My garden

There was more clay than dirt when I planted my garden today. I planted tomatoes, green chili, jalapenos, and onions. There is no soil here in the desert.

I am not sure what will kill my garden first... the clay choking their roots or the sun baking their leaves in the 110 degree heat.

However, I had to try. I wanted something to take care since there are no people around and I am not ready for a dog.

This way, if my garden thrives, my hard work with the pick, shovel, and hoe will have paid off. I hope I got a tan and I slaved away in a bathing suit top. However, I don't think I helped my cold/ear infection very much. I am exhausted now.

Well, if all my plants die, at least I got rid of those two random pieces of sod in my backyard. :-)

Ice Cream for Breakfast

I was too lazy to cook this morning and I didn't have milk for cereal so, I ate ice cream for breakfast. It was pretty good, Chocolate Chip right out of the carton. I didn't even dirty a dish other than my spoon. Maybe there are some perks to living alone and not having to share my ice cream with anyone.

Given up on true love: I want a husband

There was a survey cited on TV that indicated that more men are remaining lifelong bachelors. According to this survey...

"Eight percent who never want to marry, 62 percent want to marry, but half of them won't settle for less than perfection and about 30 percent who are on the fence." (http://www.ksdk.com/includes/tools/print.aspx?storyid=147538).

All I can say is, GUYS GET OVER IT! Women have been settling for less than perfection for centuries. Marriage isn't perfect. It is hard, and sucks at times. It is work everyday, and there are going to be more times than you want that you wonder if it is worth it. Both sides will wonder this. Marriage is what makes you work through it because your life is better with that person in it. That person makes you want to be better (most of the time). That person makes you happy (most of the time). That person is who you want to talk to or see everyday, when you are happy. It is really about what your life would lack without that person in it.

Perfection? Whatever, get over yourselves. It is because of this stupid survey and stupid men who are afraid to work that hard that I really have given up on "love". With odds like that... women again have to settle for someone who wants to be a husband. So... here it is. I have given up on "true" love, I want a husband, I want "real" love.
