How My Garden Grows and Trekkies

I have to say that I am completely in awe of growing things..I know this sounds weird but I am. As I have talked about my garden a bit, here is an update. Since some of the plants that I had grown inside didn't seem to be doing too well outside (don't think that they should have been inside that long and I think that they didn't get enough water when I was gone for two weeks), I had planted some seeds about 2 weekends ago...exactly two weeks from tomorrow. At first I was a little worried that they wouldn't do well. It turns out that the area my garden is in is really muddy after a week where it rained a lot and I am not sure that plants grow well in mud. When I planted I put some potting soil in the ground and then the regular dirt on top. Forever there was no progress and now they are about 3 inches tall in some places. It is so bizarre...I swear that last night some of them were barely poking up and then today they were 3 inches....so strange. These look like they are staying pretty healthy so far so we will see. I am excited but will not consider the garden a complete success until I can actually eat something from it!

So, for those of you who are not married to or dating a geek, the Star Trek movie came out last night. Craig loves Star Trek and had talked about going to see the movie this weekend, thinking that if we went to a matinee it wouldn't be so bad. Since the movie theatre is across the street from the gym that I went to this morning, I decided to be nice and stop by to get tickets for tomorrow. This movie got like 4 or 5 stars from the NYT who seem to hate every movie so we will see. Well, movies hear are RIDICULOUS! It is $10.50 for a matinee!! And, there was a sign up that said "For all discount and promotion tickets there is a $3 processing charge" Seriously? To do what exactly?? Anyway, so I tell the guy I want the noon show tomorrow and he proceeds to tell me that it is in the Director's Hall (like I was supposed to know what that was) so I said "ok". Then he pulled out a seating chart and told me to pick my seats. Huh. Turns out the "Director's Hall" has nice leather, reserved seats and you can order concessions right at your seat so no need to go stand in line. And, what does all this cost you? $10 for the matinee so it was actually $.50 cheaper than the normal matinee..what? Oh well, whatever. I will be seeing the movie tomorrow and if it sucks, at least I will be comfortable :-)

Not too much else going on right now. I went to dinner with Lauren on Thursday and we had fun and she was easy to talk to. We both said we should do it again so we will see if that happens. I also went to the gym this morning but my gym buddy wasn't there...maybe in a couple weeks when I get back.

It is extremely windy here today and on the agenda is a trip to Columbus to go to the Crew game...should be fun. Tomorrow I will be weeding the garden (though there are not that many weeds really).

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
