Zoe’s Journal

So, this weekend was very eventful/busy/productive. On Friday night after work, I worked on my essay for my American Literature class. All about the sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards. I can tell you that I wasn’t very happy with the subject matter. But anyway, I got the rough draft done and submitted, and spend the remainder of the night catching up on the required reading for that week.

On Saturday we slept until 11 or so, then woke up to do five hours of shopping… we went to CostCo, Target, and the grocery store… ending up with lots of groceries to fill our dwindling larder, about 5 movies, some kitchen gadgets and other what-nots. That evening, we completely cleaned both bathrooms, and I even moved our ‘medicine cabinet’ to the closet and got rid of lots of old sheets and towels and stuff.

Today, Sunday, we walked over to the local greenhouse/nursery and came back with a very nice tropical tree thing, a cactus thing (to take the place of the bamboo I accidentaly killed last week), and a hummingbird feeder. We spent several hours in the backyard, raking up old leaves, picking grapefruit from a neighboring tree, checking on the status of the LotR’s ‘Earth Boxes’ (he’s growing tomatoes, herbs, and jalepeno peppers), watching the kitties roll around in the dirt, and mowing what little grass there was. Then I came inside, started the laundry, and bought thirteen books on Amazon.com (all of them classics like Middlemarch, or stuff by Richard Dawkins). Then I started to read a good book while the LotR cleaned our floors.

Now it’s 8:30 and we have both cleaned up somewhat. The LotR is grilling some steaks, and I am about to go eat them.

Ciao.
