I have the cutest cucumbers!

So, I have this little garden in my backyard. I was really late in getting my plants out. I started everything from seed and I am a procrastinator so I was about a month or two behind. I thought oh well lets just see if anything really takes. What will it hurt?

 

These are my squash plants. They are in a hydro bucket my dad made me. He's so handy dandy! My squash are only blooming male blossoms so no veggies yet. I guess this hydro bucket is just a sausage party!! We need the ladies!!

These are my jalapeno plants. I have blooms so hopefully I will have some peppers soon. I made salsa for the first time last Saturday. I have to admit it was pretty good. My Uncle Al helped me out and gave me some good advice. 

I have saved this best for last... my cute little cucumbers. I think they are just the cutest things ever. I can't wait to eat them with some ranch! Sooo yummy!!

Work

This is a topic I really don't care to much about. Let me say this though...I am very happy to have my job. I love my co-workers and have a strong work family. BUT I am so burnt out. I basically do the same thing over and over and over and over. I have worked for this office for 11 years and in this position for 7 years. It gets monotonous. With the economy the way it is and jobs are hard to come by I feel like I am stuck and when I get down and out at work I give up and slack. I am so far behind and I really need to get it together. BUT I DON'T WANT TO! I sound like a big ol' baby and I think I am. So, I want you guys to check in on me and see if I am getting my butt in gear and knocking this work out! 


I would also love to go back to school. I do plan on it soon. I lack about 9 hours and I should be finished. Yes, I know what the heck am I waiting on, right... Well, people sometimes life just gets in the way of things and it sets you back some. That is what happened to me and that will be a later post. I need to get it together and get into school please stay on me with that as well.


Sooo....what do I want to be when I grow up? I have no clue. My hubby amazes me. He is in a business that I would never want nor think to be in and guess what he loves it! I want to be that person. I want to wake up and love my job. I just don't think it happens to many people? Or does it? 

Reality TV Whore!

Hello my name is Lyn and I am a reality tv whore. Yes, this is an addiction that I have been fighting for sometime now. I just can't help it I have to have my reality tv. I know....I know...you either like it or you don't and people I love it. From Tool Academy to Toddlers in Tiaras I watch it. Sick, yes it is but I don't care I even DVR it. Oh yes...yes I do! Tonight I watched Big Brother and boy do I ever love Big Brother. The first couple of episodes are kind of hard for me to decide about what I think about the house guests but I do love it. Not sure who I think is the saboteur but I am sure I will find out soon. I kind of think it may be Kathy but we will see. My hubby thinks I am crazy for watching what he calls "trash!" I guess you could say I am trashy and I like it.  Hope you have an amazing week!!

Technology

I tell you what you people I am a little...no make that really ticked off right now! So, I thought I would be all fabulous and start a Twitter account for my new blog. I really don't know why but my bff has one for hers so I just thought that I needed one too. Well, I have been trying to upload my profile and pic for TWO days now. Every time I hit SAVE it then screams and I mean screams.... TWITTER IS AT CAPACITY! Really two days?!??!!? Thank the Lord that I did not live in the ol' days. I would be lost without my technology and high speed internet but it sure has made me inpatient. I know, I need to calm down but I just get on these kicks and when I want it done then by golly I want it done now. YIKES! As I type I am seeing my true colors. Sound a little spoiled huh! I think we all are in some way, shape or form. I do feel better just getting this off my chest. I will also work on patience. 

Patty Pan Squash

So, I know this is an odd topic or at least I think it is a little odd but I must talk about it. It's Patty Pan squash!! It is on the far left. It kind of looks like a flower. My hubby is calls it "alien eggs!" We had alien eggs for supper last night.  

I am not sure if you've ever eaten it but I was totally new to it and so was hubby. My family has this amazing family garden. It consists of my dad, uncle and aunt. This is the 2nd year they have made a summer garden. I have been blessed with cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, alien eggs, new potatoes, yukon gold potatoes, onions, okra, and different kinds of peppers. Our tomatoes haven't done too well.

This was what I picked the other day! It was so yummy! I have to admit though I am really freaked out by this alien egg squash! I don't really even know how to cook it. We grilled it last night. I told my hubby I tried but I lied!!  Yes, I did because it freaks me out. Does these little alien eggs freak you out too? What veggie freaks you out? If you don't feel freaked out how in the world do you cook them? 

I am a blog virgin....

Wow...It's out there...I've said it and yes it is true. I am a virgin to all this blog stuff. Now I will say I have an amazing friend who has a blog and I think it is wonderful. Plus, it helps me keep up with her word. Since I am new I don't know if I should post her blog on here or ask her first...think I will ask her and then post it at a later date. Anyway, I think blogging looks fun and is neat so I thought why not give it a try. Here I am giving it a try. This will be just about my little world and the fact I am finding out I am not too perfect. I know that my not be a shock to some or maybe it is but I like things to be just SO! I have a little OCD not much but enough. Plus, as I am wondering through my journey in life I am finding out life is tough and things just don't come easy. Please take some time and enjoy.
