Birthday Wishes
Are you hoping to give somebody birthday wishes by creating a homemade gift that could be creative, inexpensive or even both? Homemade gifts can be done right and if you are crafty or have the ability to research you can really make something spectacular.
A homemade birthday wish can be far more thoughtful than a gift certificate, dinner or other overused means of birthday acknowledgement. The hardest part of settling on an idea for a homemade present and special birthday wishes is figuring out what to make and what you are good at. If you have done this sort of thing before, it will probably be a breeze; but not everyone is as talented or used to doing crafts like these.

happy Birthday sayings
The best resource you can take advantage of is the internet! We have plenty of birthday wishes in our library consisting of quotes, messages, and sayings that will help out in that aspect and you can do some searches of birthday craft ideas or simply crafts in general. There are some very fun ideas out there including making a lamp out of Popsicle sticks and customizing it, homemade jewelry, flower arrangements using real or artificial flowers, woodworking, vase decoration, picture frame customization, furniture building and so much more! The possibilities on the internet are truly endless, you just need to find those perfect birthday wishes in which you can successfully put the idea together and pull it off correctly.
Obviously some of the crafts that you can do depend on availability of materials and your skill level. If you know someone who is handy it may be the perfect opportunity to ask for some help from them and how to go about doing such a craft. Birthday wishes are supposed to be special; and what is more special than putting your hard work and hours into something rather than just whipping out your credit card and purchasing a gift. Of course it depends on the individual, but I think most people would be delighted to get a personalized homemade gift from you.
Browse through our collection of birthday wishes, quotes and messages that are tailored by genre to get started for adding to the homemade gift or putting inside of a card, and start brainstorming of some ideas for a homemade gift. Putting together a floral arrangement with a nice vase is probably one of the easiest and people can enjoy it for years to come if they are artificial flowers. Men will probably not like birthday wishes geared towards flowers, but there are plenty of other simple options out there for them too!

Dragon Age: Inquisition – What to Expect
Wed, 23 Apr 2014, 9:56 am
by Rob Clegg, Do Gaming editor
Tags: Dragon Age: Inquisition, DA:I, EA, Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts has released a new trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition and for those of you who love your RPG, this may be right up your alley.
The game, developed by Bioware, will fuse elements from both Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 and will feature larger environments with more exploration this time around. Something that has been worrying me since it was announced though, is that combat is going to be a little different. It's going to focus more on the ability of the player to prepare for battle, take up a good position and form a cohesive team with part members which will require less button bashing but more thinking.

"Get ready to get mad. Corn has cut through the spin and crafted an important and powerful challenge to Bush and his crew." —Molly Ivins
"David Corn's The Lies of George W. Bush is as hard-hitting an attack as has been leveled against the current president." —Los Angeles Times
"George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large and small, directly and by omission. He has mugged the truth–not merely in honest error, but deliberately, consistently, and repeatedly."
In this scathing indictment of the president and his inner circle, David Corn reveals the deceptions at the heart of the Bush presidency. With wit and style, Corn details how the Bush administration has consistently lied to the American public to advance its own interests, from mischaracterizing intelligence to whip up support for war with Iraq to misrepresenting the possible consequences of his supersized tax cut and offering false claims to push a radical agenda on crucial issues across the board. In this unflinching work of hard-hitting journalism, Corn explains how Bush has managed to get away with it and explores the danger of presidential deceit in a perilous age. This paperback edition also includes an up-to-date analysis of the aftermath of the war with Iraq.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"The Lies of George W. Bush nails the case. Mixing cold, hard facts with a rapier wit, David Corn skewers Bush, using the president's own words and deeds to prove that the straight-shooting candidate who vowed to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office has, instead, turned out to be a serial liar. Meticulously researched, Lies sets a crooked record straight and shows that Saddam's WMDs are not the only thing missing—so is honesty in the Bush White House. Bush bashers, your ship has come in. Bush backers, I dare you to read this."—Arianna Huffington, author of Pigs at the Trough
"Washington journalist David Corn takes a gloves-off look at President Bush's public record and finds a disturbing array of White House whoppers. With biting wit and sharp-eyed skepticism, Corn finds a pattern of deception too sweeping and consistent to be dismissed casually as 'spin' or "misstatements.' A valuable look at how often and effortlessly the man who campaigned on the lofty principles of 'responsibility' and 'accountability' has evaded both."—Clarence Page, syndicated columnist for the Chicago Tribune
"One of the oddest aspects of the Bush presidency has been how reluctant journalists are to report that Bush lies. Reporters who jumped on Bill Clinton for disingenuous hair-splitting and piled on Al Gore for harmless exaggerations have given George W. Bush pass after pass after pass. No longer. Veteran journalist David Corn has collected all the glaring evidence. With flair, he skewers Bush and shows—beyond question—that the fellow in the White House has manhandled the truth about Iraq, the war on terrorism, tax cuts, global warming, stem cells, and other crucial issues, as well as his own past. Here are the lies you remember and the lies you don't. Get ready to get mad. Corn has cut through the spin and crafted an important and powerful challenge to Bush and his crew." —Molly Ivins, coauthor of Shrub and Bushwhacked
David Corn is the Washington editor of The Nation and a Fox News Channel contributor. He has written for the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Los Angeles Times, Harper's, The New Republic, Mother Jones, Washington Monthly, Slate, Salon, and many other publications. He has long been a political commentator on television and radio and has appeared on a number of political news shows, including The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity & Colmes, Crossfire, Washington Week in Review, and Hardball, and is a regular on NPR's Diane Rehm Show. He is the author of the novel Deep Background and the biography Blond Ghost: Ted Shackley and the CIA's Crusade.

Peter Parker Returns to the Daily Bugle in Marvel Legacy
The Amazing Spider-Man reverts to its original numbering as part of Marvel Legacy, which kicks off a storyline that sees Peter Parker return to his old haunts, the Daily Bugle.
RELATED: Spider-Gwen Bonds with Venom for Marvel Legacy
Entertainment Weekly reals The Amazing Spider-Man #789 kicks off the "Fall of Parker" storyline, in which Peter is back at the Daily Bugle in a "mysterious capacity" following the disappearance of Parker Industries, the tech company that eventually granted him billionaire status.
"This is a Peter Parker who's had it all, lost it all, and now has to find his place in the world again," writer Dan Slott told the website. "It's a return to the scrappy underdog status that's the Peter Parker we all know and love. We're going to see a return to form, with old friends coming back onto the stage, some in all-new ways. It's all been leading to this — from Big Time, to Superior, through Spider-Verse, and the Parker Industries era. It's been a crazy ride, but now that we're here, we're going to get a Peter/Spider-Man that's closer to a core Spidey than we've had in years."
RELATED: Marvel Legacy: All of the Comics and Details Announced (So Far)
Slott emphasized that Peter will not be a photographer again, but rather will serve in a new capacity. "It's a new twist," he said. "It's something we haven't seen in Amazing Spider-Man yet. After 55 years, that's a pretty cool trick, right? And it's a development I've been dying to get to for a long time."
Arriving in October, The Amazing Spider-Man #789 is illustrated by Stuart Immonen, with a cover by Alex Ross.

