Well, I left work at 1:00 today. What a great feeling, to cut out half a day early. It wasn't all leisure, though. I went to mom's and picked up the girls, then took them to the dentist. Not a great report, but not horrible, either. We can live with it.
After that, we headed home, where Monica called the local radio station to request a song. When we got home, we listened intently (which was my plan...who wants to hear cartoons when you could listen to good music?) until he finally played her song. When it started playing, I realized that I hadn't started dinner!
As soon as I started cooking, Kevin got home. We soon ate dinner, then I did dishes while Natalie asked me to play air hockey with her. When chores were done (for the minute) I went to the back porch and got thoroughly thrashed at air hockey by a 7 year old girl. :sigh:
I had Natalie get into the shower, and took myself outside to weed the flowers a bit. When Natalie was done showering, she came out to help, looked up and over me (sitting on the ground) and yelled, "GRANDMAAAAA!" I turned around to see mom riding Blue up the hill. He grazed our yard a bit while she used our facilities, then Natalie took a ride around the yard. So much for a clean kid, huh?
After mom headed back home, we came in to make Big Brother preparations. Make sure the chores are done (oops, gotta start a load of laundry) and everyone is settled before it starts at 8. Life's still pretty good. Dental bills be damned!
-journal edit alert-
I had to edit this entry to say something that may or may not be of importance: Those plants that I asked about are becoming more of a mystery. I have another one sprouting up in the midst of my snap dragons, and all of the "things" eventually become red. I cut one open tonight. It smells of bell pepper, and tastes (yeah, we tasted it...call me if I don't post for a few days) like some sort of sweetish pepper. They're very round, and red, and the seeds look like tomato seeds. The ripest one I found (is 'ripest' a word?) wasn't quite ripe, but very interesting. I GOTTA know what they are!

That is soooo cool that you are now close enough to your Mom that she can just ride over on Blue! And, in case you haven't said it today, You own a House! <g>

Take a picture and take it to a garden center or nursery. Brave you eatting that!
Dammit, girlfriend!! Don't just start tasting random plants!!!!!!! I couldn't take it if you got accidentally poisoned and were found laying face up in your front yard! FOX4 news would be there and I'd see it on TV and freak out.
I'm not warning you again!!!
