Garden being used

What good is a garden if you don't use it? None at all. So when a friend came over to eat a bit, I decided this was the perfect time to start.

I mean a good sandwich has a lot of fresh flavors. So I went out to pick them, grabbed lettuce, chives, basil, mustard and swigs chard. I got one part of the sandwich cooking, and I mean cooking. It is in the oven with the cheese and deli meat on top of it getting all nicely melted.

Then it is all about layering the veggies and more on to the bread. Trying to get everything ready for when the hot melted side comes out.


After it is just putting them together and enjoying a great and quick meal. It is so satisfying knowing that the fresh herbs are all from my garden.

Best ideas can also be the worst

Let me tell you of my best idea gone bad. It all started with my bathroom floor. I hated it. It was stained from the start and was just ugly.
I mean this this is really stained all over and I never did anything to it. So for years I had covered it up with a blue rug. This went perfectly with my under water motif. After a few years it got old and well I needed a replacement.
That is when I stumbled across this lush amazing blue furry fabric. It is about the same price as my old ones but was just like 100 times better. I mean this is like Cookie Monster fur. You can't help but wanna run your fingers through it or in this case your toes!
So then it get's put in and it is just that amazing. The bathroom looks a world of a difference. The fur is so soft and feels great when half asleep. It really feels so go to walk on after a long day on your feet. So how did this great idea go bad?
Easy. It is blue FUR!!! It gets EVERYWHERE!
I am talking about everywhere. From my other rug, to my clothes, to stuck on me. I find myself constantly pulling off this blue fuzz. It is like I adopted a pet and it sheds constantly. I so need to invest in a number of massive lint rolls.
Sadly the pictures have gotten lost in the internet and changing of phones.... an evidence of needing to use flicker.

Cheating the garden

I am really proud of myself for how good a job I have done with my garden. So many have survived its amazing. I can even harvest it a bit!! Who would have thought? Not I truly. Yet other about half did not survive. I had 5 spots out of 12 needing to be supplemented.

So I thought I would just buy it. Really, do I need to harvest them from seed? I mean shoot. That was so confusing and hard to do! This way they all already have roots and are ready for the garden. I stopped at a store, a hardware store even though I had tried Home Depot. I walked home happily thinking about fresh salads.

So when I got home, I was really good and right away organized them into the currant pots I have. I figured out how I would place them. It was kinda a little math problem how many could go in each spot. What to do where. I even bought another chive since I had so few of my own.

Then it was about planting them and getting them waters so they would be happy. I gotta say a bit of cheating aka not growing them from seed is a BIG help!

The "SF" Guy Broken down

75 % Gay - These men are great to go out with and shop.
10% Bi - Basically a combo of a gay playboy.
3% Married & playboy - Utter jerk.
2% Sweetheart angel married - Lucky girl.
9% Playboy fratboy - Just want to mess around.
1% Goodboy free for any girl - Though note half of this one percent is already taken and the rest is free. Good luck finding him.

Getting laid in SF is pretty easy. They are gay or just want benefits. Its ok to be friends and go out with me, of course they want to "do" you; but somehow that doesn't mean we are "dating". That seems to be total BS, as isn't the definition of dating going out and doing things with someone your interested and physically attracted too? (Common SF female issue)

What's the end result? Don't date in SF. Do date outside of it and try online dating. Who knows its kinda better than a bar. Fyi I've lived in SF for five, yes, 5 years and NEVER dated a guy from SF. My current sweetie is so far from SF, its silly. My Mom rags on me for never dating within my city.

Garden Harvestivable?

So my garden grew as much as it could, until I realized I had something here a bit. I mean the parsely is ready and the lettece is too kinders. The sage has been doing well and its all just weird how do you know when any of it is ready?

I need to go and like buy started ones for the holes I have, it be nice to fill them in. Though in one something has sprouted I have no clue what but I am trying to encourage the little guy to grow and prosper.

The tomatoes are doing not so well. I am starting to think they liked my apartment. Which makes sense they do like heat and my apt is always warm. Ok yes ridiculously warm but I like it that way.

Styles of bras

Ok Ladies, I know that bra's are confusing so I am here to break it down more. What style you are going to need is going to depend on your shape. Yet everyone has one bra in common...The strapless. Yes I know its a pain in the arse, I myself hate shopping for this one. Its tricky, and often leaves lines or creates them a little. Yet for certain dresses we have to, so have one in your closet. Don't come running in last moment needing this. Just already have one, and be smarter than the picture... if you only have one have nude!

Now on to the rest of them. There are many versions but the majority fall into either with wire or without and molded or un-molded like the one below.
This is a minimizer bra, personally I am not a big fan of this style even if you are full busted. The reason being that it tends to flatten and spread you wide and low. Dropping your bust above the stomach and widen it. This hides and actually changes your shape. Hence why I am not a fan. I want to enhance the shape and give lift, but I do get the need for full coverage.
Which is usually what I suggest. I also tend to suggest adding in a molded bra. I know most are thinking well duh! Yet girls, most women a D cup or more often do not want to add more. They do not realize that it is padding that add more not molding.
Now this is a full coverage bra, you can see this by how high the cups are. This style works best for very full figured women and women who are shaped full and narrow. See how much of the breast is covered? This is a often more the work-horse t-shirt bra and is meant to be worn on a on going bases. Yet this shape is not always great for everyone and not everyone wants to cover up so much.

Honestly this is not a bra that fits me very well, its too much of a bra for me. Now I got a set on me, thank my Italian and Polish grandmothers. Even so I cannot wear this style well, I get air bubbles at the triangle points where the straps meet. I tend to do better in demi-cup and like the sexier look of less coverage.
Now this is a balconette demi bra. You see how flat the line is? That more of the top part of the breast is visible? This is because the weight of the breast is on the bottom and the sides. It is the underside that needs the support not the top. That is were the fabric and the stitching goes into. Obviously it is a sexier bra, this is an every day t-shirt bra so long as the fabric is smooth.
The other style of demi is the plunge. This style tends to work better on the women who can wear full coverage well because they are more narrow and full than heavy and wide. Again notice the lesser cup, the deep plunge. I am sure you ladies know that is for V-necks, anything with a deep plunge.
Then of course there are wireless bras. These are often the 24 hour comfortable bras. They work also well for women who are below a C and do not need as much support as a fuller cup. These bras of course come in different structures for more support or less depending on the type of fabric and molding used. Un-molded do not have as much support as molded. The type of fabric is also important for support to sexiness.

Obviously if you want to make the bra sexier you can add colors, lace to any of these styles and you will have more support or fun. Remember that you should have to have one finger in front, two in back with the band below the shoulder blades and no spillage.

Now get a good collection and take care of them!

Tip: Gel nails

At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Thinking how my nails lived or how they died. And then I tried and now I hold my nails high!
Why? Cause its GEL! This is amazing and I love it. Its like $30 bucks, I know expensive for just a mani. Yet worth it. The color does not rub off or leave marks. The nails don't chip. Its a manicure that lasts 3 weeks easily if not the whole month.
So choose your color wisely as your stuck with it. Then it is a matter of how much grow out you can tolerate. You can have them filled for like $20. It is your own nails underneath and mine pretty strong and long. See
