Wedding Blog

Okay so we finally as of this weekend have set a wedding date. hurray! I started a wedding blog so you can check it out here: http://ericlindsayswedding.blogspot.com/

so very very sleepy

so my week of night shifts is over, finally! The only think that sucks is that because I'm oh so very busy and important I don't get to go home and sleep when I get back to Madison at noon. I have to go into work until 6PM. woot woot! I love staying awake for more than 24 hours straight. Well I am going to take a nap on the airplane just because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to stay awake.

However, I do have the whole weekend off before I leave for TX again very early on Monday morning. I know my garden definitely needs some attention this weekend. I also think I'll try to sew and organize the house a bit. In other words, I don't think I'll be leaving the house this weekend, except maybe to go to the Paoli farmers market, but that's only 5 minutes away.

Have yourself a happy Friday!

Updates!

Well, I'm in Dallas for the week working very weird hours 6pm-6am. So we'll see how this goes. The good news is that I finally found a grocery store around so I can get fruits and veggies. And even better it's a whole foods so that's super fresh and yummy fruits and veggies. Even if I can't eat totally raw meals, at least all my snacks can be raw. And it's important to know that I snack significantly more than I eat regular meals. Snacking really accounts for 75% of my food intake for the day. I love snacks.
I also have a very nice workout facility here so I'm going to try to fit some working out in as well. wish me luck!

Otherwise things are going well. My garden is looking fabulous. Still having some way too much grass issues, but my plants are winning. I will be spending several hours in the garden this weekend. The big problem right now is that the mosquitoes are terrible! I need some bug spray for sure. Also thinking of planting some marigolds in the garden since they supposedly keep mosquitoes away.

I'm also anxiously awaiting next week. I have Thursday and Friday off. I can hardly imagine a 4 day weekend! Crazy!

Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Random Updates

alright some random updates.

decided to jump on the raw food bandwagon. So far so good. Today was the first day that I actually made something other than salad (only did that for a few days). I think the most fun thing is how creative the food is. Made some delicious spinach sauce stuff (made with spinach from my garden) and put it over zucchini with fresh tomatoes. Also made some delicious lemon coconut bars. so amazing!!! we'll have to see how this goes with traveling so much. Hopefully I can keep it to 75% of my diet.

also, need to get back on the working out bandwagon. so i plan to attempt to fit that back into my life this week.

I will be in STL this week. exciting! I am longing for a week at home.... so sad.

garden is going pretty good. We had put up one fence, but it wasn't that awesome. and it was kind of sad to look at. it was black plastic. so we went to look for new stakes, but then decided to just use the stakes we have and redo the garden with wire chicken fencing. it's much more beautiful now. Although there was an incident of a bunny getting into the garden tonight. My spinach is ready for harvesting so that's exciting. Green beans and tomatoes are growing quite well. All very exciting.

have a great week!

Busy Little Bee

Sorry for my lack of posting. I worked over 90 hours last week, but my customer is up and running! Which means this week will be better. I have today off as a recovery day. I have another customer going live today that I'm supporting remotely, but hey at least I get to do that in my pajamas. This week will be back to normal except that I'm working 3-11 pm. So it's a little confusing/nice to have the whole day at home and then go into work.

So some general updates
-for those of you who are curious, wedding planning is starting to move forward. I will fill in more details as I get them. Actually I'm going to post a separate blog of wedding planning.
-puppies are fantastic as usual
-the garden is coming along. We had a ton of rain this past week and I haven't been able to work on it too much so the grass is taking over. This week I plan to defeat the grass once and for all
