my plants are finally coming up!!! I came home from work today and there are little green shoots sprouting up all over!!! I feel so proud lol. That is probably silly, but it just feels good to be giving back to the earth in some way, that also makes my yard beautiful! I planted a bunch of wildflowers, mums, and some other things too. I will keep you updated.

I am going to call Michaels tomorrow to find out when the next cake making class will be. I really want to do this. I was actually thinking that perhaps if I got good at it, I could make my own cake for my wedding in October. Wish me luck!!!

i dont really know, ive been doing them since i was little. horozontal and vertical.

today my word was foursquare. Which I have to be honest, I thought that was a game kids played on the playground lol.

Meaning: done with conviction

ie: Kelly was passionate about the topic, and was foursquare in her speech.

So I subscribed to get a word of the day email. I am hoping that I can stay disciplined enough to actually read them, and not just delete them. I know that I need to do this, not just for the vocab, but I am a horrible speller.( I just asked my bf how to spell disciplined, lol ) Hopefully this will help.

I have this insane fear of sharks. I think it could possibly be a phobia, if there is even one. I dream about them ( more like nightmares), I think about them during the day. When I see one on tv I automatically change the channel. I must admit though that there is a minuscule part of me that is fascinated by them. I often find myself switching the channel back over it a few times, just to see if I can catch a glimpse of one. I dont know if it is the fear itself that attracts me, and also yet pushes me away. My friends and family are all also aware of this phobia of mine, and have come accumtomed to know not to watch Jaws around me. The music itself sets me off into a panic attack. My heart beats faster and I actually get into a cold sweat. I know this is not healthy…. but I truly want to face my fear. I want to get in there and be inches away from a huge shark. Weather or not I will ever actually do this is really up in the air. I think I am going to start this summer. I think I am going to take a trip to Ripley’s aquarium. We will see how well that goes.

As of today I have read so many Jodi Picoult books. She is my favorite author. Here is the list so far:

1. My sister’s Keeper
2. The Pact
3. The Tenth Circle
4. Vanishing Acts
5. Salem Falls
6. Plain Truth
7. Keeping Faith
8. currently reading Harvesting the Heart.

So, I planted some flowers in pots outside my house this week. It was actually kind of theraputic. i like coming home from work and seeing what has grown and changed. It is also just nice to be outside more. I want my son to love the outdoors. I feel like so many kids these days are couch potatoes. I want him to enjoy being outside and enjoy plants and animals too. I think i want to teach him how to water them, so he will feel like he is helping me. Patrick, my fiance, helped me to plant them. It was nice to do this together. I am hoping that they actually grow….. and stay alive.

At work the other day, a homeless man came into my store, as they often do. He is a very nice man, but is often shyed away from because he does not have the best odor, and of course people just do not care for homeless people. People tend to not like things that make them uncomfortable. He comes through my line at work probably about once a week, often just buying dog food for his two dogs. It amazes me that this man is so selfless that he buys dog food instead of buying food for himself. I have often thought about giving him money, or just paying for his purchase, but I do not want to embarrass him. I decided to just go for it and I casually slipped him the few dollars I had in my pocket along with his reciept. I fiqured this way no one would really notice, and if they did, they might just think I was giving him change. He graciously took the money and said thank you several times before making his way to the door. I wonder how do I have so many posessions, when all this man has is what he can carry? He pushes around an old shopping cart contraption, that has been pieced together with various other items he has probably found along his travels. I wonder when the last time was he had someone hug him? I think about where his family is if he even has any left. And most of all I wonder about his mother. I am a mother now, of a wonderful baby boy, who I pray never faces these circumstances. Whoever his mother is, I pray for her. My heart hurts to think of her worrying about her son, or worse… not worrying.
