Beebeejaybee's Life

yep while I was hanging the washing out I caught them starting to munch into my cabbages, sometimes I wonder if we have dogs or sheep they eat an awful lot of greens, I don’t mind too much because so many have come up I don’t think we will need them all, I might have to do a bit of a cull when they get bigger, but I don’t want them to think it will be OK to pick whatever they like from the garden, as it was last year they stole an apple off the tree when we only got 2.
Today we have the addition of snow peas popping up and many more silver beet. after reading my Good Taste mag I am wondering if I planted the capsicums in the right spot it appears that some of them grow as vines and I have no support for them oh well I guess I’ll just have to keep them small

I have done another workout on the bench still not using any weight other than the bar yet for most things, I haven’t weighed the bar but it certainly feels heavy and it is definitely doing something for me

I was lucky this morning I took the woofs for a walk they needed a lot of encouragement half way through I must have sounded like a personal trainer for dogs, “C’mon Champ step it up” we got back about half an hour ago and its pouring I’m very happy that I missed that

you have seen the cabbages well today the first of the Silver beet popped up Yaaaaaaay they all look pretty much the same little green round leaves in pairs, I’m still waiting on:

• snow peas
• climbing beans
• Eggplant
• Tomatoes
• capsicums
• cucumber
• pumpkin
• rock melon
• watermelon

I don’t have much hope for the rock melon and cucumber because I heard on a garden show that they don’t grow very well in clay soil which is where I planted them along with the pumpkin and watermelon because I ran out of garden soil and have yet to get some more but I wanted to get the seeds started, I have just realised I have planted quite a few things that I’m not all that fond of, cabbage, capsicum and watermelon but it is a bit of fun to see things that I have planted growing

Well actually I had my first work out on the bench today using the muscle tone and fat burning program in Rocco Oppedisano’s Barbell and Dumbbell only Home Weight Training book 45 min 3 days a week he reckons, I can feel it already I will be very sore tomorrow, Tomorrow I will go for a little ride on my push bike or I’ll find some time to skip,

Another good thing the bed that the Boy had when I met him is finally on its way out the door, the mattress started getting springs poking though a few months ago, we considered getting a new one but the boy was reluctant to spend the money at the time, recently one of the dogs sneaked into our bed and had an accident so I had to wash the Lecky Blanket, the springs were originally on my side but with me doing opposite shifts we swapped sides, the boy has found that there are now 3 or 4 springs sticking through,

so today we went bed shopping, the old one was part of a package from freedom and has started to bend where we sit on the side to get on/off, but he didn’t want to spend the extra to buy a mattress and a bed, we went to Penrith where there is a huge home maker center straight to Capt’n snooze where we got assessed and the lady was very help full and showed us around, the mattress was what I considered very reasonably priced and well within our budget so I suggested that we have a look at the beds to go with it, it didn’t take much, he has always wanted a low “futon” style bed they had one there which has built in bedside tables with options such as lamps (which we got), Sound system and Ipod dock, neither of us has an Ipod, I prefer to listen to AM Talk back than to music over and over again, so we didn’t want any of the sound system stuff, all I can say is that my MasterCard is now very close to its limit but at least most of that is 48months interest free or 24 months differed payment, the new phone will be paid for in next pay

I suppose I had better explain this one, Nan is no longer with us but today was her birthday, My cousin said to Pa If Christ mas is Christs birthday why don’t we have Nanmas on Nans birthday,
So after lunch at a different cousins(I have 14 of them all up) house, Mum,Dad, The Boy and I went to pas to celebrate Nans birthday, we went out to the club for dinner which was really nice, I think Pa appreciated the company, days like this are difficult for him. unfortunately I have not got any photos of nan, if I find one I will post it, but for now, Happy Birthday Nan wherever you are

Yep the puter is still inside the wardrobe all of the crud has been either put away or thrown out or is waiting to be listed on eBay I did have an eBay store for getting rid of all of my crud through but it wasn’t doing all that well so I closed it and sell as I used to when I get stuff that I need to move in my clean up I found my tape measure so I will put some measurements up on my side bar soon

For the last hour or so I have been stuck outside, stupid me forgot to take my keys when I left this afternoon its bloody freezing out there,

I have succeeded in throwing a heap of stuff out, I’m a bit of a disposaphobic so crud tends to collect and I have a lot of trouble throwing a lot of things out but today I went threw the pile that has accumulated in the room and while yes there is an even bigger mess than before, there are half the number of objects, some are things that are use full to have around, like pencil cases, note books and envelopes, some are things that need to go back to work, circuit books, technical instructions etc, and the rest is crud that I cant quite bring myself to throw out yet, trophies, incense

I’m a little disappointed in my veggie seeds I think I expected them to come up in a few days but no sign of them yet, the woofs got into the garden and had a bit of a dig so there may be a hole in the row of cabbage or cabbage mixed in with the silver beat and capsicum or any combination of the three no longer in rows. I really hope the capsicum comes up I don’t really like capsicum but these were heirloom variety’s which are in 7 colours so I am very interested as to what the 7 colours are

Hmmmm now this I will have to think about, copied from Rae’s blog here are the rules

The player of this game starts with “5 weird things/habits about yourself “. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their name’s people who get tagged need to write a blog about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don’t forget to leave your victim a comment that says “you’re tagged!” in their comments and tell them to read your blog:

Now my 5 things

1) I really don’t like porridge with brown sugar and cream on it OK so I like the cream but you can keep the brown sugar I’ll have jam thanks

2) I don’t like cola, for those who don’t understand that includes most types of coke and Pepsi and yes even though it is diet it is still cola, but I can drink litres of vanilla coke

3) I don’t get all that excited about things mum reckons I could win a million dollars on a radio station and the station would be greatly disappointed (wow thanks that’s great $1,000,000)

4) on occasions when people generally offer congratulations I have trouble finding words of the occasion (you’re getting married? that’s nice, Your having a baby?wow that’s nice) I don’t see what there is to congratulate, now pass a uni degree or win a competition and you’ll get all of the congrats in the world

5) I am terrified of tunnels ( if the cross city, epping or lane cove tunnel collapse you get buried alive, if the harbour tunnel or the chunnel collapse you drown) but I like being in Small spaces

Been pretty busy and lazy, is that possible to have both in the same time?? we got the rest of the weight bench on the weekend it is now fully assembled in this little room, I yet again have to do a big clean out and clear some crud to allow work out space, spring is close, I know because the trees are flowering, and just in case you didn’t know yes pear trees are deciduous and that includes ours which has started to sprout leaves again
