Some random things going on here right now...
Kitten time:
Kitten time is whatever time in the wee hours of the morning that the kitten decides you have slept long enough and that it is time to jump up on the bed and play, play play. Kitten time was much earlier then usual this morning... shortly after 4am. I think. Kitten time is usually at the more reasonable time of 5:30ish. Closing the bedroom door is an option, I suppose, but that would probably result in more noise and drama (kitten wailing and scratching at the door to be let in) then kitten time itself.
Sad tomatos:
One of the two potted tomato plant on the back deck has two fruits on it, one of them is almost ripe. The other one has a single unripe fruit and a few straggly looking flowers. By the time I actually get to eat any of the tomatos from these plants they will be the most expansive (cost of seedlings + cost of big huge pots + cost of potting soil + cost of those wire mesh cage things to support the plants + cost of a bunch of other things that I have probably forgotten about by now) they will be the most expensive tomatoes that I have ever eaten... so they had better be damn good. I think that in the future I will just stick to buying those cellophane packages of tomatoes from the grocery store...
New phone:
My new phone arrived yesterday evening. Wheeee! I got the Pantech Duo. I like it a lot so far. Already, though, I think that the keys in the qwerty keyboard are a bit too small, and I would like a bigger screen. So I may end up upgrading to the Tile after all. However, given the fact that I have been using the Duo for all of a half day so far, I think that I will give it a bit more of a trial.
