I planted our garden this weekend. My in-real-life friend, Tracy, is also sharing our garden this summer. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, radishes, carrots, potatoes....we have lofty garden goals. Those concrete cylinders are actually used to protect the peppers and tomatoes until they get taller and more sturdy. Then we'll replace them with tomato cages.
I'm flattered that Tracy trusts me to grow her plants.
She'll either have a great harvest or 2 carrots and a tomato.
After I planted everything (the tires are actually the potato planters! More on that in a few weeks...) I snapped this photo to send to Tracy:
Without knowing it, I caught the friendly barn cat--he's now been named Roofus--checking out the pepper plants.
Tracy....if you don't have any green peppers, you can blame it on the cat.
Not me.
See this guy?
I know him.
Like, I know the actual dude in the photo.
We went to high school together.
(I'd prove it with my senior yearbook, but I can't find my senior yearbook)
Anyway....someone took it and made a meme with it. He discovered it and thought it was the funniest thing ever and posted it on facebook. We've been laughing about it all week.
Yet another reason to hide my high school photos. EEK!
see the entire meme listing here.
....I'd give it to my college so I wouldn't be stuck writing this grant!
Normally during my lunch breaks I write a blog post or two to "auto-upload" (is that a word?). As you can tell, I haven't done jack squat on this here corner of the interwebs for weeks.
Why?
Because my college has been chosen as one of 120 finalists to apply for a million dollar grant.
A MILLION DOLLARS.
Oh. Guess who's writing it?
Yep. Me.
No pressure! No pressure at all!
If you need me I'll be under piles of data, tons of e-mails and trying to make heads or tails of what exactly these people are asking us to give them. All for the hopes of being the ONE school who stands out and wins the big bucks.
Again. No pressure!
