Randomness

So I brought my spider plants in out of the cold. I set their tray on a cookie sheet. I don’t know when to put them back outside though. There is a frost warning for tonight just like last night. The internet says it's 29 outside right now. I miss Margate.

We are like 5 days behind in reading the bible. It’s going to be tough to catch up. At least we are into stories and out of Job. It’s getting so much less repetitive and they are repeating themselves less often and it’s much less repetitive too.

Project Runway leaving Bravo makes me sad. Not so much that it’s leaving makes me sad, but that I can’t find out any current information about it. Will it be on Lifetime? When will season 6 air? What is Fashion House?

An interesting bit of trivia: Audiences would show up to one of Andy Kaufman's stage performances expecting to see him perform as Latka, and heckling him with demands when he did not. Kaufman would punish these audiences with the announcement that he was going to read The Great Gatsby to them. The audience would laugh at this, not realizing that he was serious and would proceed to read the book to them, continuing despite audience members' departure. At a certain point, he would ask the audience if they wanted him to keep reading, or play a record. When the audience chose to hear the record, the record he cued up was a recording of him continuing to read The Great Gatsby from where he had left off. (Wikipedia)

8 days 'til Halloween!

Only 8 days left until Halloween! Andrew and I are "hostin" another pumpkin carving party thing which should be fun. We got a carving kit, and I haven't really looked through the designs yet, I'm sure we'll find a good one. If we can't find one from the kit, we just got a Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon with a cool jack-o-lantern on it. I'm going to spray the jack-o-lanterns we have now with some bleach tonight to see iof that helps preserve them a bit. They are already starting to shrivel.

I'm proud to say that all my plants are doing well and the spiders are actually sending out shoots! Andrew (such a sweetheart) saved a bunch of pepper seeds for me to plant. I'm going to milk jug them and maybe buy a pot at Walmart tomorrow when we get the pumpkins for everyone to carve.

This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

Gardening and Halloween

This weekend I plan on decorating the house for Halloween since it is October and I’m allowed to now. I also plan on watching Nightmare Before Christmas. Awesome movie. I also plan on making my #2 pair of jeans longer. The only reason they are my #2 pair is that they are too short. It makes me a little uncomfortable. But they are clean and that’s what counts.

Yesterday I wasn’t feeling so well and neither was Andrew, but I came home early and we went to the store. I bought some “dried milk” and we tried it in our cereal this morning. I had a sip before it hit the cereal so I’d know if it was going to be nasty. I actually liked it! It was a bit sweeter than regular old skim milk. It separated back again really fast though. I think it works well with Fruity Pebbles (they were on sale, and all they really are is shaved Fruit Loops).

I added some more links to my delicious page. You can check them out from the menu on the right. You just might have to scroll a little to get the pumpkin out of the way.

When Andrew & I get a house, I’m going to have a garden with vegetables in it. I want to grow squash and tomatoes. One of my new links is to gardeninginaminute.com. I know, I know, it’s a UF site, but I heard about it on the radio this morning and it has a chart that tells me when to plant what. Score! The spider plants are doing really well. One of them has something eating it, there are little holes in it’s leaves. But one of the others is shooting a thing out. I think they might be cramped in their box though. There are 6 plants (5 of them are spiders) in a wire bin that is supposed to be used for incoming files on a desk in an office. I didn’t figure they’d all live. I also was thinking about trying to grow a strawberry plant in a milk jug.

I love weekend projects that I never end up doing :)