This Octoberiffic look was worn a few weeks ago on a warm fall day in Charleston. The dress felt a little too summery to wear by itself, so I threw on a light gray sweater to fit the season. I accessorized with cowboy boots, a Louis Vuitton bag, oversized sunnies, simple stud earrings, a rose gold watch, and chain link bracelet. What do you think?

Historical facts and legends:
Musk oil has been used since time antiquity. Due to the known fact that musk retains its singular aroma for a long time, it had been added to mortar during the construction of mosques in the ancient Middle East. In the provincial city of Tabriz in Iran, a mosque was built about 600 years ago known as "the fragrant" because it's walls still exude the pungent smell of musk. Musk is also widely used by African and Tibetan healers for vitality.

The Value of Essence Oils
Here at the EcoVillage, over 600 oils are worked with extensively, and of these - two basic types have been found to be of great benefit. First, there are the essential oils which are pure extracts of flowers, herbs, spices and resins. They tend to be very potent, volatile, and to a certain extent medicinal in aroma. Essential oils are best used diluted in some form of carrier oil base. The EcoVillage also works with essence oil (formulated by generations of essential oil makers) which have been formulated to be worn on the skin. Essence oils in their pure form, uncut and alcohol free, are long lasting, very fragrant. Some are relaxing, others stimulating and invigorating. All are excellent for aromatherapy use.
Aromas evoke feelings… and feelings rule.
Observe nature, inquire of the animals as to which of their senses is most important. They will let you know that their sense of smell is most vital. Smells travel deep within. Smells can enhance or debilitate one's outlook on life. Essence oils are pleasant lingering aromas, some last even for days.
Through experience, it has been noted here at the EcoVillage that pure, undiluted essence oils evoke pleasant atmospheres which their more potent essential oil siblings simply do not. Essential oils carry profound therapeutic value along their path of volatile potency. Essence oils carry lingering aromatic atmospheres along their path of expansiveness.
Many Paths. One Goal…

A New JJ Abrams Fan
This is, by far, the coolest thing (okay, #2 behind the palliative chemo working). JJ Abrams (Hollywood producer/director who did the TV series "Lost," the movie "Mission Impossible III" and a bunch of other stuff) emailed me, out of the blue:
JJ Abrams wrote:
In addition to publicly thanking JJ Abrams, I just wanted to say what an incredibly egoless and cool guy he was. We chatted a little bit between takes, and he is so tech-savvy (and I'm not saying that *just* because he knew all about Alice!). Anyway, it was a truly magical experience. Speaking of Magic, I got to fulfill a long-standing wish of taking Jai to the Magic Castle on that trip, courtesy of Peter Farquar. MK Haley, who is herself quite magical, joined Peter and his wife and Jai & me for an incredible evening.
the "Star Trek" movie will be in theaters December 2008. Don't blink or you'll miss me, but at some point a guy walked across the bridge and says "Captain, we have visual!"
I'd *love* to show you my costume (which they let me keep), but I promised JJ Abrams "no photos". They're trying to keep things a secret; in fact, even on the Paramount lot, you have to walk around in a trenchcoat if you're in a Star Trek costume. It's kind of like being at a flasher's convention!
Isn't that just great? OK, so maybe I won't become a Trekkie, (is that how you spell it?) but I can tell you one thing for damn sure, I am a HUGE JJ Abrams fan.

text: The ability to transcend 'instinct' as the driver of our actions and replace, or at least guide that instinct by rational thought that takes account of the 'outcomes' is what lifts us above the animal. That is, we can now see our actions as not just 'good' (it worked and I got what I wanted), or bad (didn't work and I didn't get what I wanted), but as also 'good' (morally correct, in line with societal norms etc), or bad (criminal, dangerous, immoral etc). Of course some would say (Nietzsche please stand) that this is a degenerative step, but not many could say that seriously. When man began to use rationality to temper instictive reaction he became human. Prior to such a momentous step murder, theft, rape, incest etc. did not exist as they were but consequences of instinctive action that sustained personal survival. Such concepts/labels only came about when instinct began to be tempered by rationality and (importantly) that rationality was also itself subject to a 'history of rational action'. So then a 'society' was born that had a history, both physical and moral. Society did not exist in an age where all actions were instinctive.

It has been a couple months since we last touched on Square, but it looks like the company is making progress on their mobile payment service for Android. Initially the service was available on the iPhone, but support for Android is coming soon.
Square recently managed to hire Google's Bob Lee (who led the core library development for Android) and they are still looking to hire an additional Android client engineer.
Jack Dorsey, Square CEO (and Twitter Co-founder), recently tweeted that Square was up and running on a Nexus One. This was followed by a simplified video demo on YouTube.
Could Square be the next big thing? Do you think it has the potential to transform the way vendors and consumers handle transactions? It certainly looks slick.

Impala Cresent School Library Opening
- 22
- Aug
The New Impala Cresent Primary School's Library was launched on Friday, 29 July 2016.
We had the privilege of attending the event in Joburg. It was a very special day witnessing the opening of this beautiful library.
The library is a collaboration with our partner School Aid UK and Usborne Books. School Aid UK invests heavily in South African schools by donating high quality and age appropriate books, by refurbishing school library spaces and by making a tiered 3-year contribution in support of a school library assistant's salary. We endeavour to create an enabling and sustainable environment with the partner schools, ensuring that the 3-way partnerships go beyond a big room filled with colourful books.
The Impala Primary School joint project was launched with Dr Don Matteka (author, poet and activist) giving a lively and inimitable encouragement to learners, educators and guests on the power of books (and reading for leisure) as a path towards true emancipation for many black South Africans.
The school principal, Mr Adam, gave a thorough vision and leadership roadmap for how the school library will make a difference to the learners at Impala Primary. The School Management Team and the School Government Board are committed to making the new library a major part of their curriculum.
Impala Cresent has over 910 students and initially only had 200 books – not anymore. They now have over 5000 books in their new library.
We congratulate the school community and promise them The Bookery and School Aid's support in making this important resource a glowing success. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making this library a possibility. Much love and hard work went into this project.

