Off to a decent start with my tomatoes.

I still have not planted them outdoors

because temps have dropping too low at times.

This way I am able to bring them inside if need be.

Boss man at hubby's work planted his outside

and they are not doing so good.  He says

he'll have to go back to the store and buy more.

Since I don't plan on planting anything other

than 8 tomato plants I've been wanting to

tear apart my Rain Gutter Grow System I made

last year and narrow it down to only one

section of gutter.  Right now I have 3 gutters

connected to one another.

My only worry is a raccoon and an opossum.

This morning I opened the back door

and there was a raccoon on the back step

eating cat food out of a bowl.

I opened the door and he just stood there looking

at me then stood up trying to pry up the lid

of the recycling bin to get into it.

He's a fat sucker.  Now can you imagine

if I get some big, juicy tomatoes growing, ugghhh.

I had problems one year with the opossum 

taking tomatoes off the plants, taking one bite

out of them and leaving them all over the yard.

1:15pm

I'm working on another Eggo recipe for the contest.

I think the contest ends a week from now.

I got this and maybe two more recipes to make.

If you have teenagers you know that they can eat

you out of house and home and that's not good

for the grocery budget.  

MANY times I have to make a return trip

to the store to buy double of things I had just bought

but the kids had gotten into and eaten.

Let's say I buy a package of shredded cheese

because homemade pizza is one of the meals

planned for the week.  Well, by the time I go

to make that meal the cheese is half eaten or gone!

I used to hide packages of cheese in old

butter or cool whip bowls but they caught

onto that.  So now I'm going to try another idea.

I'm in search of a small plastic locking 

tool or tackle box to put refrigerated items

in like cheese, bologna, pepperoni, ham and so on

and it will have a lock on it!

9:40pm

Just returned from Kroger.  Was outta milk.

Oh yeah that was an experience.

As we are heading for the checkout hubby points

out this gals shirt that says in big letter across the front, 

"I Love Vaginas"

Oh...my...goodness!

Ya know I don't care what sex you prefer

but to wear something like that into public is a little much.

You don't see me going around wearing a tee

that says, "I love penis".

What a crazy world we live in.

Have a little respect for others around you,

especially children that may also be in that store

that starts asking questions.
