SATurday
Sitting on my bed watching House reruns. I like boring days off.. they go soooo slow. Slow is good when most days fly by and I feel like nothing gets done. today, cleaned up the house for a showing and then made some chicken salad with leftovers from yesterday.

Now, C is grounded to his room and going nucking futz.. but I guess thats what happens when you repeatedly lie to your parents' faces... REPEATEDLY. Chats with teachers to commense and homework hawking will move forward.

GARDENING:

Growing Red Peppers

It's time to transplant my peppers I've got in the kitchen. It started out as a way to not throw out the entire batch of seeds when i made fajitas.. now, it's a glorious splash of green in my domain. I need bigger pots with cages because they are getting heavy. I have zero clue as to whether it will bloom. We get plenty of sun in there. we'll see. I used bamboo skewers to ghetto cage them to stand until I get the gumption to go to wallyworld. I used to love that place when i lived in Emporia... now.. I like to ignore its existance. Thank the world for the internet.

Yesterday, C & I went to the local "farmers market" the net was wrong.. it starts at 8. not 9. they were sold out of the good shiz by 9-30 when I got there. I picked up some fresh herbs and planted some oregano from some of it. We got rosemary, tarragon, basil, oregano, sage and C got some mint- ginger, chocolate and spearmint. yay.

Trash Pickup in Gillette

Recycling 686-8575
if trash is missed 686-5206
to set up $15.75/mo
customerservice - 686-5206

Ok, so I call the city and they tell me to call the carrier- Waste Connections and then to see what is recycleable- you have to call the city back. But to set up trash service, we'll have to have a permanent CO and come down and fill out a service agreement.

We're hangin with the cool kids now!!!

We FINALLY got the AC installed in our WYO pad! Yeah!!! no more hiding out downstairs... no more dusting every day.. yeah! if i was any happier I would slide off my chair!

We had to wait for the wall to get built

And the path and pad to get poured

Rug Shopping is for punks.....like me.

BBB has this rounded chocolate chip rug. The runner is only 5 feet and I'd like 7. OMG, I sound like a brat. We've lived here long enough that the extra carpet scraps are getting towards the unacceptable level. We've passed the allotted time to get entry and laundry rugs.

I like the seagrass rugs at west elm. The runner isn't available in my color anymore. That's what I get for being a slow rug picker. And I hear thru the grapevine they are easy to clean.... And in Wyoming that is important. There's more dirt blowing around here than there are antelopes. Although it's a shame to hide all the beautiful tile.

Speaking of antelopes, 2 were stalking Kyla out in the back yard. She's either really sly and slick or she didn't even know they were there- I will tell ya, I'm pretty sure she was pretty slick at playing it cool. Ever since we moved here she has been DYING to get an up close and personal with one of those things. She is obviously undecided as to whether it's a deer or elk or cow or horse or WTF that skinny furry funny bouncy thing is.
