3 Tomatoes!
I have three small tomatoes growing now! Yeah for tomatoes.
I made some delicious chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. I know that most kids had chocolate chip cookies, or oatmeal raisin cookies. You people just weren't special enough to have my mommykins. We all hated raisins, but loved the oatmeal part of the cookie. So we would just eat around the raisins and throw them out. Or we would poke them out before we at them with our grubby little fingers. My mom HATED that. Her parents grew up during the depression and they just are not the kind of people who could allow stuff like that to happen. If you didn't eat the raisins b/c you poked them out or ate around them - you damn well better give them to someone else who likes them b/c you can't throw out food. There are starving kids in ethipia or sudan or something. So my mommykins made the best of both worlds by substituting chocolate chips for raisins; and they are amazing. I've of course added to my mommykins genius by adding pecans. Freaking delicious.
I just signed up for a glass blowing workshop this weekend. I'm really excited. I made a glass ornament before last Christmas at a glass shop in Corning NY - back when I was living in Rochester. It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. So when I moved to Boston I was super excited about the opportunity to have a glass blowing studio that I could take classes at that was close and I could go to... but then I started traveling and got caught up doing other stupid things. Last weekend one of my friends checked off one thing on his bucket list by going to motorcycle school. Now he can legally go drive one. I've never really felt anything about motorcycles one way or the other (other than the fear of having my brains on the pavement like that guy I saw when I was five.) But it reminded me that I have a lot of opportunities in the city, and I'm not really taking them, I'm just taking them for granted. So I looked up the school again and the class that I wanted to take was going to happen this weekend, and there were openings yet. Fate was with me. I'm going.
We also got information about Cambridge Adult Education classes. They are suprisingly varied and pretty awesome. There are quite a few cooking classes and workshops. They do everything from ESL, forgein language classes, how to get a job class, learn to swim or bike, literature classes, just about anything you can think of. I think it says a lot about the population. It's only like 100K people in Cambridge, but I bet it's a highly educated bunch that lives here other than the students. With the wide variety of classes offered, it seems pretty popular too. I think I might take a tapas class, or maybe a begining cello class. Violin might be easier to carry though... But the cello sounds way cooler. It would be fun. Though the classes don't start until almost October. It's kind of far away.
I need to remember to live life and not just let it pass me by. Start checking off the stuff on my bucket list.