Thanks to a tip from jaweino about some homemade tofu from Salinas, we tried Jack and the Beanstalks fine product on Christmas Eve. I called Jack, 831-422-8028, hoping to purchase some from him. However, he doesnt have a retail license and cant sell direct. He referred me to Tokyo Food Store (Market?) on San Miguel, just off of South Main Street in Salinas, and not far from my parents home. Jack is Korean and makes the tofu fresh each day for delivery to restaurant and retail customers. He makes firm, similar to Chinese style, and regular, which is softer.
Tokyo Food Store carries the regular style. The price was either $1.49 or $1.79 - I bought a number of things including more Ramune. Deliveries come in on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
My mom heated it with a little chicken stock, and served it plain with just a bit of oyster sauce drizzled on top to not mask the flavor. Even at one+ day old, the tofu had the pure and sweet taste of freshness and a wonderfully silky smooth texture. We liked it very much.

Growing up, Mark never imagined himself in broadcasting. He always had a hidden desire to be a sportswriter. But when it came time to pick a major, he decided to try broadcasting and switch to journalism if he didn't like it. As it turns out, he never needed to make the switch – it didn't take long for him to realize that broadcasting is what he wanted to do.
Mark takes great pride in saying that he was born and bred in Rochester, Minnesota. He spent his college days at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, earning a degree in broadcast and electronic communication in May of 2013 before joining KTIV that August.
While in college, he spent four years with our campus television station, Marquette University Television, all in sports. His junior and senior years he helped lead MUTV Sports as assistant sports director and sports director, respectively. In addition to reporting on all things Marquette sports, he developed a love for producing and directing that culminated in the resurrection of "Golden Eagle Sports Report," a half hour show that he re-created, produced and directed his senior year. His involvement in student media was paramount in helping him win awards in sports reporting from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association and Milwaukee Press Club during college.
Mark also completed internships in the sports departments at KTTC-TV (a sister station of KTIV) in Rochester and WDJT-TV in Milwaukee. Those opportunities provided him with great role models and friends, as well as experience after which he modeled his work in sports at MUTV.
In high school, Mark was a state participant in cross country, and running is a love that he still carry today. He's also a huge professional wrestling fan, avid disc golfer and love watching and studying college basketball, especially his Marquette Golden Eagles.

And this book sounded so cute too! It's sad that it doesn't live up to what I would have been expecting, which was something more along the lines of Stephanie Perkins.
I completely agree with everything you said!! I was so frustrated that I didn't like this book more. You hit the nail directly on the head.
I think this was the most disappointed I've been in a while with a book.

Remember how on mentioned on Twitter recently that read a book that I really disliked? So, it wasn't this book but my problem comes down to the same thing: show, don't tell. I hate being told something when it would have made more sense to show me. I especially hate being told something over and over again. And ugh to insta-love with a rude boy. And ugh to books being split into two (or more) books when they should just be one.
Don't think I'll be checking this one out! I hate when a bad book puts you in that weird mood where you don't want to read anything else.
*weeps uncontrollably*
I was SO excited for this! I went nuts trying to get my hands on it early! I'm going to be reading it in a week or so, and I'm so sad now! Haha. Oh well… I'm glad you were honest, and I *hope* I don't feel the same way! 😛
[…] in Italian by Lauren Henderson Publisher: Random House Children's Books Magan's Review Goodreads | […]
I'm really sad to hear you didn't like this one. The cover made it look so cute, although, to be honest I really don't know anything else about it. I didn't even know you guys had the rating "move to bottom of pile" since I've never seen it before, but I'm thinking that's precisely what I'll do.
Great review :]
I had seen this on a lot of WOWs and like the IDEA of this book but thankfully you just told me everything I needed to hear to not waste my time on this one! Sounds so frustrating and I KNOW I wouldn't dig it now!
Thanks for being honest..even if sometimes it feels icky! I appreciate it as someone who really trusts your reviews!
Oh Magan, I can feel your frustration, thanks for giving us such an honest review of this book.
For someone reason this never appealed to me, I love contemp, books set in Europe etc but this never really jumped out at me so I have no issue in passing on it, knowing what I do now, thanks to your insight into this book. It sounds really disappointing and I can't believe it doesn't even end properly and you're meant to grab the next book that's not even out yet, ag!
THANK YOU, MAGAN, for saying everything I couldn't figure out how to say on my blog. (Now I feel like I should do a tiny post about it & then just link here… Hmm).
TOTALLY agree about Violet. I tried SO HARD to like her, but she kept making it impossible. I kept reading for the weird art thing and was so frustrated when it basically never went anywhere and I figured out there was supposed to be another book. Why was that such a focus of the synopsis if it wasn't really in the book at all?! And why would this story need to take more than one book?!
sniff, I was really looking forward to this one. I don't read many contemps, and by the cover and summary, I really thought this would be one to add to my lil stack. I'm so sad to see this and will have to see if my library brings it in (yea, I'm out in the sticks, lol, they don't bring many newbies in, geesh!)
Thank you for your honest review, Magan, I appreciate it!
This looks like such a cute book and it's so disappointing that it WASN'T. I'm going to pass on this because from what you say about it, it wouldn't be my cup of tea. ESPECIALLY the bit about the sequel. I would feel so ripped off. Thanks for the honest review, Magan!
DUDE. I put this bad boy down after one single chapter. I am really glad I did, judging by this review. I love honest reviews, and this one is perfect. So sorry you didn't enjoy the book, but it's reassuring that I did the right thing by bowing out early.
I hate when a book disappoints you so much that it ruins all other books you haven't even gotten to yet.
I've had that happen a few times. The ones that bug you in the middle of the night even though you should just get over it.
It's especially depressing with this one because from the cover and summary you are expecting cute/romantic.
I'm sorry it didn't work for you and doesn't sound like a book I would enjoy either but I hope you did find another read to lift your spirits.
I read the verdict first and wow. I don't like repetitive narratives too. Thanks for the warning!

