WOW, I've been away for a long time!! I'm back now though and ready to party! There's been a lot going on since the last time I posted, so let's get started.......

Ugh.
I got laid off (super long story and it involved my attorney), which turned out to be a pretty good thing. I was already looking to move on because I hated my unethical boss and the daily bore that is a dental office. I'm now on the hunt for a "city" job, so I'm being kind of picky with potential job offers. Been enjoying sleeping in everyday and taking care of the house and yard. "Funemployment" has been MUCH less stressful than working, so bonus there! I've also been taking care of Mario and helping out with The Dub Shop - I learned how to solder! |

| Some of last year's lilies |
The weather finally dried out enough for me to get my vegetable garden planted. Only a month late. This year I planted two varieties of zucchini, summer squash, butternut squash, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, snow peas, two varieties of beans, three varieties of tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, wheatgrass and green onions. There's a ton of herbs that weathered over from the last few years in pots on the deck too. I also managed to get my three hanging baskets up, add several new varieties of lilies to the beds and stuff some petunias into the naked spots. It's going to be another busy summer of watering! Now all that's left to do is lay down fresh bark in the front and back beds. That's going to have to wait for a really nice weekend because I'm not shoveling water logged bark in the rain.

| My danger bike with booze/snack attachment |
Let's move onto danger bikes. HA! Mario and I picked a couple of danger bikes last month. Mario is really, really into rallying with the boys on these things. Mine just stays clean and hauls booze and snacks!
A few Saturdays ago everyone got together to celebrate a couple of birthdays and the gorgeous weather. The danger bikes came out and the bonfire got started! We had a great time and the injuries were minimal. ;) Speaking of danger bikes.....

Tomorrow, we're leaving for some super awesome Memorial Day camping. SO EXCITED!!! We're sticking fairly close to home this year, only by shear luck. The property that we camped at last year in Concrete was being re-purposed this year, but luckily a friend of a friend has 40 acres on the river in the next town over. The danger bikes and quads are ready, the big cooler is already packed with booze and mixers and is ready to rock!! YES! I posted some highlight shots from last year's shenanigans - Enjoy!
