| $5?… Hey, that’s enough for 8 pieces of legs and thighs at Popeye’s on Tuesdays…
Last night, I was trying to figure out how to update my Twitter automatically when I update my Facebook status. I found a couple of methods, but they no longer worked because Facebook keeps changing the URL for your own status RSS feeds, which you can feed into TwitterFeed to update your Tweets. I couldn’t figure it out, so I found another method which will do the opposite: automatically update my Facebook status with my lastest Tweet… It’s a Facebook app called Twitter by Twitter… so I guess that’ll work for now, although I wish I can figure the other way around. Anyways, I guess I will start Tweeting more now. You can follow me at this link. |

Chilean Guava…
I saw this article about Chilean Guava and decided that I must get one.
Chilean Guava — why doesn’t everyone have one of these?
Official Start of My Fall/Winter Garden…
I haven’t been gardening much during the summer, but on Saturday, I made a point to get my butt to Mid-City Nursery to see if they had any fall/winter vegetables to plant. They had a lot of variety of cool weather plants and I ended up with three kinds of Kale plants, a White Alpine Strawberry and Brussels Sprouts in my cart.
When I was at the counter, the cashier asked if I found everything okay. I reply yes… then remembered that I wanted a Chilean Guava plant, so I asked if they carried it. She actually knew what it was because she called it Ugni (its genus). She then lead me to the shrubs area and found the plant right away. There was one left and it’s now mine :)
When I got home I took photos of the plants, but I haven’t uploaded them to my Mac yet, so those are still to come.
Can’t wait to start planting!!! :)
Calli…
Our dog Calli passed away today.
This is a photo of her resting in the garden, which was one of her favorite pastimes. She didn’t learn many tricks, except “shaking hands”; she was a pro at that. Calli was such a gentle dog and a big sweetheart.
We actually don’t remember exactly how old she was, but she had a litter in 1996 and she was probably about 1 or 2 at that time, so our best guess is that she was 14 or 15…
Calli, rest in peace… We will miss you!
Spring/Summer 2009 Garden Plan (v01)
I really need to start planting my Summer veggies, so I drew up a preliminary plan. I will think this over and probably move things around, but I think I have most of my veggies accounted for. I will probably either buy more plants or sow more seeds to plant in the blank spaces.
Shirts + Nanay’s Online Banking
Hi LiveJournal… Long time no see… Dang, I haven’t posted forever…
Couple of items for today…
I been looking for shirts online, cuz many of mine are getting tighter… I think I may be getting a bit bigger in my old age. Dang it!
I’ve been eyeing some graphic tees on threadless.com but never ordered… So I placed an initial order of two $5 shirts, one medium and one large, to check out their sizes and quality. I’ll get more later.
This evening, I signed my Mom up for online banking… She’s 77 years old and doesn’t use computer (although she loves playing with my iPhone), but I’ll be the “banker” and help her along. In order to create an onine account with her bank, I had to create an email for her, so I set one up on Gmail. Wow! My Mom’s first email account!!! :)
The main reason for setting up online banking for her was so she can do bill pay. She ‘s been asking me about it, because her bills say “pay online”… and she’s tired of writing checks and buyings stamps to mail the payments…
Now I have to try to get her to stop using checks in the store and just use her ATM or credit card… so she can collect reward points too… Baby steps…
Good night :)
Hippeastrum ‘Apple Blossom’
First Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) bloom. I grow these outside, so they bloom much later than ones forced to bloom during Christmas time.
Bad Coleus Caretaker…
Today, I checked up on my Coleus cuttings which I have neglected and, um…. many are not in good shape. Dang it! I thought the mini-greenhouse dome would keep them watered and healthy, but I guess I left them too long. I will be going through them and saving what I can and take some inventory to see what I have left and see if I can still place an order with Rosy Dawn Gardens for some new varieties for this year.
