we drink the coffee

hey-o ya'll.  today is a magnificently lazy day for the me!  mostly reading, lazing in bed, messing on the internet... etc.  did a little tidying of the house and sech but nothing major.  moved my tomato seedlings (they are bigger now... i guess they are plantlings mow??) into the   topsy turvy tomato planter
it's heavy as hell.  secured on the outside of my fire escape.  hope it won't bother my neighbors or get me in trouble.  strawberry seeds have yet to germinate.  hopefully not duds.  oregano's doing fine, a little yellow, nitrogen might be off, made an adjustment.  dittocat has nice cat grass i grew him :)  he loves to munch on that :)  big ups to henry for the mini aqua globes.  total necessity for the lazy container gardener.






Speaking of laziness I've got plenty.  hmm.  I need to do the dishes and the laundry b/t tonight and tomorrow, refill a prescription and cook for the week and straighten up the house some more.  That part never ends!!

look-robosaurus laid a pedi egg!


And I need to workout.  because i am SO LAZY.  how lazy am i?  (answer in comment section please)




This is mort.  he is my new crawdad.  he lives in the tank with my turtle (lahsanna) and her food-fish. i like to eat crawdads but i'm not gonna eat mort.  because he's a pet. and he eats yucky things that would otherwise make the tank much dirtier.

 
i like drinking coffee.  i think i will make some now, or maybe a shake.  i made the best shake ever last night with my relatively new  blender.  it was banana, kefir, mango, cherry juice and pear juice and it rocked!  i froze some b/c i had extra so i will put that in today's smoothie.  i like having smoothies for lunch or breakfast b/c they don't make me tired like big meals.

my blender is from proctor silex and i bought it at pc richards.  it's pretty good considering the low price and it handles ice better than my old one.  but it is LOUD LOUD LOUD and the design not the best for cleaning.

ok i'm tired of writing my blog.  leave me comments it cheers me :)  bye!
oh yeah and i have to wear my old glasses for like another five days until my new ones come or i get contacts in the mail.  my eye finally healed from the inflammation it was experiencing thank g-d!

last night i fell down and hit my head. today i slept all day. this weekend was very strange. i went to a party and fell for this beautiful young girl, pre-med at fordham. i am trying to wait until wednesday to write to her. she plays the basoon and she's reading the same novel as me which is house of leaves House of Leaves). i never met a girl who was reading or had read that.then saturday morning i got up andhopped on the train to manhattan and then the amtrak to rhinebeck. there i saw my nana and she taught me to make kefir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir. she's starting to lose her memory so it was really cool that she was able to teach me and my sister something she knew and we didn't. she's been making kefir from the same started strain for thirty years! and now my sister and i are both making it. i am experimenting with different milks. my nana uses 2%. so far i've tried 1% regular milk,1% organic, and 2% regular. the organic was the best flavor so far. after visiting with nana (we took her out for pizza and sh said she hadn't had pizza in eight years and it was such a hoot!) i tried to get a train home to nyc but it was sold out. so my sister convinced me to stay with her and she would drive me to albany and ic ould see my dad before heading back to the city monday morning. so we went to see my mama's grave, and pop-pop too. we put little stones on the graves and cried and prayed together. i love my sister very much. then we went back to rhinebeck (my mom is buried in redhook) and we went to an awesome restaurant there called http://www.terrapinrestaurant.com which was so beautiful and lovely and the food was delicious! i had organic free range chicken breast with pesto mozzerella tomato on a ciabbata bread.then we went to albany and i went to my dada's house. i had a good night talking with my dad about god and death and life and getitng married and having babies and other stuff ... then i went to sleep. i love my dad very much. he has always been there for me, when i really needed him, at least since my adolescence into adulthood.\
