What is up with this weather? Last weekend seems like a cruel joke now. Its currently quite chilly, gray, and of course rainy. The sun did manage to come out yesterday off and on, but overall the weather is quite unpleasant.
We did manage to have a good weekend, however. Got some requisite weekend shopping/errands done, I started an herb garden, and finally vacuumed out the car. Speaking of vacuums, I don't think I've mentioned that we got a glorious Dyson Animal DC17. Yes, its called an animal because it practically is! Its an awesome machine and actually managed to get all the dog hair off stubborn Jetta apholstery. You know you're an adult when you get excited about buying (and using) a vacuum.
Anyway, back to my herb garden. It actually consists of four pots, not exactly a garden. My neighbor brought me a potted chive, which inspired me to get the rest. So I now have oregano, basil, chive, parsley, and thyme. I also bought two tomato plants (roma and something I don't remember). Now if only the sun would come out.
Right now they are inside due to the previously mentioned weather, but there is a cute little table by the front door just waiting for the honor of holding the herb garden. I left the pathetic little tomato plants (lets hope they grow, A LOT) outside for now, they seem to be doing fine so far. This is the first time I've grown such things, and considering my track record with house plants (not good), lets pray for a lot of sun and warm weather very soon.

We have the same vacuum, and were equally excited about it!
It is pretty gross to look at what it picks up on a weekly basis though... At least it doesn't overheat halfway through the living room like our last one :).
