Ah Pikdid Me Sum Wahturmelonz

Hubby and I have our first garden this year. It got quite over run with weeds and looks like hell right about now, but still, we've gotten some good stuff out of it. I picked my first watermelon tonight. It's yummy. Dan's gotten one tomato so far - the rest are just starting to turn red. We've got jalapeno's and chili peppers like crazy. The cantelopes are close. I think I'll probably pick one next week.

It's cool growing your own stuff. The watermelon is super-juicy and full of seeds like we used to eat before we all got so damn lazy.

It had been quite a while since I did any serious wallpaper hunting. That's so 5 years ago, right? Trouble is now that I'm sporting a good sized laptop with a 17" widescreen at 1440x900 resolution, my collection of 1024x768 wallpapers is a bit obsolete. I have been surfing through InterfaceLIFT for a couple days now and have gotten started on a shiny new collection of widescreen wallpapers. It's definitely worth a look - wallpapers are available in widescreen and regular screen sizes.
