Pregnancy woes

Sara has been feeling the nasty effects of pregnancy over the past few weeks. She has had to come home a couple times from work so she could barf her guts out. She is in the process of leaving convergy's because they just won't work with her wanting to work 20 hours. We waited so long for her to get a good schedule and now that won't work either. She went to see the nurse and they told her the baby is the size of an olive. I never knew an olive could cause so much trouble!

School has started back up again and I'm really diggin my schedule. My classes are Monday Wednesday Friday from 9:30-12:30. I have more credits than that but one is my internship which is a humungo paper due the 8th and then Fart symposium - such a waste of time. I did well with book purchases and selling this semester. I had to buy one book for 145.00 off amazon and that was a good deal. The bookstore is selling it for 188.00. To make up for that I sold a bunch of books and an i-clicker so we came out 20 bucks on top. One book I put on the tsc board last week because the bookstore website said I had the right edition. Then when school started 3 days later they changed the edition. I got 3 calls for my book and had to turn them all down. I was so mad that I came home and put the book on amazon at the cheapest price available. Then an hour later it sold! We got 30 bucks out of it after shipping. Seems like a raw deal except that it is a chemistry book which neither of us can even read. I'd rather take 30 bucks than 0 bucks.

At work my boss has had me help him out with some circuit board design. So far I've only made the board outline and component footprints but I think someday I'll get to actually help design the traces on the board.

Our sunflowers are going crazy! Each sunflower has reached 7 feet but then the flower got humungo so the head tipped way down. Now they are about 5 feet tall and about to break their necks. It looks kind of sad.

Sara "adopted" a stray cat yesterday. It was nice enough and would even let you hold it and pet it. But turns out it was really stray and a hobo at that because it sat outside our window last night meowing and meowing. If I didn't know better I would think he was trying to say some passcode which would magically open the door and let him come in. Anyway, this video is from when he was mister nice cat.

Camping, Garden Update, Tangly limbs, missing sun

This is our pumpkin plant. I suspected it was growing crazily so I measured it and it grew 22 inches in 2 days so 11 inches a day! It loves the hot weather.

Well it looks like all these pictures are in reverse order than what I had hoped. Oh well. There used to be this huge tree by our apartment that had really tangly limbs in the power or telephone lines. I have noticed it getting worse for a couple years and apparently someone else did too because they finally took the tree out. But the limbs were so tangly that they couldn't get them all and there are these logs hanging from the line up in the air. Very strange but funny.

Wow these are really out of order. This is our pumpkin that last post I thought I might have to carve with toothpicks. It's freaking huge now!

Our sunflowers have reached their full height of 8 feet and are just barely starting to tip their heads. It is a little annoying that when we walk onto our patio we pretty much have to shake hands with the entire family of plants which reminds me sara is pregnant due mar 26 because they guard the path.

he other day a bunch of smoke from the tooele wildfires blew into town and blocked out the sun (like I imagine it will be in the 2nd coming). This was taken at 5:30 PM. Sun should be considerably brighter then. It also dropped a bunch of nasty ash on the car.

We went camping last weekend. We had wanted to go for some time with friends but they were too flaky so we just went by ourselves. It was tons of fun. We didn't get the best campsite (yes that is the road 30 yards from our firepit) but we could get the car in and out of that site.

That awesome little cooler was our utility bench. It was our table for putting stuff on hot dogs, our beverage holder, and just about everything else. Very handy.

Mom and dad let us borrow their tent. It set up in like 10 minutes.

Getting a fire going went smooth on Friday night but Saturday morning just barely. We got it started with the last match.
