two hundred twenty names will appear on the newest bronze tablet

Day 220: I planted flowers today. It was nice.


Day220

two hundred and nineteen men were jammed into the hold amidships

Day 219: I was very productive, and then very pooped. I loaded the truck up with about 15-20 bags of wet leaves and ivy vines, moved about ten 5-gallon buckets full of clay dirt and vine roots out of the flower bed over to the side of the house, put down ten 40-pound bags of topsoil, planted a row of sunflower seeds, and started on pulling vines and leveling the ground on the other side of the porch for another flower bed. Then, later in the day, I attended a three-act opera (without passing out). Impressive, eh?

two hundred and six days in which no water ran over the dam

Day 206: I've been productive today. I planted some sedum and wildflowers, potted some English Ivy and a walnut tree, pulled some ivy, and got a bit of color on my shoulders out of it all. I'm pretty happy about it.

Day 191: I'm exhausted. We went through greeting cards tonight. It was more difficult than words can express.

out of a hundred eighty-five, not a soldier crossed the line

Day 185: I have several nicknames for Osiris: "'Siris," "Sireeees," "Dipsy Doodles," "Murphy," "Shit Missle," "Tubbs," "Chubbs," "My Precious Precious"... but my favorite is just "Mister Kitty." I love my cats.

the tower has nine rounds and a hundred eighty-four steps to the top

Day 184: I'm a workin' girl again this week, and I'm lovin' it. Finally, a good, solid reason to procrastinate! :^)

all said and done, she owed a hundred eighty-one dollar bar tab

Day 181: Mother and I went to lunch with Brianne and Josh today, then we went to the craft store (two, actually), and walked by the river.


Day181

a hundred and eighty pages later, we're looking at a double cluster in Perseus

Day 180: Karaoke Night! Pictured: Uncle Eddie, Uncle Glenn, and me. Not pictured: Aunt Wilma, Aunt Mary Edna, Christopher, and Father. I sang 5 songs, and did fairly well with most of them. Well, 3 of them, I think. :^)


Day180

this fabulous beast lived in France a hundred seventy-nine million years ago

Day 179: Kitty Time! I drove to Chattanooga in the pouring rain Thursday night just to see this little furry fellow. Okay, so there was more to it than that, but Smokey was a strong motivation. ha!


Day179

a hundred and seventy-eight dogs with a history of biting people

Day 178: Conan and I hung out today. He thwarted me... but was stylish whilst thwarting.


Day178

a hundred seventy-seven pages in two days as an elective in a subject I don't care about

Day 177: I got to go to Taco Tuesday. Pictured: me, Kathy, Phillip, and Darrell. Not pictured: Brian, Tommy, Amy, Leigh, Andrea, Bonnie, Lori, Punky, Kristen... oh, goodness... there was one more person I can't think of right now. I'm horrible. Oh, and photo by: Lattie.

a hundred seventy-four sweaty pits have come before

Day 174: This picture was taken at 11:30 p.m... moments before my Yahtzee showdown with Michael. The loser had to drink Jumex Tamarind Nectar. I won the first game. Michael hem-hawed around drinking the tasty, tasty nectar, so I agreed to best 2 out of 3 games. Big mistake. I ended up losing the next 2 games. Dammit. ::drinking tamarind juice as we speak::


Day174


*** PS: I'll be out of town for the next week, so posts might be missed here and there. I'll be sure to take the pictures on time, though. ***

a hundred seventy-two people were lost, and so few were saved

Day 172: Since we're low on groceries (again), I made Kool-Aid to satisfy my sweet tooth. The Berry Blast isn't doing much for me, but it does contrast nicely with my shirt.

"a hundred and seventy-one?" she questions, laughing at what she thinks may have been a miscounted stroke

Day 171: I played with the Celebrity face matcher thingy tonight, and I was endlessly amused. Apparently, I look (nothing) like Kate Winslett and Diana Rigg. My brother looks like Federico Garcia Lorca... or Courtney Love. And my dad is like Lee Harvey Oswald. ha! I didn't realize they could match with such stunning accuracy.
