Greeen Thumb n' Stuff

Been a while, but at least I am back in less than a week!

So much is happening around here...too much to cover in one blog post...too much to cover in general!

BUT...check out my tomatoes and peppers!!! I grew veggies when I moved here 4 years ago...the only success I had was with tomatoes and peppers. The soil here is clay...so instead of killing my back tilling again this year, I opted to try container gardening...and as you can see, so far, so good! Each plant is covered in blossoms...so now it is just a matter of waiting for the fruit!

A Couple Months Ago...

TODAY!!!!

Since I finished reading Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, I finally decided to watch the movie. The book was better. Movie was OK, but book was much better. BUT, my favorite "teen" books are still hands down the Twilight series...and that movie comes out in 5 months!!! :D (and the last book is less than 1 month away!!!)Ahh, something to look forward to!

Ok, now back to my sewing machine...and I'll share some sewn goodness with you later!

for your viewing ...reading... pleasure

Drillbit Taylor is a failure! Sorry Owen...but well, this movie was uh, lame. I am usually not so hard on films...I can even deal with the worst of them, but well, this one was just not my cup of tea. BUT, just think, it can only go up from here!

On other films...I recently watched, or rather, finally watched....The Notebook...and OMG! I see what I was missing. What an awesome film...it will be a classic. It will be one that film classes dissect in future times. It IS worthy!

I also saw "The End of the Affair"...it was good too. I enjoyed the way it was put together and the concept and narration were interesting. Worth watching (but uh, it's probably considered a chic flick so be warned)...still it was good :)

And, just so you don't think that all I have been doing lately is watching movies...I read a book the other night. Started it as soon as I got Aoife in bed (that was midnight since she took a way late nap - sigh) and finished it by 3 AM :) Ok, so what was it you ask? The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Yes, a teen book. I met the author, Ann Brashares, when I was in NYC in February and I wish I had read it before I met her...but at least I can say I have read it now! I WILL be reading the next 3...and plan to check out the movie too. Shall be interesting to see the changes from book to film.

Ironman

Well, I finally saw it...I hesitated for a while since I was not sure that RDJr could pull off the character, but I had free tickets and they had to be used by the end of the month... I'll admit it...I am pleasantly surprised! If you haven't seen it, it is definitely worth seeing on the big screen!

And heck, I am not just a comic/superhero girl...I'm a Marvel girl at that (although Spidey is my ultimate sweetheart ;)) and Ironman kicks butt!

Now...the anticipating of The Dark Knight! Even though it's DC, Batman rocks...and Christian Bale as Batman rocks even more :D hehe Oh and Christopher Nolan as a writer and director...soooooo worth watching his talent at work!!!

Tomorrow...it's another movie night (I am really taking advantage of this no school thing! lol) Girls night out with Sex and the City. We tried to go last week but there were not 3 seats together, and unless we want to wait months, it has to be this weekend since one of my friends is due to pop out baby #2 in 13 days!!! :)

Oh, and be proud of me...although I didn't get it all done, I got 1/2 of my 2 do list accomplished...and it was the "productive" half (not that shopping coupon spending/wasting money half ;))
