Ok, so this is totally not related to my garden but man do I need to vent! I just have to get this out. When I talk to David it just doesn't really satisfy me, I love to have someone really get into it with me about it and David just agrees and that's it. ha! That's why I love having friends that are girls. It's so hard for me to find that one person I enjoy being around without them annoying the CRAP out of me as most girls do. I found that one person in Aubrey but she's been out of town and so busy lately with work and car trouble that I haven't bothered her. She would be ranting and raving right along with me right now if I told her and that's what I love.

Anyway, I'm just so irritated with Melissa right now I could scream. Not only does she look like a perfect saint that never messes up anything and always does everything right but she asks me for advice but never believes me when I give it to her. Like today, she asked me for a final title letter that states no mortgages attached. I give one to her and she critiques it and then starts looking for another one that SHE'S done. Like mine isn't good enough. It plainly states what she needs on there but no, she can't accept my work because she always thinks it's wrong. I am tired of the competition to see who is always best. I don't do competition like Melissa does and just wish we could work and go home each day instead of showing off and brown nosing.  It drives me crazy and is honestly making me not really want to come in to work. I used to really enjoy what I do but right now I'm feeling burned by the insurance deal (where Melissa gets hers fully paid for but I don't because my pay is too high instead of it being fair across employees) but then she has to go and make me feel useless and stupid. I sometimes hate what I do because it means I have to work with women all the time. I usually don't like that and wish that I could find something that I enjoy and pays good that I could just be solo on. Not have to worry about an office. I don't want to go back to school though and I don't like changing jobs honestly. I prefer to keep the peace and just suck it up and take it. It's not like the economy is doing well enough that I could just find a job tomorrow. I am trying to just be strong and have faith that things will improve. I just feel in a slum right now with work. I have no motivation and constantly feel like I do wrong. I hope this passes soon.

I was so mad when Tuesday morning I wake up to a light frost. No warning at all about this and so I did not cover anything. I just hope and pray the pepper plants and one of our trees will be ok.

They of course provide warning Tuesday night about a heavier frost so I definitely covered up my plants and Japenese Maple. They all did well I think through the frost by being covered. Keeping fingers crossed!!!!

I noticed some lettuce leaves coming up. They are still tiny but how exciting that something is growing!

Well today starts week 2. I am almost finished with my planting! I just like a tomato plant and my green bean seeds and I will just get to enjoy watching my plants hopefully grow!

When I went to plant my peppers yesterday I noticed something had already dug up 3 of my onion bulbs. I was livid! I don't know if it's pesky cats or my own son and a neighbor friend that love to throw rocks into the pond by the garden. Ugh. Anyway, I saw a lot of root growth on one of them and I hope that by covering them back up they will be ok.

I'm less anxious about my neighbors checking on me to make sure I'm doing ok with my gardening. This is a hobby and I'm just going to enjoy myself no matter what. It will be a nice flower garden should I not have a green thumb. ha!

We bought two dogwood (pink and white) Saturday at a going out of business sale at a local tree nursery. They are so pretty and well established already. We got them for $30 each! Not a great sale but much better than $80-100. Me and David planted those yesterday. I'm about planted out! HA!

Well this is my first week at getting my garden started. David put the dirt in my garden box on Tuesday and I planted lettuce and onions on Wednesday. I almost thought I would have to wait on the planting because me and Noah got locked out of the house! David took the only house key we had with him to work and then he had to work late. Luckily I was talking to my neighbor and he knows how to open doors with a license and he opened my garage door with it! Thank goodness, I was getting nervous on my planting because I thought it was going to rain. Which it didn't but still, how was I to know at that time?

Anyway, it took all of maybe 10 minutes but I got them planted and watered and tonight I plan on putting in my raddish seeds. I'm a little intimidated at the amount of interest my neighbors are taking with my garden. I have people asking me how it's going, what I'm planting, and giving me tips on how to plant and what i should do for rabbits. I just hope it doesn't fail.
