Lock me up and throw away the key.  Seriously.

We have been so freakin’ busy that I almost forgot that we were going to be on the beach in a week.  How does one forget something that important?  Easy.  Just have the school across the street want to take your house and make it a playground or a parking lot or a gym or a school house or a day care or whatever else they want.  Then have to scurry around like a rat to find a new house.  Sprinkle in some of the busier days at work to ever exist… and you have a perfect storm.

Why do we say that.  “Perfect” storm.

What’s so perfect about it.  I think “shit-storm” works better.  Imma use that instead from now on.

Enough about everything bogging us down… I’m tired of whining about shit.  Aren’t you tired of reading it?  Why hasn’t someone told us to suck it up and quit playing victim to the world?  You dissapoint me internets.  I thought you would whoop us into shape before now… all we have got is “atta boys” and “atta girls”.  I expected more. 

Thats all I’m saying.

Back to the beach. 

This time next week we will be…

I will be doing a lil bit of this action…

And I’m sure Shala will be gettin’ in on a little bit of this action….

See this look in my eye… its love… humpin’ love.  It’s on Stingrays.  haha

Something is weird about that picture… maybe its because I’m wearing my hat underwater.  That has to be it.  Its not that look in my eye like I just crapped my pants.  Nah – has to be the hat.

There are casinos on the ship.  Not good.  Not smart.  Gambling, drinking, beaches… crappers, we might come back without a house – it might get spent in the process.

The countdown is officially on.  T-minus 5 days.  Or 4… or something.  Hell I don’t know, I just know its soon and less than a week, and LORD ARE WE READY.  Mentally at least, we have yet to pack.  I know I know… get off our backs.

Good day.

Might as well be honest right?

It is “someone’s” birthday.  Can you guess who?  Some blogger.  His name starts with a “J”, ends with an “s”.

Ok… it is me.

Glad we got that out of the way.  You can send checks, money orders and presents to…

WALLA WALLA Washington…. haha

Just kidding.  Thats my lame attempt at a joke.  I just wanted to say Walla, Walla.  Is that place real?  Yup, it is.  Who knew.  Actually, I think we are going to tone this B-day down a bit.  We just got back from New Orleans N’awlins and it tried its best to kill me. 

But failed.    Good thing too eh?  What else would you be wasting time with on this glorious Friday?  Who are we kidding, probably some random nonsense.  I know we aren’t the only random nonsense on the intraweb.

Enough birthday crap already…

Happy Friday to every that has an unbirthday… hope your beers are cold and your weekend is long.  Be easy.  Not that way either… I mean relaxed.  Be relaxed.

I know with the lack of gardening related posts, one might think we aren’t even doing much anymore with the garden.

You are about half right.

We have really let the garden go of late, with everything going on… we just haven’t had time to get out there and enjoy it.  The cool thing is that we are still harvesting some veggies here and there and will continue to as long as we live here (less than a month). 

We have tons of tomatoes that are about to be ready to pull, we have just been pulling them as we need them.  Nothing like a fresh tomato… mmmMmm.  Our peppers are probably the most abundant crop, all kinds of good stuff.  Jalapenos are hot as ever and they finally get big.  Then add in the constant flow of banana peppers and a few bell peppers here and there… it all makes us happy campers.

Shala planted some green beans late in the season and they grow so fast.  We are already pulling beans off and expect to for a while… wait… at least until the end of the month (I keep forgetting we are moving).  This weekend Shala went out and picked a little bit of everything, and as you can see below… we are still getting enough to keep us fed (for a day).

Pictured are some green beans, some hot portugal peppers and banana peppers (in that order).  Anyone else still out there harvesting?  I know you Texans are… its still Summer here.
