Flowers, dress, sink hole

My weekend was a good one. All day yesterday was spent at the America's Global Village Festival in Ontario, Oregon. We had an awesome booth with food and trinkets to sell. We do a half hour show. I brought my camera, turned it on, and took.... no pictures. My battery died and I got NO pictures. Kristi and Heidi did though. It was fun!

Rillz and I went on a silly date today when he got off work. We went to Costco for lunch at the food court. Then went up and down every aisle. IT was great! I bought flowers and underwear. Thats all. I planted my flowers when I got home while Rillz was looking for running shoes in the shop. My other flowers I bought for my window box are only spring flowers that are now going dead on me and looking a little sad. New flowers... new pretty color!

Rillz couldn't find his running shoes so off to Fred Meyer we went for shoes. We found some great ones for him! Then we went looking for dinner. Rillz had plans to go to Sizzlers for the salad buffet until we passed an Applebees with a sign that read "Feed 2 for $20". Rillz turned into the parking lot so fast and the detour had officially been taken to Applebees instead of Sizzlers. The food and service was great!

I finally finished my frock by friday. I like how it turned out and it fits! There are plenty of mess ups but oh-well. A good learning experience.

Here is a CRAZY mystery. In my garden by where I planted my peas I have a freaky sink hole. It eats dirt and seeds and spits back up sand/rocks. I don't get it. It is SO weird. I have filled this stinkin hole 3 times with dirt. Packed dirt. You know, like how you pack in a ton of brown sugar in the little measuring cup and dump it out only to still hold a very tight cup form. Well, thats how tight I have packed in this flippin dirt only to have rocks and sand spit back at me the next day after the dirt had been watered. I don't get it. Anybody know my mystery? It's driving me crazy.

You can't see the stupid little rock pebbles very well in the picture. Where is the dirt going? And where are the rocks coming from? Grrrr.....

I hope your weekend went well! Happy Monday tomorrow.

Bills, bills, oh and more bills

I am sitting at work and paying my bills and thinking to myself "didn't I just pay this bill a week ago?" and then I say to myself "when do the bills end for the month?" GRRRRRR. Does anyone else just feel like they pay bills non stop. I mean, once you have them all paid for the month the next month starts right away. So frustrating. Oh well, I guess I should be grateful I can pay all these dumb bills.

On a good note... I have a flower box under my kitchen window that looked ugly because I never put flowers in it. Last night I went to Fred Meyer and bought some to put in the flower box and the dirt underneath it. I am not a gardener but figured I could handle this much. I took before and after pictures so I will have to post those soon. Just so you know the flowers in my care typically last a week before dead. So lets just see how long we can keep these little guys alive. The worst part of gardening is the dirt in my finger nails. I am not a girly girl but it just feels so gross.

P.S. Thank goodness its Friday!!
