Green

So yes, we're on green now. And the first thing that comes to mind is plants. And... I'm gonna have to skip out on the photosynthesis babble, at least for now. Sometime, I'll get back to it.

My excuses for not blogging? Well... besides all the usual home stuff, I'm taking a summer class (health science, woot!), got a small part-time job (eeee!!!!), trying to keep up with my writing, and making afghan crocheted items to sell (still testing out those waters). And fighting with the internet.

Green:

Grass, ferns, moss, basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.

The last four are herbs growing in our sun-window in the kitchen. They're kinda an experiment - using actual living herbs instead of dried ones bought in the store. So far, all of them except the rosemary have been used. A basil leaf, torn into small shreds, was cooked into tomato soup - delicious! And basil, thyme, and oregano were all used in making spaghetti sauce, at half the amount the recipe called for. It was a bit strong, but very good. At some point (meaning, sometime in the next month), I'm planning on trying to dry them, and also planting some garlic (sooner than the drying, since growing that takes about 5 months).


Random Factoid: Green is a highly unlucky color for cars.


Oo! And follow me! I'll feel special if you do... maybe update more often...

By the way.... Check 'em out!

Delays ahead... And the enviroment

So, yah, it's been awhile since I posted (or, at least, it feels like it). But I'm not stopping!

School's been a bit hectic, not to mention my ebay stuff keeps me busy when I am at home. Finals are coming up soon, so it's not likely to get any better. On the blogfront, though, I'll be doing the color green next (in which I'm gonna get to geek out about photosynthesis and stuff. Whee!!!)

So as soon as things slow down in school a bit, I'll put up my green post. Doesn't that sound enviroment-ish? Though I don't really know how it could be much else... blogging doesn't use paper. It does use electricity, though. Can't say I know how green/eco/enviromentally-friendly that is, but I don't think it's too bad.

Anyway, I think I'll be back in a week...? Or maybe a bit more. :D