From Winkie Pratney's sermon, "The Bible is Full of Mistakes"
"God did not write the Bible….
….For those who like to examine good without doing it."
Filed under: Baseball, Christianity, Faith, Jesus, MLB, Religion | Tags: Josh Hamilton, MLB All-Star Game, The Home Run Derby
Last night's Home Run Derby was fantastic. Well, round one was fantastic. Josh Hamilton's 28 home runs, including 13 in 13 swings, were, dare I say, Ruthian. It was wonderful watching someone that has overcome so much do so well. 95 RBI by the All-Star break and then 28 homers in one round of the Derby! What next? A 200 RBI season? MVP? It's way too early to say but it's fun to speculate.
What I loved most about the Derby last night was Josh's acknowledgement of Jesus in the interview with Erin Andrews. "I'd like to thank my savior Jesus Christ for this opportunity and I give Him all the glory." That is awesome! He was on a HUGE stage last night and could have taken every bit of credit for himself but chose to give the glory to Jesus, his source.
I was already a Josh Hamilton after hearing his story early in the season. I had a hunch that it was the redemptive power of Christ that turned his life around. However, my wife had no idea who this cat was and now she is a fan. She even got a little misty over the whole thing.
Way to go Josh! And thanks, maybe now she'll let me watch baseball when she's around.

Part 2 of Writing a novel trilogy
Character is fascinating. When I'm writing fiction I can get lost in the people I'm writing, even begin to dream their dreams. The mysteriousness and opaqueness of others is intriguing, but so to is their context. Who we are, the stories we tell ourselves or allow others to tell about us, arise from a matrix of particular factors, amongst them time and place.
Where we are is who we are
In This is the End of the Story, Cassie comes of age in 1970s Teesside and her context helps to shape her. The industrial landscape, the decline of employment, the cultural expectations of a class, time and place, are issues that she has to face in forming any sense of identity.
Cassie shares my own background, though fictionalised. But memory is a tricky thing so I still found myself doing lots of research — songs I thought I'd heard; fashions and news items. Despite that, there was a familiarity of place that informed me and gave the writing a significant grounding. When it came to Toledo, though, another major setting in the novel, I was on very different territory.
There was no way to visit eleventh century Toledo so I had to rely on archival material and a novel I'd read as a child, Casilda of the Rising Moon. Books and the Internet were invaluable, but it was only after I travelled to Toledo that I felt confident of this part of the writing.
When I stood in a tiny mosque that Casilda might have stood in 900 years earlier, or visited a tenth century Islamic cave-house, I felt a sense of place that I couldn't experienced from books.
One of Cinnamon Press's novelists, Landeg White. who passed away at the end of 2017, was someone who knew a great deal about 'place' and the writing of place. He remarked that going to a place to do in situ research was 'absolutely necessary'. He was re-reading George Eliot's Romola at the time, and admiring the way she took the trouble to find out things instead of making it all up.

I've been promising my co-bloggers, Mary and Andrea, a post about Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In book and call-to-action for weeks now. Since this past Saturday marked International Women's Day, we at MercerMe, feminists all three (four including Ryan) are thinking about how we'll inspire change for ourselves, each other, and our children. Additionally, earlier this week, Sheryl Sandberg launched another intense media campaign #BanBossy. It's time I let it go (and, thank you Frozen, because now I'm belting out "can't hold it back anymoooorrree") and tell you: WHY I LEAN IN
Let me back up just a little bit, if you're not familiar with LEAN IN, you've been living under a rock. I'm just going to say it. Sheryl Sandberg is the COO of Facebook. She is very, very smart; she is very, very rich; and she is very, very media savvy. LEAN IN is Ms. Sandberg's 2013 book, but really, it's a movement. She is our generation's very visible Gloria Steinem. The LEAN IN call-to-action is just that: calling upon women, especially women in the workplace, to take ownership of their careers by actually and physically leaning in to the conference table. Ms. Sandberg encourages women to use their voices – their strong voices – to speak up at work, to mentor and support other women, and to actively educate and support young women, especially in the science/tech/math fields. LEAN IN, and the insane amount of media attention it's garnered, has reignited the flames of the feminist movement and inspired a national dialogue that hasn't been seen in over 40 years. Think about that. Women's issues, other than Roe v. Wade, have never been more present in everyday news media in our entire lives. Love it or hate it, that's important.
I've written about five LEAN IN posts in my head, usually when I'm in the car, running late to pick up my kids from daycare; or when I miss a deadline at work because I LEANED IN and picked up more work than I can handle in 40 reasonable hours… those are the posts of a bitter, stressed, and overwhelmed crazy woman. But I wanted to say more than "Leaning In Sucks". Because it doesn't, nope, not always. So instead, I'll tell you WHY I LEAN IN.
1. I'm genetically programmed to do it. I come from a long line (I'm totally serious) of strong working women, dating back at least 5 generations. I work. I have degree in chemical engineering. I was one of 10 women in a class of about 55 ChemE's in 2002. In my field, while women are still heavily outnumbered, we're visible and present. My mother, worked, still works, full-time. She's a graphic designer, and came up during the eighties, advertising, power-women-in-shoulder-pads era. My grandmother worked until she was like, 70. She was a book keeper when business accounting was actually done by managing books and ledgers. My great-grandmother took in sewing work during the Depression; she would sew collars onto shirts at 10 cents per collar, and she saved her family's house by doing so. Her mother was a matriarch of a large and productive farm. My sister works, my cousins work. And we are smart and we have good jobs, great jobs, and unlimited potential. We come from good, hard-working stock.
2. Because, when I was 21, I actually had a professor tell me I was TESTY, which is a synonym for BITCH, when I, during a regular project status update, complained about the performance of a few (male) team members during a senior design project. Because I was delegating, setting deadlines, and demanding performance (on which my own personal grade depended). Now, if you know me at all (college roommates, please don't comment on this post, thankyouverymuch) there's a measure of truth to that. However, in business and industry, and in that college class, had I been "Matthew" instead of "Merritt" (which is a bad example because my name could be for a dude, but stick with me here) I would have been assertive and goal-oriented. Word choice matters (see above reference to #BanBossy). Which brings me to…
3. I have two daughters. It is my responsibility to prepare them for any curveballs life may hurl at their heads. I can't protect them from every hurt, every taunt, or every broken heart. But I can teach them get back up, trust their instincts, and use their voices. I can demonstrate confidence, even when I'm not feeling particularly brave. I can show them resilience, every day when I get out of bed, get dressed, grab my laptop and go to work. They will learn dedication, commitment, security, and strength from both of their parents. Not just their dad. In return, their father shows them that a true partner is supportive, kind, excellent at washing floors, and pretty good at folding laundry. I can't predict the future, so I want them to see what those things look like from me, in case they choose to take that path in 30 years. And this isn't exclusive to daughters.
Now, that's not to say that I'm drinking all of the Kool-Aid here. While, in my humble opinion, I truly believe that this matters, that this is big, and this is important; I'm perfectly aware of the double standards of this topic. Underneath all of the cheerleader-rah-rah, there's a lot of privilege. There's a lot of wealth. There's a lot of support. Let's be honest here, if I had Ms. Sandberg's paycheck and her nannies, I'd be leaning in all over town. But my daycare center closes at 6:00, that vacuum doesn't push itself, and I've got more bills to pay than I'm comfortable talking about.
But the concept, it's really something. And it's really something when you get to talking about it. To me, that's the best part. Because that's women, talking to other women, about how to be awesome women. And we're talking about the hard stuff. Now imagine the conversation never stopped in the last 40 years… where would we be, what would we be talking about? That's Leaning In. It's teaching other women to find their voices. It's making sure that "executive leadership skills" applies to both young women and young men. It's making sure that we're saving each other seats at the table for the next 40 years. And not just saving seats, but making room, and spreading out.
Why do you LEAN IN?

