So yesterday I showed you my basil cutting growing roots, as well as the pot I decorated here, but here they are together!

Also, the pomegranate tree that I planted back in September 2009, finally has its first fruit!

Update: Benji is disgruntled that I did not give the others involved any credit for this pomegranate. My bad. Benji & I bought the pomegranate tree (really more like a bush) together, and subsequently had my dad arrange digging a hole and actually putting it in the ground.

Bad News…

Ugh, bad news kids…I haven’t run since the first time!! Ack! I’m so disappointed in myself!  But truth is, I really haven’t had a chance!

OK, a little explanation: my boyfriend and his siblings are opening a Salvatore Ferragamo store here in Nassau and I was helping out a lot to try and hurry things along as much as possible. After work on Friday I went over there to help, from about 5-10pm.

my beautiful handiwork!

some of my beautiful handiwork!

The store was finally somewhat operational by the end of Friday evening!! Yayyyy! And -my boyfriend made the inaugural sale! Wooo! :) And thennnn we worked Saturday evening from 8pm-11pm, and again for the morning shift on Sunday, 10am-1pm, and thennnn, well…Sunday afternoons are now totally devoted to football. :-| Joy.

Yesterday, after work, I was lame and spent the afternoon trying to catch up on House season 5 in time for the premiere, but…I didn’t get thru all of them…so I have no choice but to continue that marathon this evening! 13 down, 11 to go…:)

I could watch him all day!

So, long story short, I’m  full of excuses very busy lately.

In better (other?) news, I have a few other things I’m currently “trying” and will be posting about asap:

#1 is I’m trying to sprout and grow my own vegetables this fall in an attempt to a) be healthy, b) save money, c) learn how.

#2 is I’ve planted 2 new trees, a Barbados Cherry and a Pomegranate! And both (!) have blossoms on them, and will hopefully be bearing fruit shortly! (the cherry has actually had a few already!)

#3 is a composting effort which began several weeks ago (before I had this blog) so I’m going to give you the background leading up til now…this also ties in with the veggie growing and attempt at vegetarianism (have I mentioned that yet? that’s also on the list of things I’m “trying”…)

It’s all very exciting stuff. (ha?)

Stay tuned!
