Thorns (i.e. nemeses) and Roses


I am not quite sure if I have the spelling correct for this one, but pretty much, I'd like to take a moment to make a list of things that are just not working with me lately ...

MOST WANTED (to disappear!)

1. ragweed. Where does this stuff NOT grow? If you live in a ragweed free area, I may become your neighbor for the rest of the summer. It hates me and my sinuses ...

2. garlic. I used to LOVE garlic. Now, it makes me puke. Literally. I think my neighbors have been roasting garlic and onion all day because I swear our kitchen smells like it and I haven't seen any garlic around here for a while (take that back - our CSA snuck it in with our basil and it sat in the fridge ... maybe I need to clean the fridge).

3. heat. Can it get any hotter outside? Oh wait, yes it can. Tomorrow it will be hotter and more humid.

But what kind of educator would I be if I didn't end on a positive note ...

1. I heart prenatal massages. Thanks Shaina for suggesting That's the Rub. Yes, it sounds dirty, but it wasn't ... I promise.

2. I heart my husband (even if he does say things like "How are those birthing hips coming along?" (as he pats my new extra weight on my thighs)

3. I heart when it is less than 90 degrees.

What were your thorns and roses for the day or week?

  1. Down on garlic! And ragweed. Gah.

    But - so thrilled you were happy with That's the Rub, even if it sounds like a happy endings massage place. :)
