Odds & ends...

... Mom is out of the hospital but has a doctor's appointment in a couple days. They have her on a cocktail of different medications which she is trying to get used to. But she's just happy to be home again.

... Hubby and his Mom will be going to Oklahoma for the weekend, so I'll be enjoying some quiet time for myself. Which means I'll be sitting my ass on the computer all weekend.

... I've got an A so far in my Algebra class, but it doesn't really matter since it doesn't transfer to UNT. I'll have to take the Accuplacer entrance exam and take College Algebra at the university. But, I'm staying in my current class just so that I will do better on the Accuplacer.

... If you've visited my artwork website this last week you'll have seen that I'm giving it a makeover. I never liked how it was put together the first time, but I was in a hurry when I made the first layout using a template. This time I'm trying to make it look a little more professional and doing the website layout from scratch. It'll probably change more than once before I'm happy with it (you mean a female changing her mind over and over?? Say it ain't so!) Anyway, it's in a state of (re)construction right now, so expect a lot of non-working tag attributes and "page not founds."

... UNT sent out information on a new art & design scholarship for new and transferring students. Cool. I've been working on putting together the application packet for about a week now, and I'll be driving it up to the campus today to submit it. Wish me luck!

... One last note, most of the garden has bit the green ghost. My last garden succumbed to squash vine borers, but this year since it was so dry I had an attack of red spider mites. They pretty much ravaged the whole garden, sucking the life out of every green leaf... all except the jalapeno and bell pepper plants! But everything else is toast. We are considering this year's garden a success however, because as Hubby noted we did harvest at least ONE fruit or vegetable of every variety planted, lol. Plus, we have a freezer full of tomato, zucchini, green beans and jalapenos. Overall my carrots and radishes came out decent, and I had one watermelon. I learned that I need to plant my watermelon vines earlier next time. Another unusual thing about them, my "seedless" watermelon had normal big black seeds... what's up with that?!? And then alas my poor pumpkins, unfortunately I don't think they will keep (without rotting) in storage for 3 months until halloween!
