The summer solstice is upon us once again and I am being one with the nature, sitting in my backyard, typing on my computer. Hey. It's the best of both worlds. The robin chirps, the scent of my jasmine plant fill my nostrils, and the bright gaze of my computer entertains my brain synapses.
I've been getting so much more into gardening so this little backyard retreat is the perfect place to relax on a sunny Saturday. For more info on my garden, check out http://serendipity-garden.blogspot.com. Yup, it gets its own blog. That's how obsessive I've been with it. That and my credit card bills of over $250 for garden crap like plants and mulch. I finally know what the purpose of mulch is!
Besides being overjoyed with my sense of productiveness, just the mere satisfaction of this little garden of Eden is enough. Everywhere I look is green or colored by some pretty flower I spent a couple of bucks in. There's also a blackberry tree, (as I now realize) in my backyard where this adorable chipmunk loves to munch from every day. It reminds me that I can find some natural beauty in this little sector of my universe. Granted it can't compare to Hawai'i.. but hey, I'll take what I can get.
This summer, I totally plan on not taking every sun-filled, hot day for granted because in a couple of months, I'll be back to wondering why the hell I came back to the mainland.
Oh yea, I'm back to having almost chronic bronchitis again. Gee, and I've so missed it the last 2 years.... :-P

Mad Money
Just watched the movie. Lesson relearned.. "When you get greedy, that's when you get caught." Not like it's a lesson I know from experience, mind you. But after watching countless movies and reading many stories.. you do notice this trend. Just like in this movie.. they began just to get some money to start with but then this one lady was so used to having a high lifestyle that she couldn't stop. And eventually, they got sloppy. Or a couple of them got sloppy. Of course, since it's a movie, all's well that ends well. But realistically, noone could get away with that.
In any case... the bigger lesson to learn is just to be good with the money you have. And if you have lots, don't spend it so blatantly cuz then people will be after you. :)
lol okay this is a rambling blog, but whatever. I just spent freakin 3 hours scrapbooking!
