this is probably the last harvest as the plants are starting to die.

should have waiting longer after dinner but not bad

i found this in the basement last week. If it only could update via a network it might be fun. perhaps i can find a project for this.

these came off two different tomato plants. i thought maybe they just needed more water. what should i do?

we are currently at the Buffalo Zoo. Using the estrip app to upload this pic.

first post from a droid phone. so far it is a great total.package phone. information overload right now :)

My Android based phone has been ordered (Motorola X). Tonight I stopped at the Verizon stand in the Galleria mall. It is so much more screen then I am used to now using the Blackberry Storm. I am not going to lie...it looks almost too big. Time will tell but I am sure I can get used to it.

I am also looking forward to using the estrip app. I might be inclined to post a little more and with more pics.

So Friday I finally got out the porch furniture and we decided to have dinner outside since the weather was so nice.

Steak, corn, left over cornbread and chop salad with a blue cheese dressing made from a Greek yogurt base.



Last night we made a dish I found in a Men's Health magazine. I can post the recipe if anyone wants it. Off the top of my head it was seared scallops over white beans, spinach, onion and bacon. I think the dish had something like 300 calories per serving (2 servings in the pic) but with super low fat and a ton of protein.



I was always so scared to cook scallops at home but they are very easy and tastes great.

Yesterday I dropped my work MacBook Pro off at the Apple store. My Apple Care is up in the beginning of February and I wanted to get 2 things looked at. It's hard to believe I will have had this thing for 3 years!

First, my battery said service soon. This is my second battery and the first one was not covered under warranty. I felt like they owed me a free one.

Second, my screen was getting some black blotches on it from what I thought was dirt and grime from the keyboard. Others have posted on the Apple forums that they were replaced under warranty. They not only replaced the screen but installed a glossy one.

I ordered the mate finish last time because I thought the florescent lights at work would cause a glare. I have found that to be false as more of my coworkers have glossy. Things look a bit washed out to me at the moment. Perhaps my other screen began to grow dim over time.

I have been in a work funk lately. I have been on a committee that has been consuming most of my time working with topics I am not even interested in. The past few months have not been all that great and I feel like it is starting to affect my personal life. I have not had a lot of motivation and I dread coming into work sometimes. Maybe it's time to shake things up a little.