Alpha Pride. Like the CIA, FBI and Navy Seals, rolled into one and less talked about than all three. The AP police their kind – shifters and all thing classified as Not Human. When Alpha Pride comes for you, there's no due process, no day in court and no appeal. You ended up with a toe tag, stamped with the Tribunal's approval. No questions asked.
Blade Reegan is what some would call a nut job, or maybe he's just an asshole. His strict NO TOUCHING policy makes living in the world of man hard, at times. Saved at a young age by Alpha Pride's founder and longtime friend, Ozzy Fitzpatrick, Blade returns to AP HQ for one reason and one reason only. A storm is brewing that threatens them all, Shifters, Paras and Humans. No one is safe. Little does Blade know, the storm that will trap him will be the whelp he'd trained so long ago, Ozzy's daughter.
Reese Fitzpatrick has spent her life running after her father trying to prove that even if it is a man's world, she can do anything a male can, and do it better. Despite her father trying to stop her at every turn, Reese has battled her way up through the ranks to Team Leader of Alpha Prides cleanup crew. When the shit hits the fan, they are the first in and the last to leave. Living one step from a body bag with chaos gaining the upper hand, she has it all under control. Then that damn Panther shifter comes back and reality is about to give her a huge wake-up call.
When a force of nature collides with an unmovable object, Reese and Blade are the perfect storm.

How to calm down and find stability: lessons Taijiquan
This is a state of poise, deep spiritual and physical rest. It needs to be distinguished from the ostentatious calm that comes from the fact that we restrain feelings that rage in us, we do not allow ourselves to realize them and even more so to show them. Such deterrence is fraught with an emotional explosion. While calmness enables you to clearly understand your feelings and direct their energy to yourself for good.Sustainability
Ability to restore your balance. Not "closet-like", when we are difficult to move, but if we managed to tilt, then the fall is inevitable, and "vanko-vstanka" is a property similar to that of a toy-tumbler: when we feel our center of gravity and quickly return in the starting position.Plastic
In contrast to brittleness, this ability under the influence of external loads does not break down and does not collapse, but gently change without detriment (or even with advantage) for oneself.
These three most important qualities help develop Taijiquan - the ancient Chinese martial art, as well as health gymnastics.

"In my work, I emphasize the impact of the Tai Chi system on the state of the psyche, the emotional sphere, the resolution of psychological and psychosomatic problems," answers Vladimir Baskakov. In his opinion, in any occupation and a thing one can distinguish aspects (as astrologers say) or contexts (as psychologists say). So, in the Soviet years, many men practiced karate (without "to"!) - mostly as "protection" and did not turn to this "before" - moral, philosophical, philosophical and existential aspect. But taiqiquan is as complete as any art. This - and a complex worldview system, and a unique system of martial arts, and a powerful health system. "I just emphasize its psychotherapeutic aspect," Vladimir Baskakov emphasizes once again. The result of each lesson is a combination of a surge of strength and tranquility, which is not enough for this day, but also for the next lesson.J. Kamatari, V. Baskakov10 + 1 relaxation methods "We must relax" is a popular motto in our time.What is not surprising: we constantly have to "do everything possible", "give all the best", in a word, to strain. After that, you want to relax. But it seems that we have forgotten! Taijiquan as a psychotherapy
The proposed complex of exercises is based on the unique joint gymnastics of Hua Tu (born in 141 CE), the complexes of Taijiquan teachers Toyo and Petra Kobayashi (Munich, Germany) and the author's body psycho technicians created by Vladimir Baskakov. I passed verification in the framework of the Commission for New Types of Physical Culture and Sports of the State Committee of the USSR. Classes are held in the form of lessons, with a regularity of 2-3 lessons per month.

The objective of this project was the evaluation and validation of the Hershberger assay as part of the official OECD validation of this test method. This test, developed under the EDTA programme, is designed to help detect chemicals interfering with androgen receptor-mediated mechanisms. The effect of these selected chemicals will be measured through variation in weight of accessory sex glands and muscles in male rats.

