Enchilada Soup
Have you ever called out sick to work when you weren’t only to find yourself with a cold a few days later? Apparently this also happens if you blog about being sick to get out of running. The cold and flu fairies feel that your mocking them and out of no where you get sentenced…

I’m always looking for kooky planters for all my plants. I think this guy would be perfect for the office. He’s the IGrowbot from Urban Outfitters. I think he is much cooler than the Chia pets I’ve received as past Christmas presents.

Running Out of Time

Oil Spill in San Francisco
This Wednesday a tanker boat drove into the bay bridge and spilled over 58,000 gallons of oil into the San Francisco Bay. At this point they have only been able to recover 8,000 gallons of oil. But experts say that it maybe a lost cause as the oil that was spilled is heavier and almost…

A few weeks ago we went camping near the Oregon border. Along the Smith River they had this small patch of flowers. I didn’t see them anywhere else in the area and they looked so out of place. I think they are beautiful. Does anyone have any guesses on what type of flower this is?
