You can keep it...there's plenty more where that came from.

Had the oil changed this morning. I didn't smell any burning oil on the way home so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Did I tell you the reason the gal at work brought her Saint Bernard puppy in yesterday is because right before she left for work, he found a bunch of baby bunnies and she was afraid he'd hurt them?

I haven't seen a rabbit yet...maybe mine are good like Hair's, or maybe they're just waiting for everything to get bigger.

Heh...speaking of AoE related audio weirdness...apparently my computer found the folder containing all the audio for the campaigns and added it to my media player. Had my music on shuffle, and it suddenly yelled "Thank you, great Khan! We we honor you by providing you with these soldiers..."

Um...thanks. I think.

The bunnies like your iris and the squirrels like the lilies.

My bunnies think I'm running a 24/7 all-you-can-eat buffet.

I have some sort of lily that just bloomed in front. The foliage looks like a bunch of grass, then it has really tall stems and the flowers are yellow. Any idea what it is? It smells really nice...

Reading up on it...sounds like there are way too many varieties to just say "Oh, it's a _____". I'll just be happy to have it. ;-)

RE: oil change - good news indeed..
RE: littlebittybunny - okay, we have screens around the basil and parsley. Those little devils eat every single blossom off the arizona blanket plant, not sure we'll ever get any at the rate we're going.

I just finished tending theraisedbeds. Got another crop of collards, pulled up few turnips, killed some aphids, staked 'maters, and spread out some tomato/ veggie fertilizer. Hope the squirrels appreciate it!

You know, Writer's Market is not the be-all and end-all.

You should also investigate e-publishers and self-publishing.

Have you considered joining an on-line writer's workshop?

... I can have a more interesting name to publish under.

<laughing!>I promised DaBear that I would publish my space-opera stuff under my married name.

I think he was pleased ...

Not unless the NaNo folks count. ;-)

I'm gonna miss getting to see the Fort Collins gang again. Crazy group, but I liked 'em.

Well...I've been *sorta* productive. Got grass seed from the feed store. Got my oil changed (thanks for the reminder, OT...), which is always kinda stressful. I'm not used to the whole Jiffy Lube deal.

Heh...they had "The Goonies" playing on the TV there. The sound was too low to hear what was going on, but it was funny seeing l'il baby Sean Astin. ;-)

After the oil change I got groceries...my life is so exciting.

There was a bunny in the tall grass between our yards this morning, we mostly see him around the horse trailer, and in the greenway on the outside of the paddock fence.

Where have you been this morning? I noticed you were gone.

We were wondering if you wanted to come over for some TV tonight or something :~D

I *want* to buy a certain movie...another I'd categorize as "mindless but a lot of fun". But it'd involve going out again, so...maybe not.

There's a Home Depot behind the oil change place so I picked up some poo to put in one of the planter boxes.

I got some stuff transplanted around thesunroom - "ornamental" peppers and some flowering tobacco. The game is on so I've moved indoors for the rest of the day. I'm doing laundry and am going to wash the greens and turnips, maybe do some cleaning.

Oh! Meant to post that...duh. "Mystery Men". It's kind of a spoof of superhero movies, and then some. Utter silliness.

I subjected JenB to it twice and she's still OK, so I figure it'd be safe to try it out on you guys. ;-)
