I’m a glass half empty kind of person by and large. I blame my parents for this because they’re glass-half-full people and someone had to point out the pitfalls. They would look at the ocean and say,...in time. They always do. But it’s good to be reminded that I have things pretty damn good and to be grateful for that.

I’ve been listening to audio books on my iPod at work. It’s a great way to pass the day and recently I listened to a really awesome book. Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku.

For those unfamiliar with Woot and their Woot Offs, every once in a while, Woot.com, which normally does one deal a day, runs item...the Vets.

I’ve been to Kiribati. I just found that out over the weekend. I did know I’d been to Fanning Island. I was just unaware that Fanning Island belonged to the country of Kiribati.

I can’t believe how beautiful my peonies are this year, especially since these plants just went in the ground last spring. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning and I get so excited whenever I go out and... isn’t it? And I hope no one is still on dial up. There were a lot of pictures here, but I couldn’t help myself.

Last year, I planted peonies. I’d had a tree peony before this, but no regular herbaceous peonies. They’re beautiful flowers and my mom has gorgeous plants which have left me spoiled. We tried to split... There are also a few peonies that won’t have flowers at all this year. Maybe next, though. I can hope, right? Originally published at Welcome to pattioshea.com
