Classes Have Resumed!

Well, summer is pretty well come and gone. Brian started classes again this week. This will be his last year! He's been busy with law review, and the job hunt. And, classes will be taking off shortly. We made the mistake of getting Guitar Hero World Tour for our anniversary, so Brian is currently keeping me company by freestyle drumming...so he's not too busy yet.
I've been very busy at work, which is good. I much prefer busy. This Saturday we have a kids' science program at the local Library...I have dry ice in the kitchen. Hopefully I wake up early enough. My garden is doing great. Lots of zucchini, tomatoes, peppers and onions - I've been sharing them with lots of co-workers, neighbors, and friends.
So, seriously, Brian's drumming is pretty good. If the law thing doesn't work out, maybe he'll just get his Christian rock band, yet. I'm playing U2 on my computer and he's drumming along. I've been reading a lot lately. I would recommend Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, and In the Woods by Tana French. I'm definitely getting her second book. For work book club, we just finished A Mercy by Toni Morrison...tough read, but good discussion. We just started My Sister's Keeper, good story, tearjerker. I also read Tweak by Nic Sheff, about his struggle with meth addiction. I don't necessarily recommend reading it, cuz it's so graphic, but it was good if you can handle it.
Ok, now I'm selecting iTunes and Brian's drumming along with them. It's AWESOME!!! That's all you get now. We'll keep you posted on the job thing...
One last shout out to my friend Kate's new business venture...if you want vintage fabric, support my awesome friend. www.midwestneedles.etsy.com

Greetings!
Just wanted to share some pics from my garden. These are the first fruits of my (and dad's) labors.

Tomatoes


Tiny little green pepper


Onion starting to come up

First zucchini and onion picked...could have waited to pick the onion, but I put the phone there to show how big the zucchini was! :)
