Cous Cous

Some people may not know, some may not care, but some people realize the truth. Our cat is part devil and/or vampire. She starts by rubbing up on you. You think, "OH, how cute... how sweet." She's mesmerized you. You're falling in love with her. When she has you fooled she's purring, you're rubbing her, and she's cuddling up next to you... Then pow she's got a death grip on you. Her teeth are sinking in.. she won't let go. She has left deep gash wounds in your arm or wherever she could get a hold of. There are claw marks all over your body. And you are left feeling like an idiot, for trusting her. Yet, you will do it over and over again. She will continue to hold some type of power over you. She is after all your master.

Composting

This is a picture of our compost bin. Composting is not as difficult as I may have once thought. We have space for it and it's nice to put organic matter in a place where we know where it is-- not in the garbage being crated off to some unknown destiny. Composting is not as hard as I may have originally assumed. We just set up the bin and put our uneaten organic food matter in. Quick and easy. The only problem I have currently is that I'm not sure why we have a few flies swarming around it. It may be because we do not have enough matter to sufficiently stir it in currently. We may be missing brown matter. I will have to research and post my findings at a later date.

Summer concerts

Billy's concert series is over. Every Thursday night in the beginning of summer he participates in the Southern Kentucky Concert Band. I go, sit, listen, and knit. It is really a fun time for both of us. I wish they lasted longer!

I love our house!!!!!

Last November we moved into a new house. It is so awesome!!! I feel like we moved from our little apartment to a relaxing retreat. Coming home is really a treat. We live in the woods, completely surrounded by trees. If feels like we are in our own little world.

Burn out

This is how I feel.... Except I'm not smiling...

Knitting

I am at an strange point at this moment. I love love love love knitting. It is one of my all time favorite hobbies (and I am like a super queen when it comes to hobbies). I have so many it's hard to count. But knitting I love to do. I want to knit all the time. Right now my hands are itching to knit. However, my problem is I have no idea what to knit. Even though I have been knitting for a while, I have not quite mastered all the parts of knitting. (I'm thinking after I graduate I can take a class.) I would like to knit a kids sweater next.... I found a semi-simple pattern. I might try that one.

Hot Hot Hot (Air conditioning)

Today is so hot! Yesterday, the 4th of July, we noticed that our air didn't seem to be working. Today, we confirmed our air conditioning is not working... It's hot! Needless to say, being a holiday, no one is going to come and visit without charging a crazy amount. Mr. Beirman came and looked at it and said it may have finally given out... it may be dead!!! It's hot. He said this after I explained that two days ago I heard a loud pop and a hissing sound. I should have thought that meant something, but no one else seemed to hear it and I dismissed it. It's hot!!! At least we will probably get a new air conditioning unit if it died. It's HOT!!!!!!!!
