The Pit Stop

Life in Motion

Biker Dude and I went out for dinner last night, and on the way home we HAD to stop at the store for a necessary item.

We were out of dental floss. I ran out of dental floss two days ago. It’s an absolute must that we have floss in the house. And of course, while we were there I had to pick up a few more items that we were running low on that I couldn’t run out of, like coffee creamer. I can’t stand coffee without cream. Also, I was out of cereal. I can’t be without cereal. I eat it every day for breakfast. These are essential items that if we run out, I panic. Oh, and bubblegum. I chew bubblegum while I write. It’s my crack. Without bubblegum, serious withdrawal symptoms occur and I can’t write.

What essential items can you not live without and have to make a dash to the store because you HAVE to have it? (Besides toilet paper, of course. That’s a given…heh)

Five Things

Books, Life in Motion, Play By Play Series

1. Still writing Taking A Shot (the hockey book), which is why you haven’t heard much from me, because I’m on omg deadline.

2. The weather here in Oklahoma can’t freakin’ decide what it wants to do. One day it’s 80, the next day it’s 50. I’m in between wardrobes. One day it’s capris, short sleeved shirts and flip flops, the next day it’s sweats, socks and hoodies. Come the hell on and make a decision already, Mother Nature. I’m ready for it to be warm, dammit. (rather cranky about this in case you hadn’t noticed).

3. The television season is wrapping up, with finales coming left and right. Survivor’s season finale rocked my socks off. Castle made me go ‘omg’. How I Met Your Mother made me squeal with joy and wiggle with anticipation for what’s to come in the future. I can’t wait for The Good Wife and NCIS tonight and the Grey’s Anatomy finale Thursday. What are you all waiting for?

4. My body needs to look like Giselle Bundchen’s by the end of June. I highly doubt this is going to happen, especially since I made a red velvet cake over the weekend.

5. There’s nothing more precious to me than my granddaughters. I miss them so much since they moved to California, but I got to Skype with them over the weekend. They’re both adorable, so must share this pic. I love my baby girls.

That’s it for me. What’s up with you?

Garden Progress

Life in Motion

It’s been a month since we planted our vegetable garden, and the weather finally started to warm up, so things are growing. Yay!

We have strawberries! Lots and lots of strawberries. Those suckers are trying to take over the whole garden, though. Will have to container those next year.


Our three tomato plants have grown enough to need cages.


We’re going to have a lot of onions! A lot more than are shown year since we have them in both garden boxes.


Funny story about our potatoes. All the garden sellers were out of potatoes when we went shopping, so we took some old potatoes I had around–you know, the ones growing eyes? Cut them up and stuck them in the ground. Voila. Potatoes growing like crazy in the garden. Yay!

The peppers and zucchini and squash and herbs are all doing really well too, despite some late spring frosts.

How is your garden doing, or are you just getting started?
