One of my 43 things goals (click on the "My 43 things" link to the right to see my goals) is to take more photographs. I also thought it would be fun to take photos regarding each of my goals I've set for myself. So, here is a photo of me accomplishing my goal of taking more photographs! I know... I'm kinda weird... but then again, I like me that way. Visit my photo stream to see more interesting photos I've taken lately. (Note: I can't figure out which I like better, Flickr or Zoto, but for quick photos I like Flickr and for lots of photos with the same subject [i.e. albums] I like Zoto. That's why in my links to the right, when you click on "My Photo Galleries" you'll go to Zoto, but if you click on "My Photo Stream" you'll go to Flickr.)

Come on. You know you want some. Everybody does. If you can resist these puppies, either you have some sort of weird gene that makes sugar hurt your tongue or you have the willpower of the Dalai Lama. I always end up buying a bunch and eating them all up within a week.

I was on the phone with my dad today, and he asked about my tomatoes I'm growing. He also asked about the bell peppers and why I was growing those. I said that we use them a lot, they're good sauteed with onions on hot turkey wraps, and we also eat them stuffed with taco meat and potatoes and topped with cheese. He just groaned... obviously he hates bell peppers.

Anyway, this got me to thinking... I've heard before that they're not all that nutritious anyway, and that pigs won't even eat them! So I looked 'em up (gotta love the internet!) Well, bell peppers do have nutrients, but they're not as good as broccoli, or lima beans, but they do have onions beat! And about the pig thing, it's not true according to this site about potbellied pigs.

My step-daughter... the bike rider!

Last weekend she was able to start and stop by herself, but she couldn’t do it consistently and she had not attempted to make a turn more than turning a corner. This weekend she has been able to consistently start, stop, and turn around in the street! She can ride a bike by herself now! Of course, she’s not going to be riding by herself, she’s still too young to be riding all by herself. I just have to get my bike’s flat tires pumped up, and we’ll ride together now! I’m so proud of her!
