the joys of gardening...

*groans and streches out back* well, i just spent an hour weeding my Da's garden... for those of you who dont quick grasp the significance of this ack i'll explain...

I live in Western Washing, US; specificaly near abouts the area where average rainfall is 100in per year. Now, this just happens to be the time where the majority of that 100in is still falling. Now my Dad, he really luvs to garden and once upon a time we used to have 2 HUGE front yards, then one day my Dad gets it into his head to turn the bigger of those two lawns into a fenced vegetable/strawberry/rasberry garden. Now, take into effect that my Dad is now a good bit older then he was then and also a great deal busyer and we are not actually at spring yet and what do you get? a shitload of weeds thats what.

Now, like i said i just spent an hour weeding and want to know what i've got to show for it? 6 buckets (ie 35 lbs) of weeds and a marginally better looking plot of dirt. i guess i cant complain though, its been rainging a ton lately so the grounds nice and spngy (good for weedpulling). so ya, i really need to get back out there... you'll probably hear from me again in an hour.

Did i mention its a good thing i'm not doing this with the sis? (she's terrified of spiders) i mean, i'm almost disturbed by how many spiders are zippin' around out there *shakes head*

the joys of gardening... pt2

wow, i burned up 470 calories just pulling weeds! *does the dance of joy* can we say awesome, especially after my cookie craving yesturday! *lol* my Da tried his hand at making pecan ladies yesturday (my Da's an awesome cheif... except when it comes to bakegoods excluding pies) and they were sooooooo addictive! *lol*

So, i'm not done with the weeding yet but i figure if i do 1-3 buckets every afternoon i should be done by next weekend. lets just hope i dont get bogged down with school work. which reminds me i need to go send off a finished beta job brb...

lalala, uber slow internet connection.. waiting for pages to load...

so, i've been trying to come up with extras for UAN, ya know, things that people can take and use for themselves. I'm still working on making my own brushes that are all pretty and useful... and i dont use backgrounds so why make any? i dont know how to screencap either (though very willing to learn!hint hint) so where does that leave me? i'm already planning on writing up a few tutorials for FM but their not what i think visitors to UAN need and its not like i really have a "thing" thats really my own special effect... and my layouts arent really all that spactacular so, i dunno. if anyone has a suggestion i'm all ears because i love helping people and giving back to the artistic community.

ya, so that majorly strayed away from gardening but *lol* oh well. i'm off to go work on a Charleze Theron wp, later!
