Gardening – Part 3
After just one week of planting seeds, the seedlings for almost all of them have gone up like crazy. I already need to transplant some of them before they fall over!

Cute Omiyage
My BF went away during the week off that we had vacay, while I stayed here. He brought back some goodies and the cutest was a German gingerbread house – Hansel & Gretel was one of my favorites and this brought back happy thoughtss!

Gardening – Part 2

Why do the days have to go so quickly?? Today is my first full day off – I’m heading out for a hair appointment, meeting up with a friend whom I haven’t seen in … a while … for lunch and a film, then I might come home for a rest before going to the…

Vacay Day 5 in AD
It’s been a quiet day today, which is good. I went to bed early last night and got a full eight hours of sleep, which still had me up at 6.30 this morning. 😉 Since my headache was gone, I attempted to try running outside this morning, but the neighborhood is not exactly conducive for…

Vacay Day 4 in AD
One night with not enough sleep and then having to wake up earlier than desired today has led to a tired Tara. Also, I’m wondering if the cloudy weather has triggered my migraine today or if it’s from being tired or a series of sources. In any case, it’s not very convenient for vacay! 🙁…
