i will survive

schwew. monday here. all the promise of another hectic week, just what i wanted.

actually not. things are looking pretty good. but *VBP* is winding down, with emails over the weekend from various elements of client-land, including the pres of the fine institution for which i am working.

i must decompress in situations.

and frankly, i don't really work full days on the weekend...full disclosure. so in the in-betweens, i found some things to do.

....like eating. first of the garden veggies are in. the tomatoes came from a roadside stand, though.
 whatever you do, stay away from these. i had one, and then wanted to have 3.


rounding out dinner with these. to be honest, after drinking one of these, i don't get much of anything accomplished :)

i stopped at a thrift store and saw him for $1.25. he's upside down, and i'll bet you still recognize him!

and here he is on my shelf. he's greener than he appears in the picture. and somehow, i do not believe he is a life-like rendition of HIM. but he makes me laugh.

and then i got a fishtank. those little minnows in the back have renewed the interest...but it's been 25 years since i had a tank! i am worried i am forgetting things!

it's nearly impossible to photograph fish with an iphone. esp. after drinking the woodchuck.

here is my little 'shy' guy - he likes the plastic plant life.

except for when i am looking at him. then he decides to get even further away from me!!! but 4 fish purchased, 4 alive so far. that is a good start to the week!

I was about to be VERY jealous thinking you had a tomato already when mine are all still bitty and green. I AM, however, jealous of the green beans because mine were trying to come back and the evil bunnies got them again. I give up.

Not a huge fan of the hard cider, but I will unwind with a Mike's. And I would definitely unwind with whatever that caramely thing is. (hehe, at first I typed 'unwide', but I am fairly sure I would NOT unwide with that, probably just widen.)

shhhh. mcdonalds' chocolate chip frappe. don't tell anyone i told you :)

ps. bunnies have eaten all of my $9.99 perennials, but left the .99 cent beans alone. high falutin' evil bunnies.

Hard apple cider, yep one is just enough.

This post is hilarious. Did you write it after the cider??

I have five tomatoes. One is almost ripe. I have spent a disturbing amount of time planning exactly how I will eat each one by myself, without sharing.
