"Focus, Baby Girl"

Baby Girl has found the television set. As a matter of fact, she just can't peal her eyes away. We discovered this when feeding the other day. She kept looking away from me toward the TV. It was actually kind of funny when she had the bottle tip in the corner of her mouth so that she could eat and watch the shows at the same time. Hmm...

I was hoping that it would be longer before her innocence was compromised by our current culture. Oh well, I suppose we'd have to face it some time.

Tomatoes: The Preparation

First of all, is it tomato or tomatoe? Tomato looks correct in the singular form, but tomatoes looks better in the plural. Hmm. Look at it! Seriously...

So far, not so good. I started by getting some tomato plants at Home Depot about two weeks ago. I prepped the ground around our deck with soil, manure (umm!), fertilizer, et. al., and sowed the plants. Much to my dismay, we had a historical cold spell that killed all the plants and almost got our hydrangeas as well.

Since the disaster, I've learned much more about tomatoes. Actually, I'm pretty excited that I get another chance to give gardening a shot.

Thanks to my neighbor, who introduced me to http://www.tastefulgarden.com/index.asp that sells heirloom varieties of tomatoes. Some of them are absolutely amazing. I never realized that tomatoes come in so many sizes and shapes.

Okay, so now I have cleaned out the holes with the dead plants and prepped them for the new plants. I am not sure if I am going to order from Tastful Garden's website or wait until they come to the Pepper Place market in Birmingham. Hmm. I'll keep the blog posted with the results.

Holiday Greetings!

Safety Razor Update II

Why would anyone be interested in shaving? Well, I tell you if you ever had a great shave (guys), you might understand. I have discovered that Feather razors are much better than Merkur brand. The Feather blades even shaved against the grain with no discomfort. Wow!

Also, I am a huge fan of Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams. I mean, other than my all time favorite Proraso shaving cream, I think Taylor of Old Bond Street is my second fav. Well kids that's it. Elton John is on TV and I don't want to continue this post.

Week Two

Well Mom and Dad (Wife and Husband) made it through our first two weeks with Baby Girl. We really count our blessings that Baby Girl only wakes up twice at night. However, even still early morning wake up calls are new so we're adjusting.

We are so proud of Baby Girls first accomplishment. She dropped her pacifier while sitting the the papasan chair and was able to find it with her lips, maneuver the paci, and suck it back in. We were amazed and cheered. I think she knew we were entertained because she did it again three more times. And... We cheered again and again. Hmm.
