Lightning Crashes

Now that we own a house, I don't enjoy thunderstorms nearly as much as I used to. Now I worry about trees falling on the house, lightning strikes, hail hitting the roof, and lots of other miscellaneous damage.

We haven't been to the grocery store in over a month now, thanks to our FarmFresh deliveries. Dave is in Portland, Oregon for RailsConf until Sunday, so my dinners have been consisting of random things I've found in the cupboards and refrigerator. Tonight I had cheerios, a grapefruit, and a couple of cookies. Yesterday I had couscous, a frozen waffle, and some strawberries.

I miss him.

I had the most delicious lunch ever today at the City Market. It was chicken salad on top of ... salad salad, with fruit salad on the side. Very salad-y. It was EXACTLY what I was craving. I saved about 1/3 of it to eat as part of my dinner, but ended up eating it as soon as I got back to the office. I'm so pathetic.

This was a pretty self-deprecating post, but I'm still getting over this cold/flu thing and there's no one here to hear me whine. wahhhhhhh

Hey! There's a tornado warning!

Has It Been a Week Already?

Time flies when you're not blogging.

We made it down to Tampa, FL in one piece and very tired from our 7:00 AM flight. It was so great to see my grandparents and my aunts and uncles, some of which I haven't seen in years.

The weather didn't turn out to be as Floridian as we had hoped, but I still ended up with a sunburn and some sand in my camera and sneakers, so what else can I ask for?

Work has been ultra rough on me lately, so I don't feel like talking about it or any other things, for that matter. Instead, digest these pictures.

SURPRISE! A stolen photograph of David:


Our pear tree is blossoming!


Me and Mr. Pear Tree, for posterity:


Some brilliantly-colored hyacinths (we think???), the fruits of some of the bulbs we planted last Fall:


Some unidentified, yet-to-flower bulb things:
