Ok, I know that it has been, well, possibly forever since I last blogged. Why you might ask? Well, my life is just that interesting.
*note the sarcasm

I have been busy though. I have made it a goal to blog more, so hopefully this won't be the last time you hear from me in the next six months. This summer has been quite amazing, I must say. I have been busy with my garden, traveling, working and just having a good time with new and old friends. My garden started out almost like an experiment because I have never had a garden of my very own.

About two weeks after everything was planted

I used a few different techniques (including lasagna gardening...so cool!) to be able to pull off having a garden in such a limited space and it has turned out quite nice. It is small, but fertile. Rather, it is the perfect size for me right now.

My first strawberry crop. They were so sweet!

The three amigos

My garden included strawberries (in pots), a yellow squash (later killed by squirrel), a zucchini, a big beef tomato, a cherry tomato, a heirloom tomato, two jalapenos, three bell peppers, a cantaloupe, and a bunch of herbs. Everything has been extremely plentiful. I will not admit to use of steroids, although I have been accused by some.

My first, and rather large, tomato

Overall, this has been a great experience. I never thought I would get as excited as I do when I have a plentiful harvest. I am also getting VERY creative in my cooking in order to use all of the veggies that I have. Who knew that cherry tomatoes could be so versatile?

I am thinking of planting a pumpkin plant for the fall, just to try it. What do you think?

80s Party--Livin' on a Prayer--

My friend Sarah hosted another great 80s party. We rocked out to Springsteen, Madonna, etc...what a fun night!

No longer unemployed

Well folks, I've landed a job! I'm working for the American Society for Radiation Oncology in the government relations department...essentially I am a lobbyist. So far I love it!

More updates to come soon!
