I still have a Houston cell phone number.

I have my NYC cell still.

I didn't change my cell phone number from LA until I got the iphone, and the only reason I did it then was because I switched providers.

Mine's San Diego.

Cell phones, man...

I plan to keep my old NYC cell #. HA

Wreckx-n-Effexx or whatever horrible spelling. of course.

That sounds like a perfect end to a lovely day, Beverly.

we had a really nice weekend and mac just pulled out the pill card, right at bedtime. ain't it always the way. so my wish of shower and bed? it is ON! because he has hrrrmmphed off to his room defiantly ignoring my instruction to turn off the movie (a NEW one) that he started without telling me. goodnight willful child.

I've been squinting at our property lines and trying in my head to lay out an herb bed. It won't happen this year, but I miss my herbs. We don't get a lot of sunlight, but I'd like to take advantage of what we do get. The neighbors on both sides have planting beds that overlap our lines--the previous owner didn't care. I do. And I want those extra feet back. But I don't want to antagonize nice neighbors, either. So I'm going to work out an informative approach, "I'm just going to move this border edging back to the property line," rather than, "Is it okay if I move this edging that's been here probably as long as the house, thereby reducing the amount of planting space for you but taking back what's mine..." which is my usual cavilling approach.

I'm also trying to decide what plants I want, which ones will grow in this climate and survive overwintering. We don't really use what I grow in cooking so much as I just enjoy sitting in the sun amid the plants, or walking through them, and drowning in the dizzying array of scents.

I think the informative approach is best.

Mmm, herbs.

I am looking at my backyard, and trying to decide what to do, before i go in away from bitey bugs. The pile of old deck wood and junk that needs to be hauled away is smaller than I thought, but large trash pick up for the fall happens too late for my wedding. I think I can contact a hauler, and pay a fee to have it hauled away, though.

I think I will have to work on parts of the yard in sections, though. I will try to get the concrete patio cleaned up this week; it's just tons of leaves, and I can rake it, sweep it and hose it.

The side of the house is an overgrown mess, though. I wonder how much I would have to pay someone to just cut all that stuff down for me. There has to be an angry man with a machete around, right?
