Both of you. I don't remember the transplant spot, going to check it out now.


And French Hen- I spent the day searching thrift stores looking for bottles to build an african bottle tree. Gotta catch those evil spirits!

Imp- I'm not irish but everyone thinks I am.

Lol. Everyone tells me that I look Russian even though I dont have any Russian in me that I know of. Oh and Spokane has a huge population of Martialese people and our county is like 23% slavic.

I think I"m goat rental girl. We originally got ours to clear blackberries. Now they live in our yards and keep the grass short.

I am not sure what one I would fit under.

A couple years ago I had the neighbor girl, about 11, come over and say "Russ I know your Irish, cause my teacher said all people with red hair are Irish" I told her to let her teacher know that This Norwegian/German/Swiss person had no Irish in him.

French Hen- I'd love to have goats, but I like my yard with plants, and they aren't legal here...YET!


Imp- isn't german and swiss about the same thing?

I've said it before. In Tennessee, we'd be "redneck" for how we keep our grass short. Out here we're "green."

I already have my goat area picked out on what we hope will be our new house (43 days of h*** left before closing, I am on pins and needles galore here). It's a great area between the road and the house with a million zillion blackberry bushes. I'm just going to fence that whole area off and stick them in there. Once I have goats, that is, and the house for that matter

I have never fit in as much as I do here in the Pacific NW. My brother in San Francisco saw my Keens and just about choked "you spent $100 on UGLY shoes?", then he saw my Chacos. I tried to explain to him that they can go in water, have great tread, and you can hose them off (or put them in the wash when they get really bad). At least the socks I was wearing with them kinda matched my clothes, I should get credit for that.

I was visiting my sister (in central CA) and she actually stopped and told me that it crossed her mind "I hope Angie doesn't mind that I didn't put on makeup to go to the store with her", then remembered who exactly she was with

We see people at the grocery regularly still in their slippers, me among them.

I am so glad the school year is over and I don't have to pretend to be professional anymore. I wear makeup during the week and not on the weekend. I actually don't have to buy any, I just get samples from the Clinique counter and those last me years!
