I made dinner yesterday. Are you hearing me? Dinner. An ENTIRE meal. I made it, three courses, all by myself. This is the very first time I have ever done such a thing. Ever. This is a very big deal for me.
I won't go on to boast about how amazing it was, but it wasn't a disaster. I made Penne Marinara, a simple salad with Italian dressing, and muffins for dessert. And I did it all in under 45 minutes.
I had timed it perfectly, actually. It was all ready right when Art was supposed to come home from work. Except he kind of ruined that by coming home an hour early, but he was still surprised and very pleased. And I guess that's better than his coming home late.
Oh, and it would seem that God answered my prayer from Tuesday evening. That was the night I had a not-warm bath. I tried again on Wednesday morning, and it was wonderfully hot.
And I'm very excited to announce that I'm pregnant. No, just kidding. What I wanted to announce was that I don't have to buy my own gardening tools anymore. I was speaking with my neighbor (who is also our landlady) about doing some trimming and weeding, and she told me not to buy anything, I could borrow anything I needed from her! So I was all ready to get started yesterday.
Except I haven't started yet, because it's raining. We had such nice weather for nearly a week, and now it's going to rain for a while. But it can't last forever, and one of these days, the sun will come out,and so will some weeds.
A few days ago, I posted about my indecision regarding my rhododendron bushes. At my neighbor's advice, I will bit the bullet and trim the plants. She said that they will come back as strong as ever, and though their blooms might be few next year, they will bloom nonetheless. And maybe I'll only trim the one by our kitchen window, and leave the rest. It's the one that needs it the most; the rest are alright.
That's all for today, tune in next time when I tell you all about how I ordered two books on amazon.com yesterday, one for FIVE CENTS, and the other for $1.98 from the bookstore in my former hometown! Or I guess I'll just tell you all about it now.
The end.

Even though I just talked to you on the phone and you told me about some of the same stuff you wrote about in your blog I still enjoy reading it. Way to go on the dinner you made!
JENENE!!! DO NOT write things like "i'm preggo" like that! i can't believe how short an amount of time it takes to think "what the! how come i haven't heard about this!? how? so fast? were they...wait a second...just kidding... oh sheesh, i feel for that one" :P
My heart skipped a beat or two with that "I'm pregnant" statement. I better not find that out from your blog! I'm very proud of you that you made such a nice meal. Oh, and feel free to comment on my blog sometime soon!
nooooooooooooo.......!!!!!
DON'T TRIM THEM!!!!!!
And I'm really gonna have to kill you now, coz you shouldn't be playing tricks on us like that, announcing a non-existant pregnancy; that was just not fair! I'm too gullible for stuff like that...
Okay, you suck! I went through a hundred thoughts in the time it took me to read "I'm pregnant" and then get to the next line that said just kidding. Silly girl. Congrats on the great meal!
