Day 11

I'm still falling behind in getting my posts up for each day, but I'm going to stick with the challenge and get 100 posts up that are representative of 100 days. That's better than just giving up, right??

Went new car shopping on Sat! Walked away with a pretty good deal and will soon be picking up a cute new turbo diesel ride. Now, all that's left is thinking of a name for the new addition to the family ^.^

Date night with the hubby! We had great burgers at a cute little gastropub just around the corner from our home ^.^

Day 9

For a reason I have yet been able to explain or understand, there are bird nests on literally every tree that lines the road by my laboratory. Most of them are half finished and look kind of clumsy. Either the maker of the nest was dumped by his intended mate, or these nests were just failed attempts at getting it right. Maybe the view from the tree branches wasn't ideal. I just love trying to understand how a little bird can build such an amazing home with its beak and twigs. Compared to all the resources and measurements and heavy machinery humans use to build a residence, birds can do the same and even better just on their innate instinct. Bird nests are such an amazing creation and they will never cease to awe and amaze me.

Day 8

Watching Anthony Bordain cover my city and literally my neighborhood in his show Layover: Extra mile. My husband and I could not stop laughing at how honestly our city was portrayed in the show - the good, the bad, the ugly.

Day 6

Money is a little tight in my household right now and it seems like a lot of the things I enjoy doing need more cash than I'm willing to put out at the moment. One of my hobbies is gardening. To make up for the lack of cash, I've started experimenting with seeds I've saved from store bought veggies. About a week ago, I planted some bell pepper seeds just to see what would happen. Surprisingly, they've started sprouting!!! I doubt very much that I will end up with bell peppers, but it'll be fun just to see how much they grow and how big the plants become. My lemon balm and apple mint have come back for another year and I'm looking forward to throwing their flavorful leaves into some tea - iced and hot.

Day 5

The only way to a true Senegalian's heart is through his/her stomach. And lucky for me, I have a husband who can cook ^.^ Chicken gumbo!
