxiety. WHY CAN'T WE BE OPTIMISTS? I am speaking for you too, sorry.
Awesome dress, lady!
Blogger was acting up most of the day for me also..
I WANT TO KNOW THE NEWS! Tell me the news, yo. DO IT.
Look at that sundress - I love the design (and the material)! Did you make it from a pattern or fly by the seat of your pants?
Also, great news about work - very exciting.
Oh and we have purple salvia in our front yard. We love it - it grows so high we finally had to tie it to stakes because it was falling all over the flowers in front of it!
You ARE awesome! I smiled all the way through this post.
I love the sundress. Nice sewing!
And I love the Plant's Eye View photos. So cool! The Time Out chair is perfect for its new life purpose.
The garden is looking beautiful!! I'm so jealous - how do you keep it so weed free? I am just getting ready to go out and weed my tomato patch and I have weed-free envy...
Love the dress.
The party? LOL.. I go to bed at 9:30, so by your clock I would have been in bed while the party was still going.. sigh.
The new director? Make him make good on that "future" conversation.
Now I'm off to weed!!!
I LOVE your pictures. :-)
Thanks for the smiles.
You MADE a dress? Wildly impressive. And what a great garden! Summerwin.
'like actually use my brain and he was all, "Yes! Let's visit about your future!" And that made me happy.'
