Zut Alors!
We are officially hipsters! Austin has made it into Last Poet Standing at our school, and completed his second round last night! It was the first recitation of their own written poems and while there were a few fun and well-written poems... most were awkwardly painful and contained dead grandpas, wilting flowers, sweat and silent tears, and strange incomprehensible mumbling into the microphone.
30 were chosen, 20 are left! Among them was Austin! I am such a proud wifey. For reals though, I cannot do what he does, and he is finally sharing his talent. His was the only one that was not rhyming-sing-songy, and not free verse. In fact, it was a villanelle for all you smarties!
Outside of school, we are learning to be savers and self-sufficient for good old LDS food storage and prepardness skills! (We are still having a juice every day, and we will attest to how awesome it makes us feel getting all those nutrients in!) Austin got us signed up for Sam's Club with the collegiate annual fee ($25 dollars folks!). He basically described the strawberries down there as voluptuous and for the same price hahahaha! I am looking forward to this. Except not so much the diction.
The most awesome part is we are going to start a tupperware garden. I read tons of books about small-box gardening outside, and container veggie growing... and figured why not one of those giant tupperwares with the same dimension and sunlight and water and everything? If these veggies can grow in pots indoors why not a few in a giant tupperware? We even had a few little other things to grow.
We hope to be getting in a few weeks:
Tomatoes
Spinach
Habeneros,
Garden Beans,
Carrotts,
Oregano,
Basil,
Parsley,
Christmas Tree (haha I know, but truly!)
Daisies
More Tomatoes
Petunias!
Tune in for our adventures as we see if this suc-seeds HAHA!
