Taking a break from paper work to post some more pictures this afternoon.
Not sure if any of you are in the Great Sunflower Bee Project where you take a half-hour block and count how many bees visit your flowers…well, shoot…I have hundreds of bees that visit ALL FLIPPING DAY. I have honey bees, mason [...]

FOR TODAY … 23 June 2009
Outside My Window… Sunny, warm morning. More of the building going up behind my work…it’s a lot bigger than what we thought it was going to be! It’s amazing how fast a group of ~12 welders can put up a building!
I am thinking… I need [...]

I work at the University of Nevada…and we have many graduate students from around the world. The best thing about that is we have a wide variety of foods to sample! One of “my” students (am an administrative assistant that runs the department office) is from Indonesia and found out this week that [...]

We bought our house in September of 2006…and in the spring of 2007 I noticed a volunteer sprout of some sort between the fence and bloody junipers. I decided to let it grow…I knew it wasn’t an Elm and figured if I liked it, it could stay, if not…out it would come.
It wasn’t until [...]
I Declare…

UPDATE: Ok…it’s NOT Saturday today. I survived my mini-meltdown with only 2 Mike’s Hard Lemonades, 3 tacos, a jalapeno, and early to bed.
I was going to post about my garden today…
But did you know that I just declared today Friday and Tequila night?
It’s true!
I swear!
See you on Monday!

FOR TODAY … 10 June 2009
Outside My Window… Overcast day…maybe rain again later on? Welders, pavers, tonka toy drivers.
I am thinking… I haven’t seen the news in a while…I’m going to miss game 7 of the Stanley Cup! Crap! This Sobe Lifewater Yumberry Pomegranate with ginger & dandelion is pretty tasty.
I [...]
