I managed....
to take out several thumb nail size flies in my work room's kitchen...I was very pleased. No more evil buzzing while you try to eat in peace!

I'll be back...
Well sports fans...I'm back finally after several finals and a move. I finally have a couple minutes for an update.
Well by God's grace I survived all of my finals. I definitely didn't have to stay up almost all night several nights to make it though them. Nope, not me. It was an amazing feeling to hand in that last final and walk out free as a bird.
After throwing some clothes in a suit case I headed out to Fall Creek Falls for a couple days to relax with my parents. It poured rain the whole time but I still got to go fishing so it's all good. (Okay, so I only caught three fish and my Dad caught like 20, but that is besides the point)
After that my parents and I then went out to Cracker Barrel with my lovely adopted family. Where we played checkers, ate good food and laughed. Amusingly the waitress decided to skip me twice since she didn't seem to consider me a child or adult...just what does that make you exactly?
I decided to stay in Knoxville till Sunday so I could see all my friends from church and bid them my goodbyes before moving back home. After which I came home and had to start packing my belongings. Amber and Kaitlin were amazing and helped me get everything packed up very quickly while the rest of the family helped me carry it all out to my car. (I think they were just trying to get rid of me faster :p) Well, the dreaded time of saying goodbyes came...I actually managed to delay an hour longer than I had intended to. Once I had finally managed to peel myself away from everybody I got in my car and headed towards Kingsport. (I definitely did not cry on the way home...me cry? That would be silly) I love you Mom and Pops and all the kiddos and miss you bunches!
So here I am back in Kingsport and have already worked some 30 odd hours at my new job in a local nursery. I have been given a position in the shrub department which has been quite a challenge. I know a lot about flowers but little about shrubs so this has been great. I love all the people I work with and my mentor is super sweet and helpful.
Anyway, I will go more into detail later. Now I am off to attack my house and clean it while everyone is gone. (I am very excited! I mean it!) I love cleaning when everyone is gone. Hehe, and the large pile of all my stuff in the hall way desperately needs some unpacking. So this is me signing out!

Gardening Blog Idea...
Well, as you all can tell my blog has not had a whole lot of inspiration as of late.
I have been contemplating about whether or not to write about different plants that would be great additions to your landscape and or landscaping ideas...(Considering that is what I am majoring in)
I would love questions about anything plant/landscape related. If you give them I will find the best answer I can for you. Believing in short and sweet posts I will end this post here.
But be warned I will talk about plants till you are green in the thumb.

Monster
Rule # 1 I have tons of homework...
Rule # 2 The best way to fix this problem is playing monster.
Rule # 3 Monster is very addictive with 8 laughing and running children. :)
The basic premise of the game is the couch is jail and if I catch you then I get to carry you (If you are smaller than me) to jail tickling all the way and several times after. Once in jail there is no talking to warn the fellow kids. Then the kids have to try and tag each other to get out of jail without being tackled and brought back to jail.
Since it is Not Me Monday I under no circumstances played monster for over an hour and half non stop and kept the children up waaaaaay past there bed time with no convincing. :p I definitely did not ignore the clock so this would happen. I did not run and jump around like a monkey after them roaring as I went and laughing just as much as they did.
Hehe, I have to say monster is one of the best games to play with all the kids and I had a blast. Shew...I am officially worn out, but we will definitely have to do it again sometime very soon :)
P.S. I am definitely not writing a blog post instead of attending to my homework.

Ummmmmmmm....
Suzanne is currently sleeping in a room with four Geckos and is beginning to think they are out to get her...
One of them is a crocodile gecko and made very angry hissing noises... I wonder if they eat meat because the tofu bribes aren't working!!!
