I start work at Target on the 30th. Which is perfect because I have some commitments to take care of before taking on this second job. 

Yesterday, my parents, Doug, and I celebrated my dad's birthday. I baked him his favorite: strawberry rhubarb pie. And it was almost from scratch (but not the crusts, still scared to try that). It turned out pretty good, but I think I used too much lemon zest. I also picked up this trick online so that the crust doesn't get burnt;  I used an aluminum foil cover. It turned out great!

Today I had work for a couple of hours and was really craving a sandwich when I got off work. So I came home and made a good turkey, lettuce, and cheese sandwich. Yum!

My flowers are still growing (sigh of relief). I need to buy some more planters and soil so I can get my sunflowers started. I also want to get patio lights and a trash can for our cans and bottles. Just spruce it up in general so that it can be a desirable place to hang out. I'm out there occasionally when I do my Bible study or when I'm reading, but not as much as I'd like to be. The other night Luna wanted to be on the porch and since I didn't trust her alone with my flowers, I grabbed a blanket and joined her in my rocking chair with a book. The full moon was rising over the Canejo Grade and it was just so beautiful. I want more nights like that, so I'm excited to fix up our balcony for the summer. 

Luna and I rested today. I haven't been feeling that well the past couple of days. Some sort of bug has been going around. She gets so cute when she's napping. When we were in my bed later, I woke up and she was sleeping on her back. She's so silly.

She also loves boxes. Whenever we get a package, or soda, or even my paper bags from American Eagle, it isn't long till she's sitting or laying in it. We always make this joke when she does it: (popular picture on humor sites)

Last game night we were playing Scattergories and she crawled into the box that was on the lower part of our coffee table, content in the middle of the group. Today, I got a package from Amazon with Almond Bark so I can make a treat from Pinterest. Surprisingly they didn't have it at Ralphs, so I just ordered it. I pulled out the candy makings and scooted the box towards Luna. She's been having a blast all night. I was finally able to get an okay picture of her. She tends to allude us in some of her acts. I still have not been able to record "the meerkat". Someday...someday... 

Daylight Savings is wrecking us a bit, so my internal clock is waaaay off. I should try to sleep a bit though.
