Week with the Girls

Well, Jessica and Claire left today after spending the week here. Jessica had lots of fun at her conference, and Claire had lots of fun (I hope) playing the Sims 2 all day every day. We went to Best Buy several times (alas, no Wii’s in stock … ever), went out to eat a lot, watched a movie, shopped at Half-Price books, got coffee several times, etc. Caspian was very happy to have extra attention-givers around, and Kory and I even made St. Patrick’s Day breakfast! All in all, it was a fun week.
Ok, now I’m off to go play with my new virtual aquarium Kory got me. :)

Promotion!

I got a promotion! Yayy! I start Monday, and I’m still at work right now moving all my files to the new office.

I also finished (finally) the wedding DVD. Anybody who wants a copy let me know.

Jessica and Claire are here for Spring Break. Jessica is doing some space conference, and Claire is playing the Sims 2 and babysitting Caspian. Ah, to be in high school again! Wait, what am I saying? Anyway, I get tomorrow off and I’ll finally get to have some fun with them!

YAY PROMOTION!

Garden

I went to the garden store today and got some plants; Caspian and I put them together this afternoon! I called Papa for advice on what to buy, and here’s what I wound up with:

Vegetable Garden

  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Regular tomatoes
  • Bell peppers
  • Hot banana peppers
  • Strawberries

Flower Garden

  • Marigolds
  • Ageratum
  • Unidentified Red Flowers
  • 2 kinds of unidentified Purple Flowers
  • Scottish Moss
  • 2 kinds of Fern

I also got some green onion seeds but I ran out of room in the flower box. I probably put too much in the flower boxes anyway … Oh well, here’s hoping they’ll grow!

In other news … Caspian got neutered yesterday! :( Kory went to a crawfish boil today but I stayed home to nurse the invalid. I think the garden cheered him up (as did the dirt he managed to eat).
