The bunny

The bunny.... lately, the rabbits have been getting bolder and hanging out right around the house.

Herb Garden

Chris planted an herb garden. He made some chicken pesto the other night with some of the fresh basil. It was wonderful. He planted cilantro, parsely, chives, basil, and some catnip (for Willy)

Plantains

Chris cooked a Cuban meal the other night, here's a shot of some fried plantains. The steak was great too.

Helen

A photo from Downtown Helen, GA. We had a great trip. Relaxed and ate a lot of German food. We needed that break so badly.

The new camera batteries were great. Don't know why I waited so long to buy some new ones.

Batteries

YAY! The new rechargable batteries for my camera came in! I've been needing them for so long, these are the first new batteries I've gotten since I got my camera 6 years ago. The ones I have will still charge, but they don't last long. Chris found them for me on http://www.batterybarn.com/. The price was great, free shipping in the US and Canada for any purchase over $30, so I was able to get 3 for what I was willing to spend instead of 2.

I plan on trying them out this weekend. Chris and I are going to Helen, GA tomorrow. We rented a cabin with a mountain view for Saturday night. I'm looking forward to relaxing. I even took today off of work so I could get ready for the trip. I need a break, even if only a short one. We are looking forward to having some German food.

Spring Cleaning

Okay, so I moved in my house just over a year ago. Boxes got piled into what was to be the guest room. Then a few months later, Chris moved in and more boxes got piled in that room. So much so that we started calling it the box room.

Well........ I can't take it anymore! I took a deep breath and went in there this morning and started going through boxes. I've made a lot of progress, but have a ways to go. I have stuff spread out all over the entire house. So, that will be motivation for me to see this through.

I have a bunch of boxes and trash to take to the dump, a pile of things to donate to a co-worker's church's yard sale, a pile of things to make a second pass at to pare it down even more.

In addition to all of that, I did all of the laundry, cleaned up the kitchen 3 times, managed to fit in watching Desparate Housewives and make this post. But, it is getting time for bed since the work week will be starting bright and early tomorrow.

Another new restaurant

Last night, we ate at a Chinese restaurant we'd never eaten at before. I've seen it, but had never considered it. We wanted more than your typical fast food Chinese. So, we were surprised - nice decor. Service was pretty good, food was pretty good, not outstanding, but it was good. Prices were reasonable. Funny how I've ridden by the place many, many times over the years, have never really heard any comments about people eating there - just never paid it any attention. It is in the old Steak and Ale building and there were a lot of people eating there. A couple of weeks ago when we found the little seafood restaurant that we had just ignored, and then were pleasantly surprised, I started thinking about other restaurants we might be missing out on. So, this one came to mind. I'm going to have to start paying more attention.
