hippy scrabble.

I really enjoy a challenging game of scrabble-but what about a harmonizing, joyful, and positive game? Probably not in the real world since I'm a competitive little spelling freak, but I thought this photo I took was fun.

I finally have peppers coming up! Last year I didn't cross pollinate, so I had small plants and only 3 peppers for harvest. This year on just one of my plants I have 4-GO ME! I can't wait to add these to my birthday kabob. Yummy yummy! Next year I plan on doing a more organized and well kept garden, my new job's schedule wasn't helpful with garden, especially when the time I had was presented with 108° days. Next year will be better-pumpkin, cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe...the whole sha-bang!!

I think this is going to be another one of my project ideas....

september the eleventh.

9 years ago today I was a sophomore in high school driving to school. I was new and barely knew where all my classes were-just a few weeks into the semester actually. I remember a very odd silence in school, seeing every tv on inside each classroom I passed, and arriving to my first hour biology class. I was the first to be seated and my biology and world history teacher were standing at his desk talking in very low voices. I remember seeing the tv and not understanding what was happening. I don't recall opening a book in any class that day or doing any thing previously scheduled as far as projects or tests. I remember sitting in room after room with people I barely knew sharing this momentous moment with them. I also remember being extremely scared because my grandparents, who I lived with, were in Oregon and I kept hearing that no one would be flying any where soon. I wasn't sure when they were going to make it home or if they did get on a plane if they would be safe. If any of us were safe.

9 years ago-I mourned for people I never got to meet.

frustration.

After a month or so of physical therapy I'm really trying not to get discouraged since my knee hurts so much more than it did 3 months ago. Currently my diagnosis is that my knee cap rolls too far inward and I walk on the outside of my feet so I'm pulling my ligaments in odd directions. SO...my knee caps is tapped down so it doesn't roll in the wrong direction. It's better painful and when I bend my knee a sharp pain goes through my knee cap and it pops which coensides with the back of my knee making this squishy sound and popping. Not only does it sounds gross it hurts horribly. I only hope all this pain and aching makes things better. After 4 years I'm not the most patient person with matters of my knee...
