There was a sale on some of the plants I wanted at Fred Meyer, so I replanted the patio containers. Jesse says he’ll water them while I’m gone, plus I put those water saving crystals in the pots, so hopefully they’ll survive!

Here’s a few of the containers:

When we moved into our new apartment at the end of last year, we decided to try VoIP phone service. It’s been great – until Sunrocket (our provider) mysteriously went out of business this past week. I think we’re going to be brave and try another, but I have this sneaking suspicion that by this time next year we may have a regular phone – or decide to use just our cell phones (makes me a little nervous, but we could do it).

Next week, I’ll be taking off for vacation. I’ll be spending a little over a week down in San Diego with family and friends. My fingers are crossed that this is what I need to recharge myself. Recently, I’ve felt like I’ve had no energy and it’s all I can do to get the basic things taken care of during the day. After a week of eating well and hitting the gym 4 mornings I feel about a million times better. I’m really happy to have gotten back to these things and I think that the combination of this and the vacation is going to make life much more enjoyable once I get back!

I’m currently in vacation prep mode. This weekend I’m cleaning the apartment and making sure there will be plenty of things for Jesse to eat while I’m gone. Monday through Wednesday at work will be spent getting things (especially my desk that has gotten so horribly messy!) organized. I always love having a nice fresh start when I get back from a vacation – who wants to come home to a big mess?! It’s bad enough to have to put away everything from the trip…

The only thing I can’t do this weekend that I’d really like to do is buy new shade loving plants for the back porch. After a big heatwave in the past few weeks, plus my hopes that plants that need sun might do ok on our shady deck, all the plants out there are dead. It looks horrible! I can’t wait to have it all replanted with flowers that will do well back there.

Despite being really busy all the time (with work and the rest of life), I’ve felt like I haven’t had much to say. And when I have had things to say (or vent about) this hasn’t been the place to do it. I think I might be ready to come back though. I have the feeling it may take a while to get back into the swing of things… but I’ll get there.

Actual posts coming soon! (Keep your fingers crossed…)
