dry

so, it's been raining all week, but the sun looks like it wants to come out today. PULLLLLEEAAASE! let the sun shine.

it's also day 4 of the "surprise! you have no job!" week. funny how i don't think about what i'm doing until it is upon me. i have known for awhile work was kind of slowing, but did not expect it to completely dry up. this is a rare thing for me. i am trying unsuccessfully to not panic. but still. i will not want to be a gas station attendant. please Lord, let something come up soon.



ok. on to the next conundrum. potatoes. to plant. i remember from my grandparents that you cut them up with an "eye" on each piece before you plant them. but what if the eyes have big weird sprouts on them? is that bad? ps. you'll probably not need a 5-lb. bag for $8.99 when you want to plant about 8 hills of potatoes. because the 5-lb bag will plant about an acre. rani, need some spuds?

happy day all. i will be here, waiting patiently for your responses, til something better (or at least more profitable) comes along.

B- I think you can plant those tubers,you are ahead of the game. Just be gentle:) We have a few acres of taters, here. But if you have a cool dry place, they'll keep for a long time. Maybe you can work on potato art or write a book called 1001 ways to make a potato dish. It is sure to be a best seller. Or you can just answer your phone and take the job that Carey has sent your way...