Health Buzz: Chiropractic Care for My Family.
Every Tuesday I like to offer a Health Buzz, since that is a priority for many of us! But today our Health Buzz comes courtesy of Missy at Mrs. Rodgers Neighborhood. I was reading her blog and saw how she takes her children to the chiropractor. I know many adults go - but children? So I asked her to share her chiropractic experience with the Mom Buzz readers. Enjoy!
Many people think that going to a Chiropractor is something that you do when you throw out your back or neck. When you go, the guy "cracks" you and you're out the door feeling better. Then when you make the same silly mistake two years later you go back again and do it all over....crack and out the door.
There is a small amount of truth to that, but it really doesn't always work that way. I started to work for a chiropractor right out of high school, doing the scheduling and helping write down the adjustments the doctor did. I learned quite a bit and I even started to get adjusted on a regular basis myself. On a regular basis you say? What is that? Why?
I always had a sore lower back, I would always chalk it up to my years in gymnastics and my blessing of a large chest. My boss, the chiropractor, would adjust me for free as part of my working there. I loved it. I learned that my spine was out of alignment, getting the chiropractic adjustments helped me feel much better and I started to not have pain like before. I would get adjusted three times a week at first then after a while it ended up being just every so often - maybe once a month.
I learned so much about chiropractic care and how your spine is related to EVERYTHING. If your spine is out of alignment and you have a pinched nerve, your whole body can be out of whack. You could have a headache, backache and so much more.
I used to see so many people come in to the office with so much pain and after a few times getting adjusted they were feeling so much better. Once people were feeling better they would come in for maintenance. I wondered about that, why they would have to come back even if they felt well? I learned that if you come every so often, it would help keep your spine in alignment and help you stay healthy. If your spine is straight and healthy, you wouldn't get sick as much. I thought that was pretty amazing. Adults and children would come in for adjustments. I even saw a brand new baby come in. I was quite surprised about that one, too. But come to find out, when the baby was born, his neck was pulled on during delivery and that caused issues with him right off the bat. He was adjusted and doing well soon after.
Since my years of working for the chiropractor I have always thought about those babies and how they were adjusted so young. I saw and discovered the benefits of it all and thought that if I ever had a family of my own I may do the same and get them adjusted.
Fast forward ten years, I now have children and a wonderful family of my own. When Norah was born they used the vacuum on her. It made my labor so much more quick, yes great for me but not for her. By using that procedure it pulled on Norah's little delicate neck. From the very start of her life she seemed to be sick and she had a few colds just after birth. Also, her neck seemed like it was stiff all of the time. She was always looking toward the left. I would turn it straight or to the right, but she would turn it right back. Sadly, it was so much that her head started to flatten on that side. I see a chiropractor on a regular basis and told him about it. He told me to bring her in so he could take a look at her, so I did. My chiropractor said that her neck was out of alignment and he adjusted her. Her cold went away quickly, however we did have to keep bringing her a few more times to get her neck straightened out. It soon did and she hasn't really been sick too much more besides teething issues.
One other quick story. Norah had this rash on her bum, it looked like a diaper rash that just wouldn't go away. I put tons of Desitin on it...nothing help. She had it for almost two months. I brought her to her doctor, he said it looked like eczema. He gave me a cream, it still wouldn't go away. I mentioned it to my chiropractor in passing. Since I had Norah with me that day, he took a look and then adjusted her lower back. Then next morning, the rash was gone! Seriously GONE! Almost two months of the rash and one simple thing and it's gone. It hasn't been back either.
I do take both of my girls to the chiropractor, they get adjusted every so often. If I see a cold coming on, I get them in there and get them straightened out. They may still get a small cold, but it's usually not too bad. I do feel does help them.
I like to tell people about these stories thinking maybe they will consider some of the other options out there instead of pumping medications in them right away. I figure if the chiropractic care doesn't help we can always move on to the medications later. However, I like to try the adjustments first.
My mom gets so nervous when I take them, but she just doesn't understand the benefits of it. I think she is starting to understand. I feel I would rather not have my girls on a bunch of medications all of the time. Your body wants to be healthy, sometimes you just have to give it a nudge.
For those of you that may be interested in reading more, here is a link to a site I found that may give you more answers.
Chiropractic care may not be for everyone, I feel it is for us, and will keep bringing my girls for years to come.
Wow! That is a lot to take in! Norah (10 months old) really seems to have benefited from chiropractic care. If any moms have any questions for Missy, feel free to leave a comment and maybe she can do a follow-up Q&A!
And you can always see Missy's adorable, healthy family at Mrs. Rodgers Neighborhood.

Although I didn't officially register for official Cupcake Day festivities I thought I would make some cupcakes to show my support for a good cause. For National Cupcake Day you can bake cupcakes for friends or host a cupcake party in exchange for donations to animals in need. The fundraising goes towards Humane Societies and SPCAs across the country.
According to the website, "Your cupcakes will help give a surrendered cat a new forever home, rescue a neglected or abused animal and give them a second chance at a new life and provide emergency surgery to thousands of animals."
This is Cally. We adopted her from the Humane Society a few years ago when she was about six-months-old. As much as I am extremely grateful for what Humane Societies do--and I used to volunteer there as well--I am glad she only lived at the shelter for a short time. Many of the animals live there a lot longer than she did and the volunteers and staff treat them wonderfully, but it's not a home or where they should live for long.
They should be in loving homes with lots of space, attention and a lot of this...see picture below, i.e, napping after a long day. Before we adopted her we used to go see the animals at the shelter all the time in the hopes of one day finding the perfect pet. One day we said, "We should really get a cat. Let's go and look at them and see if there's one we like," and came home with one the same day. Her original name was "Finesse" and she charmed us with her playfulness, beauty and slight quirkiness.
Now I can't imagine life without her. After a few years, she has grown up a little bit--but not too much--and will soon will be moving to our new place with us with stairs to conquer and bigger windows to see outside. I won't get into how much of a crazy cat lady I really am. I did bake some cupcakes though, or shall I say, "cup cats."
I found the perfect printables online. They are technically for a kid's Birthday party, but who cares? There are four different types of cats you can print and wrap around cupcakes.
She is not so keen on baking though and would much rather curl up and relax than help me.
Don't be put off by the fact that these cupcakes have vegetables in them. And I guess they are a little more muffin-like than cupcakes and also a bit like banana bread. I was going to use all whole wheat flour, but sometimes find the taste can be a little too grainy. They have a mix of white and whole wheat flour, banana, zucchini and are fairly low-fat. A cupcake is a cupcake though. You could also add chocolate chips.
Zucchini Banana Cupcakes (adapted from this recipe)1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup grated zucchini
1/3 cup mashed banana (approx. 1 banana)
1 tbsp canola oil
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Whisk together flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, whisk egg and brown sugar until smooth. Add vanilla, butter and milk, then stir in the zucchini and banana.
4. Add in the dry ingredients until combined. Add a tbsp of oil if mixture is a little too dry.
5. Fill muffin tin liners with batter and bake for 15-17 minutes.
I was going to make my usual icing recipe from Wilton; however, I discovered I had no shortening. My Wilton cake decorating instructor told us you can use half butter and half shortening, which is what I normally do. She recommended either using all shortening or half butter, but not all butter. The icing does taste somewhat different and is a different consistency than with shortening.
After much deliberation I googled some recipes for using butter and to be honest, it all depends on how you like your icing to taste. I still prefer the shortening version although I know many people have an aversion to shortening. This version is still pretty good if you're stuck for ingredients and need some icing made quickly.
Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Buttercream Frosting (Recipe)1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups icing sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:Combine butter, 3 cups icing sugar, milk and vanilla into a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth and then add the remaining one cup of icing sugar.
Homemade Banana ChipsBanana, sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions:Slice one banana (or however many slices you need) and put them on a greased baking sheet with parchment paper. Drizzle lemon juice over the slices and make sure to coat each piece. Bake for 2 hours at 200F. These are made similar to kale chips as an alternative to dehydrating the fruit.
Depending on how long you bake them, the banana chips won't be quite the same or as crispy as store bought. I think they make a neat decoration for cupcakes though. Next time I might try incorporating the banana into the icing.
Find National Cupcake Day on Twitter and use the hashtag #NationalCupcakeDay to see how people everywhere are celebrating with cupcakes and supporting animals in need.

