So we just go back.
I had planted a bunch of new planters with seed, bulbs, cleaned up my front and bard yard a little bit of the trash and tumbleweeds (yes really) that just seem to roll in before we left and when you’re gone for a week, you really should get someone to water your stuff.. the heat must’ve gone up when we were gone because the Lubbock weather sure dried everything out, but they’re just seeds and bulbs, not delicate plants yet (not that I’d be silly enough to plant anything that can’t tolerate the heat here) so they’re fine, they just are starting to root and sprout later than I was planning.
The plants inside looked great, all growing and healthy, my little herb garden sprouted and looks good, just need to keep the kid and the cat away from it. I love going to places where you don’t live, you get to see this lush beautiful new environment with greenery everywhere and plants growing on rolling hills, tall trees and air so moist and loving to your skin and then get to go back to the dry flat windy desert where you live. Maybe we should move?
For something super cute, check out Ashlin on Vacation.
I have to admit, Lubbock is ok but it’s getting to me, it’s too dry too flat, too dusty dirty and boring. I need green life I don’t mind hot and humid as long as it isn’t Houston humid.
In other news, supposedly my mother-in-law wants to go on a diet and sounds determined (I hope) because I need motivation to get healthy too. She is set on weight watchers which is fine but thinks that I’m okay with my exercise just being walking.. no I need guidance there too, a nice health club with weight training equipment would be very nice so I’ve convinced her we can try out a monthly club to see what we like. I think most of my problem (and Michael’s) is that we don’t know how to eat healthy AND cheap and we really need to.
Anyhoo, wish me luck, I’ll need it.
