my nemesis.
My nemesis has been taunting me for months. Sitting there on my nightstand with its dusty cover.
I’ve been meaning to read Roberto Bolaño’s epic novel 2666 for the last year and a half. I’ve started it a couple of times, but kept getting distracted by other novels. Pure laziness has also halted me, as this book is a hard one to read (this paperback you see here is just one of three that complete the novel). I’m determined though. Tonight’s the night. Take that 2666 – I will conquer you.
Also thinking about gardening. I planted a bunch of beautiful plants in our bare yard last year. Many did not make it. My flower beds look like this.
Why did they not survive you ask? Well, let me show you.
This little guy used our flower beds and any other new plant area as his own personal toilet. Next step, buy new plants, re-plant, and surround them with pug-proof gates. Our utilize Matt’s method – utilizing pokey pinecones as ground cover (it works, check out our thriving clematis).
I scrapped a little this weekend. I must say, scrapping has lost it’s fun recently. Sewing is much more interesting as of late. I think my crafty pages are showing my loss of enthusiasm.
I will end by sharing Matt’s unique culinary creation. Humalsa.
I’m not quite sold, myself, but Mateo loves it. And you all must try this salsa. Especially you, Jennie. It is quite delish.