Must be the time of year. Ti's the season to be sharing. The last week has been a bit frenetic in terms of sharing and doing the day job of doing 'stuff'. Large scale PV, couple of biomass developments, some smaller PV's, water and so on. But also from the middle of last week its been full on meeting people.
- Tuesday and Wednesday it was Cardiff with my colleagues for a two-day catchup on whats on the go and planning the plan for various work streams
- Thursday it was the Welsh Assembly Senedd building
with the volunteer team from Abergwyngregyn who have been driving the Anafon Community hydro. I was with Justin Albert and Emily Keenan from the NT Wales and a few good friends from Community energy. We had organised an event with the Aber team to show what was possible in renewables. The NT have been supporting the Community on this project for over 3 years.
- Thursday Evening and it was Criccieth for an after dinner speech on the future of energy
- Friday it was another evening presentation on our renewables work
- The Whole of Saturday was taken up again in Cardiff by the Welsh School of Architecture. We present a sustainability module day with the masters students and take them over to Dyffryn Garden for a bit of a 'head scratcher' session
- Yesterday was a Dyffryn day detailing the biomass system but then into Cardiff again to present our work on pre 1919 building to a large group of South Wales Architects as part of the BEST program.
- It's good to share and learn from others. Now back to doing stuff!
'…oh and a session on BBC this Saturday morning.

There are many degrees of brain injury – some result in a coma which can be very deep or shallow, and can leave a person in a vegetative state or minimally conscious where there are limited signs of awareness. These are the most serious brain injuries.
One indicator of severity is the Glasgow Coma Scale. This is a technique used to measure the severity of a coma and ranges from 3 to 15 with 3 as a deep coma and 15 as fully conscious. A low score is strongly indicative that a full recovery will not take place.
Another indicator is the length of time between the injury and the client regaining their day to day memory. The longer this period, the more likely that the potential outcome may be poor.
However, there are also many cases of the "walking wounded". Those clients who have suffered brain injuries which in the first instance do not appear severe but which result in subtle changes causing small microscopic tears in the brain. These changes may not be seen on a CT or MRI scan but can have wide ranging effects on life and work. Often it is the family who pick up on these differences long before a medical legal expert is appointed to examine the client for their personal injury claim. Signs such as headaches and visual problems, difficulties with thought processes being slower, memory problems and personality changes such as irritability and anxiety.
Visiting a client at home can be very helpful for the personal injury lawyer to enable them to see how the client is coping in their home environment. I have seen a client who said they could cook only to discover that they can no longer follow a recipe but instead are heating up ready meals. Their letters lay unanswered on the table because they cannot cope with paper work, and somehow they managed to insure their house 3 times with different insurers.
Such clients look normal but the reality is that there is often permanent damage to their thought processes and personality.
I am not medically qualified but listening to the family and to the client can be helpful in identify early problems that can be helped by bringing in support as soon as possible and long before the litigation process is underway.

Over 100 organizations and businesses endorsed the Green Budget FY18, the largest coalition to date that has formed in Massachusetts to speak out about the importance of funding environmental agencies. Led by the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM), the Green Budget challenges Governor Baker to honor his campaign commitment to increase spending on environmental protection to 1% of the state budget by the end of his first term. The Governor's first three budgets have added to the decline in state spending on environmental agencies, now at 0.5%. The budget process moves to the House and Senate.
Erica Mattison, ELM Legislative Director and principal author of the report, noted, "The parks, rivers, and coastline of Massachusetts are at risk if we keep cutting the budgets of the Departments of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Conservation and Recreation (DCR)."
Tedd Saunders of the Saunders Hotel Group, a member of ELM's Corporate Council and the Green Budget Coalition, made clear there is a very real connection between a healthy economy and a healthy environment. "Tourism is a $20 billion industry in Massachusetts. Clean energy has yielded over 100,000 new jobs in the Commonwealth, the fastest growing segment of our economy. And if we really want to help Gateway Cities, we need to clean up contaminated sites to allow for redevelopment."
Groundwork Lawrence Community Engagement Director Rose Gonzalez and Almely Ramos, a Green Team Leader with Groundwork Lawrence and senior at Greater Lawrence Technical School, underscored the importance of having clean, well-maintained state parks and rivers available as outdoor recreation opportunities for urban residents."Not everyone can afford to jet off to exotic destinations for vacation, and they depend on having affordable places close to home where they can enjoy the outdoors," said Mattison.https://www.environmentalleague.org/our-work/publications/

There is a line in the sand being drawn by Texas in regard to the overt abuse of political correctness that has been festering out west for decades.
California, the liberal stronghold on our westernmost expanse, has consistently bucked American conservatism in favor of leftist political nonsense, year in and year out. The costly and restrictive state has been at the forefront of the liberal New Fascist movement as well, with violent riots occurring on the campus of UC Berkeley in response to the scheduled speaking engagement of gay conservative author Milo Yiannopolous.
Now that the Bear Republic has proposed their own discriminatory travel ban against American states with religious freedom laws, they are seeing opposition from across this great nation. Of course, personal liberty is at a premium in Texas, allowing the Lone Star State to be one of the first to publicly ridicule California for their latest foible.
Trending: Dems Can't Win An Election? LET'S CHANGE THE RULES THEN!
"Texas fired back at California's state-sponsored travel ban, with Attorney General Ken Paxton pointing out that most of the political refugees in Texas are actually from California.
"The travel ban, which forbids California state workers from traveling to Texas or hosting official events in the Lone Star State with public funds, was mocked by Paxton and other Texas state officials who referred to a study revealing that most new Texans are from California.
"'I talk to people almost every day who made the trek from California to Texas, and without fail, they tell me their move is due to either greater job opportunities, much lower-priced housing, an escape from a left-coast political climate, or just a better quality of culture and life,' Paxton stated.
"In 2015, over 550,000 people moved to Texas while California lost nearly 650,000 people, with over 10% of them going to Texas."
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the attitudes, apparently.
California, for what it's worth, earned the snarky response from Texas after years of liberal malarky. Just months ago, California was sincerely considering "Calexit", a referendum in which the immense state would secede from the U.S. due to their overwhelming opposition to the presidency of Donald Trump. When the liberal crybabies were unable to get their way, they began concocting their tawdry travel ban instead.

