Today spent some time working on some of the garden. We went to the nursery and Home Depot to pick up some lumber for our new square foot garden we are installing. Hard work intially, but I am excited to see how it will turn out and to eat all those garden fresh veggies during the summer. I also dug out a little bit of our lovely St. Augustine grass and made a little planter. In it we put a Star Jasmine that already smells so nice. I hope to get some progress pictures up Monday or Tuesday. Maybe this summer we might have a nice enough area to actually have people over for a barbeque... well, lets not count our seedlings before they sprout! ; )


I have decided to hang in there and continue blogging; most likely not on a daily basis, but that is o.k.! I may change over to Live Journal, an intriguing idea that Buck and Flea suggested, I will keep you updated.


Oh and one last bit of news, I applied for a job at City of Hope Hospital and am also trying for a research internship there as well. Laboratory work has definitely been a strength of mine during my academic career, so it just made sense. Talk about doing research that really gives you the feeling you are doing something that makes a difference! I would like to get my foot in the door there at least (of course pregnancy could change a lot, but I can work for a good part of my pregnancy anyway).


Time to take my weary self to bed, all that gardening is exhausting work!


Have a great weekend!

I haven't had much to say for the past few weeks thus the lack of blogging. I have realized a couple things about my life since starting this blog about five months ago. One is that my life is quite boring and certainly doesn't make for good reading and two that I am not exactly what you would call a witty writer. I have seen and read some amazing blogs, but realize that I do not have those same blogging/writing/observational skills. I had intended this blog for friends and family to keep up with our lives and primarily our progress with trying to conceive. However, as is the way with the blogging community soon strangers are reading your blog and you are reading theirs. This has caused a small amount of self imposed pressure to have something interesting, witty, etc. to say. I soon realized that it wasn't likely that I could live up to that, especially on a daily basis. The past couple of weeks I have thought about ending my blog for these reasons. I am not sure yet what I will decide to do. Maybe I need to shut out of my mind everyone and just write for myself (of course this is something better suited to a personal journal); I don't know. Anyway I am giving this some time to see how I feel about it later.
