things are slow going with the garden - with all the rain it's been really hard to get stuff in the ground. last weekend in between painting while it showered i would run outside to try to throw something in a pot or in the ground before it started to rain again. we have quite a few plants that are still waiting planting in the vegetable garden, but that is a jack job right now and its hard to get him motivated. but everything is looking good anyway, i added a new raspberry bush (jack mowed down the other one) and a blueberry bush! we still need to re-mulch everything. hopefully this will get done before june.
we did get the living room painted which i am extremely happy with. AND i helped this time! now we just need to get stuff back on the walls. i've got some great new pictures i bought at arts in the park and am eagerly awaiting wedding photos to frame and put up. right now the room is still pretty bare and not quite put back together - a project for today.
another project for today - hemming three dresses! i haven't been on the sewing machine since at least december. i'm excited to get back to it, but a little nervous i've forgotten everything. but hemming shouldn't be too bad. they've already been pinned.
and finally some much needed cooking for the coming week - lots of salads (nicose, spicy shrimp and corn pasta salad...). i'm on a quest for chipotles today since kroger was sold out.
then off to my mom's to celebrate mother's day with vietnamese food!
