I planted an herb garden! I have 10 different herbs (rosemary, thyme, basil, mint, dill, stevia, lavender, cilantro, rosemary, and oregano). They are all doing quite splendidly, and I can't wait to cook with them!
I joined my local CSA. Reading The Omnivore's Dilemma made me want to stop shopping at the grocery store and buy only from farmer's markets or local farms. The CSA I joined has a pick-up location right across the street from me and is not a bad deal. About $200 for produce May - November! (delivered every other week, which is plenty for me)
I also now want to harvest my own yeast. As it turns out it is surprisingly easy. I am going to try it out in a few weeks and make a loaf of bread with it. I will let you know how it goes!
I only have 3 weeks of school left with my seniors. Yippeee!!! They are delightful kids, but I am ready for a break from them.
I am finally getting a smartphone at the end of the month! And thanks to Carrie and Shawn, I am getting an awesome deal on it! Now I can join instagram, navitage my way around town, and play games. (Let's be honest, playing games is what I'll probably use the most.)
I ate the best pizza of my life last week. Next time anyone comes to DC, I am taking you to 2Amy's and making you order the Margherita Extra. You will thank me.

I want to come eat pizza!
i want the pizza! oh how i love pizza! i hate thyme though, it tastes like dirt. $200 from may to november? that's awesome!
For the ignorant among us, what does CSA mean?
I haven't been to DC for 2 years. MTB and I need to visit and try the pizza!
Which smart phone are you getting? An android?
csa is a local crop share. i pay a local farm in advance and every week they deliver me a bunch of whatever crops they are harvesting that week.
and yes, i got an android!
yeast? That's one thing I haven't even thought about!
