Today was unremarkable, and I have no idea what to post. So here is a picture of me using my cat as a pillow.

Monday is the only day I make it a point to watch TV. I end up watching TV plenty of other nights, but Monday's I don't want to miss Heroes. I love that show. And Chuck isn't too bad either. So after my run today I am on the couch watching TV.

Karyn and I got up before dawn on a Sunday to go watch our friend do the Benbrook Triathlon. She did good, but she's very athletic, so we knew she'd do good. Karyn got lots of awesome action shots with her fancy camera. Before the race, I was crazy nervous and sick, as if I was doing the race. Apparantly I'm used to being a competitor and not a spectator. I'm going to be horribly nervous when I do the tri in August.

Jon is doing a lot of work on his house too. Today we're adding some recessed lights to a hallway, adding an AC smoke detector, adding a switch, and rewiring this switch to be a double pole rather than a single. According to the internet, this is an advanced project. It took all day, and it was a lot of work, but we did it with no problems. I'm glad Jon likes home improvement, too. We discussed today how its so rewarding. We learn usefull skills, have a personalized home, have a sense of accomplishment, and save a lot of money. Where's the downside?

Today was a horrible day, so Jon took me out for ice cream. Cookie-doughn't-you-want-some. Yum. Lifts the spirits. So does Jon. :)

This is my garden. This is the first year I've had a vegetable garden, although I grew some tomatoes in the yard a few years ago, and I have a decent herb garden in containers on my front porch. Because this is my first year with a garden, I'm just seeing what works and what doesn't. I've already had broccoli and radishes and parsley, and it was all good. I also have potatoes, zucchini, peas, beets, carrots, okra, cabbage, corn, tomatoes, garlic, onions, lettuce, spinach, and cucumbers growing.

This is how I spend most of my day, on the computer. I work all day on a computer, and I usually get online a lot at home. At work I think of a lot of things I want to look up, but I have to wait till I come home. I don't think I have a lot of computer skills though. I'm skilled at using the programs I need, but thats about it. And programming classes in college were insanely hard for me.
