Intermixed in the week will be taking photos, plurking, and other various random things.  Boring, isn’t it.  And not fun.

All of these photos are from my trip to Phipp’s Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Pittsburgh, PA.

Work of Glass

Glass grows?

Catch anything in there?

A perfect drop of water.  Can you find it?

Look! More orchids!

If you’d like to see more of my Phipp’s pictures, or my other pictues, then just go here.

I’ve gathered that the theme this week for Photo Hunt is wrinkled.  So I found some wrinkled objects on my adventure this morning.

The petals have wrinkles.

The leaves and the flowers have wrinkles.

Look! More wrinkles - red this time.

Big wrinkles this time!

Rocky wrinkles.

Wrinkled clouds.

Do fish have wrinkles?  They’re in the water all the time.

Well, I’m really not all that excited.  I got yelled at at work today in front of the whole floor.  That made me sad and angry, which you know if you Plurk.  But I’m home now, talking to my guy, installing programs, and contemplating dinner.  (Tom’s having Chinese.  Sarah’s having mac’n cheese and hot dogs.  I want!) I got some good pictures today of the dog, but I don’t think I’m going to upload them tonight.  Maybe later.  Bad news: Tom’s truck looks like it has a broken head (since when did trucks have heads?) and its going to take about a week to repair.  That means no miles, which means no paycheck.  :(  That is very bad.  But, there is some good news - the company put Tom up at a hotel (motel?  What’s the difference?) which means not only can he take showers every day, he can even take baths! (Trust me, this is cause for excitement.  Tom loves his showers.)  I have Tom all signed up with Plurk, now to get him on Facebook.  And maybe LJ.  I definitely want him to see my sites.  Which reminds me, I need to track down the login page for my website.  I don’t have it bookmarked on this computer.  And I must check on Techievampire.  Darn, no update.  I’m worried about them.  Maybe I’ll call them later.  Yeah, when I get off the phone with Tom!  But I’m talking to Tom!  And that makes me happy!  Yay!

Good evening everyone! I’m sure by now all you loyal readers are just dying for a pic of my guy. Well, I now have one. This was taken in his truck on August 4, 2008. It was the last time I saw him that weekend and the last time I’ll see him until, oh, the end of September. Its really hard being apart, but I know he’s doing what he needs to do and I know that he loves God and me. He’s a wonderful guy and has done a whole bunch to help me become a better person. What else can I say? We’re still in that wonderful in-love phase (don’t know what I’m talking about? Check out Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages. We both highly recommend it) so there’s a bit of the rose colored glasses. But I know he gets grumpy when he can’t get to a shower and I know he has a tendency to fall asleep on me in the mornings when I call. He doesn’t always say the right thing at the right time, but then again,he doesn’t have to. We’ve both been hurt badly so we’re taking it kinda slow. Still, I’m very excited about this relationship. Can you tell?

Now, let me start off by saying that I have nothing against Texas.  I’ve been there and I’ve liked it.  I had fun there.  There’s just one problem - its so far away!  That’s where Tom is right now.  He’s taking a load to Pharr, which is at the far end of the tip of Texas.  We don’t know what load they might give him to get back up here - the dispatchers haven’t said anything about it.  *sigh*  I know, I know - I knew what I was getting into when I started dating him and helped to find him this job, but it’s still hard.
