I've really been in the mood to write lately but I've got so much I want to say that I'm overwhelmed by it and as a result I haven't written anything. Stupid I know. So I'm going to empty the inbox in my brain really quick so that I can focus on other things I want to spend more time on.
1. Lagoon. I've hated Lagoon for a long time. I'm not an amusement park girl. I'm a Disneyland girl. Lagoon is hot, crowded, and I don't fit in because I don't have tattoos, smoke, or wear a bikini top with a mesh shirt over it. Last summer though while I was in Cleveland I went with Will to Cedar Point. Which is a big deal. Tallest, fastest roller coasters in the US. I had a good day but I'm not sure Will did. I was a total baby. I was scared to ride most the coasters and the ones I did made me totally sick. I should've learned my lesson. But a couple weeks ago my roommate had really cheap tickets to Lagoon. I was determined to go and have a good time and not be a baby/snob. It didn't happen. I rode about three rides before I was staggering off of Colossus and locating the nearest garbage can. I tried to be fun and I just ended up sick. Its official. My roller coaster days are over. I always wondered why my mom insisted on being a party pooper, sitting under a tree with the stroller. Now I know she was saving herself from a day of nausea and the humiliation of public puking. (Note: I did not actually puke. But I was very very close.)
2. The Garden: I've rented a plot in a community garden nearby this summer. With the help of Rachelle and my sisters we've been feeling our way blindly through the delicate art of gardening. We planted peas, beans, watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, peppers, zucchini, and a pumpkin. I've had a handful of peas, and zucchini. Lots and lots of zucchini. More zucchini than I can eat. I suck at growing anything else. The lettuce was a major failure. A had a few peppers but they were kind of bitter. The melons and pumpkin are coming along ok. Everything else is really struggling. But the zucchini man...I can't keep up with it.
I've had some friends request I write my thoughts about being a single gal who is trying not to be a single gal...but I've been hesitant. I guess with my blog private I know exactly who my readership is and I don't have to worry about offending anyone right? What say you?
That's all for now. I thought there would be a lot more but I guess I've lost some of the zeal I thought I had.

i'm sort of hoping to make this the first summer since living here that i DON'T go to cedar point. i can't handle the stress of hoping i don't throw up on whomever i'm with.
Way to go with the gardening! I have learned 100 wrong ways to grow a tomato. Every one has grown different and every one has been flawed. cracked, black on the bottom, split open etc.
PLUS my onions are growing above ground, and my broccoli is three feet tall and fall over whenever the wind blows. Who knew this crap would be so hard?
Here's to a better garden next year!
And I vote for more posts. Pretty please?
Keep writing, please.
Also, I inherited a zucchini the size of Carson, and I have zucchini bread coming out of my ears. Good thing I likes it!

I would love some zucchini if you have extras! Bread, cookies, stirfry...it's such versatile stuff.
Speaking of eating...you know I eat up every word you write. Keep 'em coming. I urge you so. Urdso!
I am happy you're writing more and more. I'm trying the same thing on my blog. I really enjoy people who are eloquent, spell correctly (or even use spell checker...what a thought!)and have witty posts that make me think, laugh or cry. Those are the blog people I like. And you are one of them.
Good job with the garden! I really would like to garden next year. Our community garden is behind my ward. Maybe I'll try it. You may have to share your wisdom!
If you need something to to with zuchini, try looking up some grilling recipes. OH man! Glorious!! Or give me some!
