To Sprout or Not To Sprout

Well today was the beginning of our new adventure. My poor hubby did not get home until 6:20 this morning. With it being Valentine's weekend they have a full hotel and a busy dinner service, so he had to stay late and prep for tonight, which he is currently suffering through now I am sure! So at about 10:30am I woke him up, as the Penske truck place opened at noon and we needed to pick it up by noon for him to get back here and to work on time. Our mission was to pick up the truck, get to the storage unit, load everything from the storage unit into the truck and then back to the house all in about 3 hours. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! Although everything from the storage unit was just THROWN into the truck, atleast we don't have to go there tomorrow. So for day 2 of our new adventure we are getting up early and loading the rest of our stuff. Our mission... to have everything loaded and out of here by 3ish! (I am laughing out loud as we speak as I don't think this is even remotely possible)

Onto happier things... I have been reading other peoples gardening blogs and it seems there are tons of people that grow sprouts. Mainly Alfalfa and Mueng Beans. I think I like sprouts, I am not sure. I looked at sprout seeds in my magazines and they are kind of expensive. Any advice? I may try to grow them once I get to St. Louis only because I love when Anthony makes asian stir-fry from scratch. It is so good!!! We usually buy sprouts for this, but they always go bad so quick and the sprout bloggers say that doesn't happen when you grow them. I guess its worth a try.

Lastly, Kirby is on strike, he claims no one gives him any respect. As the eldest dog in the house he believes that NO ONE should lay close to me, near him or heaven for bid take his bone right out of his mouth. I have pictures of Maddie very carefully knocking the bone out of his mouth and than quickly grabbing it before he even realizes what has happened. I would post pictures but he looks like a killer and lets face it he wouldn't hurt a fly. (Truth be told he is mortified of flies!!)So his life continues with no respect, he grumbles loudy as if to say 'leave me alone,' but no one listens!! Poor Guy!

Alright, time for an early bedtime, as I have lots to load tomorrow!

  1. Happy Valentine's Day! I'm exhausted just reading about everything that you have to do. I hope the weather cooperates with you and you have a safe drive. I sent your box of magazines, so they should be there shortly after you arrive at your new home.

  2. Oh, I have never grown sprouts before, but isn't that what a Chia Pet has on it and they seem easy to grow? lol
