1) Gardening 101

Yes, I finally planted those poor, neglected seeds today.  I am optimistic, and very aware how ambitious I sound.  Something will grow, I'm just not sure how well, or what percentage will.  I now have a very full folding table occupying half of my room.  We (me and Lilly) also chose the coldest day in a month to stand outside, fill those little starter cups, and plant the seeds.  She lasted 5 minutes before she whinned and begged to go in.  Which made me question the Little Buffalo experience, but oh well. 

2) Cameras

I have successfully broken 2 out of 2 of my cameras.  The first break was with my most expensive, and cherished camera.  I dropped it outside on the cement. That will do it.  Thank goodness the lense is intact and it's just the battery holder which needs TLC. 

Which left me with my other camera, good for sporting events, bars, and places where you don't carry a purse, but you have jean pockets.  Not used for detailed pictures.  Not ideal for nature shots.  It simply stopped working today, and the lense won't close. 

YES, this is the most picturesque time of the year.  Cherry blossoms, tulips, daffodils, bees, butterflies, easter baskets, and not to mention every single picture that I want to take of this engagement period.  I am left with nothing.  

3) Pittsburgh post

I know.  I haven't even posted how he proposed or the shennanigans from our trip last weekend.  I need pictures to show you and I have no way to put them on this computer.  So, I'll set the scene:  shots of us in sunglasses driving, a heart made up of starburst that I made on the dashboard and K saying, "Hurry up and take it, I have to turn!!", pictures of planes making white lines in the sky, me excited and all, wardrobe change at a rest stop, ring pop shots, incline in Pittsburgh, city shots, contemplative shot of K (little did I know), post-crying shots (good tears), ring shot, ring shot, couple shot, couple shot, look how cool our shoes look shot, inside the Grand Concourse, Pittsburgh at night, shennanigan photos from there on out.  See? It adds to the blog. 

4) Seattle

Because I'm from Seattle, that's where we're going to get married.  And because I love Seattle so much, we're going to try to make our out-of-town guests fall in love with it too.  How do you do that, you ask?   TOM DOUGLAS CATERING!!!!!!! Whoo-hoo!! Nothing's final, but things are happening.  We are going to meet with Jessica Prince in June, when we're out next.  And that means tastings!!!! Heaven. 

Also, for our out-of-towners, we're planning a Seattle itinerary, complete with the Duck Tour, Underground Tour, Space Needle, Ivars, Seattle Center, and the Aquarium.  It will be legendary.  In like a year and a half. 


I will continue mourning for my cameras, snugglin with the pup, coercing those little seedlings, and dreaming big dreams this week.