To review or not to review
My first instinct is YES! Take 3 review courses! Anything to get through the madness and pass the test! Why not, right? It can only help. There is really no way that studying in a classroom can hurt your score on the NCLEX, right? I've heard Kaplan has a course that's most similar to NCLEX style questions, but there are other companies out there who offer great course as well. No matter which class, here is my list of PROs for taking a review class:
- It CAN'T hurt!
- I'm a very un-structured studier, and so being in the classroom and studying might force me to FOCUS.
- A lot of the classes focus on test-taking strategies, which would be great to know since I've heard that SO MUCH of the test is about how you read the question.
But then, I don't know. I did pretty well on my school's predictor ATI… and I studied test taking strategies for that on my own. That's actually ALL that I studied for the test. There wasn't enough time for me to be studying what the practice tests told me that I needed to review before the test (ok, so maybe I procrastinated in studying… I couldn't review all of the systems the night before!). I definitely think that was helpful in studying. So if I could study for that and do well, do I need a review class? Here's my list of CONs for taking a review class:
- It costs an arm and a leg. I know it can't hurt, but if it's not 100% needed, then, is it worth the moolah? I am saving up for wedding goodies here!
- I've heard the classes are very repetitive, and long, and boring. So maybe they're structured, if they're boring, it's not going to help.
- The predictor exam says I have a good chance of passing at this point… and I studied for that on my own, I think I can handle it.
So… I don't know. Any suggestions out there? I definitely think it could be helpful, but is it really something I want to invest money in? Do I want to spend my first few weeks of freedom in another classroom? What do you think? I am open to your advice!

I'm a brand new, full-fledged, fresh-out-of-school RN! And better yet, I landed the job of my dreams working with children. I love what I do, and while everyday on the job is a new (and sometimes scary) experience, I'm taking it all in - absorbing everything I can about this amazing profession we all fell in love with.

I would recommend ANY type of review. I was told to work on brain exercises.. to ready my 'brain' for the very long and enduring exam. Mental sharpness and fatigue is usually the worst part of the exam… by question # 60ish.. you start seeing things a lil more blurry.. and start losing focus.
Practice the 'length' or 'time' of the exam.. so that you don't lose focus.
Best of luck!
Pingback: A Nursing Student and the NCLEX Review « My Strong Medicine
I may be the exception to the rule, but I say don't waste your time or cash.
My reasoning went like this:
A) I rocked the HESI, got good grades, I think I can continue the trend.
B) My school has a >98% pass rate, again, power in trends.
C) Have you seen/worked with some of the people that passed the NCLEX?
D) Your future employer may not require that you pass NCLEX before starting as a GN. Often employers will include a review course as part of your benefits.
The night before the test, I got a review book and read over the sections regarding populations I don't usually work with: maternity, peds, psych.
Worked for me.
I took a review class. I feel it helped me pass the first time it certainly did not hurt
i was in the same situation a few months ago. what i did was use the saunders nclex review book. go through that at least one to refamiliarize yourself with some terms and then afterwards you can use the cd provided. take the assessment quiz and then it'll tell you what your weak spots are. after you go into study mode and select all the content areas and itll give you mostly questions on what you tested weak on. this help me alot since when i was taking the exam it seemed like on the subjects i wasnt strong in came up.
try and find a friend who also needs to study, doesnt have to be a fellow nursing student per se. anyone will do.
hope that helps
Good points.I too am unsure.I bought the books from the on line NCLEX review courses.I am repeating my PEDs rotation based on the post HESI exam results which are required to be a certain score before moving on.You can pass the clinical and the lecture class material but if you can not endure the test, you will fail,as I did.So I was given one more chance.I start in April.I have spent 6 months reviewing and practicing NCLEX and HESI questions.Still unsure how well I will do.I also spent the time reviewing all subjects as well.Our exams are 50-60 questions.A small, warm room.We sit for 2.5 hrs.We can not leave.So, I have trouble staying focused and staying awake,although I NEVER felt tired before the exam.The exam is scheduled at either 3 or 4 pm.So, any suggestions-comments-concerns or recommendations are GREATLY appreciated as well.Thank you
When students graduate from good nursing programs, knowlege and understanding of content is covered. However, in my opinion a review course is helpful in teaching essential test taking skills.

My daughter and I started a new gardening project this week. Gardening is completely new to her, but she's got a wonderful design sense and is excited about creating some new and beautiful garden spaces while she is living with us temporarily. We picked a "simple" and "quick" project to start with — putting in a small flower bed on one side of the walkway to the front porch. We could do it on our own, probably in one afternoon…just clear off the sod, dig down a bit, mix in some compost to enrich the soil, plant our beautiful new plant choices…
Well…it hasn't turned out to be the quick and easy project we had hoped for! We were successful at removing the sod, thanks to our sweet little roto-tiller the husband bought last spring.
But then, when we started digging, we ran into some problems. First, it's been such a dry hot summer (following a very dry winter/spring in this area) the soil was baked and compacted, making it very difficult force a shovel into it and turn it over. Second, the soil was full of rocks. Mostly little rocks, but big enough to make it very difficult to dig. Then, to add to our misery, we discovered a buried electrical system for some old lighting fixtures that once lined that walkway. That required the husband-who-has-electrical-experience to get involved.
Husband thought it would be a quick and easy fix. But when he tried to remove the electrical system, he discovered it had been installed in concrete, too much work to remove. So we decided to save it and install some new walkway lights there. That would be nice. Daughter and I rearranged the plans for where to place the different plants we chose, and went back to digging. We are very slowly making progress.
Isn't this a typical gardening story, though? Gardening is always an adventure! I just keep saying to myself, and to my daughter, that we are going to be very proud of that little flower bed when we finally get it planted, and very proud of ourselves for accomplishing this "quick and easy" project.
