HAPPIES
* I have a goal to become more domestic. I thought it went nicely with being a homeowner and also, I won't have any money to do things outside of the house. I think it is about time I learn how to cook. I wouldn't mind learning some other things too. I am have a Mormon heritage. I feel like I should know things like... how to make jelly and bottle beans and stuff.
* While I was pondering my future domesticness at FHE last night, I started to talk to my home teacher Andrew, who is a professional gardener at the beautiful Longwood Gardens.
The new place has a sliding glass door off of the kitchen that most people build a porch off of. Since I cannot afford a porch, my sliding glass door will lead to no where and will just have a gate across. I was thinking maybe I could put a pretty basket or something on it with a few flowers, just to dapple in domesticity. So I started asking Andrew about good hearty plants and before I knew it we had made plans for a small but full blown vegetable garden and a one tree orchard =P. I'm actually very excited for it.
CRAPPIES
* I stayed out late this past weekend (got home after 3 for the first time in.... I don't even know how long...) and I still can't seem to recover. I was in my pajamas by 6:30 tonight and literally nodding off putting Isaac to bed around 7:45.
* I am being summoned for jury duty on my spring break! I will have to waste one precious day off of school sitting around in Norristown. Booooooooooo.
* Glenn Beck sobbing about the state of America... just kind of disgusts me. I won't go on...
* All of the stuff I have to buy after not living on my own for four years. And... a tiny part of me is irritated because if I was getting married near strangers would be sending me rice cookers and crock pots. I know it's petty but I do sort of feel gypped...
Anyways, I had more, but I'm tired. That's all for now...

Have you read that book you posted? I finished Shopaholic and ordered the rest in that grouping and plan to read her others.
I think being domestic comes with the territory.
Your garden sounds like fun. Is the area off yoru sliding glass door raised and thats why people put porches or could a concrete area work?
I have a group of friends who want to start gift registries to see if their friends and family will just give them stuff. Because why should you have to wait to have china and a KitchenAid mixer? :)
The garden sounds like a lot of fun. I'd love to talk with your hometeacher.
I feel the same way. When I moved to my new (adult) apartment I had to buy a ton of new things. I hadn't realized when I lived in my studio all the things a real apartment needs. If I had moved in with a husband like I original thought I would when I looked at the apartment and it began being worked on I would have gotten tons of presents from people. Instead I got nada. I think the fact that we're single and working on one income should soften peoples heart to 'help a sister out'
Ok that was quite the rant! I guess I feel gypped too!
