Goodbye Veronica...
Beads beads, lizards and beads...
I never get drunk (seriously) cause its just not my thing (now, overdosing on chocolate, that's another story)...so I've never done any 'd-railing', but I found this very amusing...I will admit that I've bought some iTunes that I probably didn't need...my weakness right now seems to be Etsy...drunk Etsying?
Even I miss out...I tried to buy some beads but was told 'sorry'...ha...so, lest you think I don't know how you feel, I do know how you feel...
On a lighter note, I just ordered two Pirates Feast tix...you might recall that our local Alamo Drafthouse cinema does these great meals for high profile releases...we did the feast for the last Pirates movie and it was really tasty...the menu for this one looks just as good...neato!
The last episodes of Veronica Mars were on last night...I was so bummed out that I couldn't watch the second one...its waiting for me on my Tivo...and after reading various boards this morning. fans are still up in arms over the end of the show...I know it sounds silly, but I really liked VM and Gilmore and with them both gone, it leaves a big hole for me...imagine if Lost or Grey's Anatomy were just gone...off the air as of today...you'd probably feel the same way...anyway, I'm not holding out hope, I'm just moving on...
I do have very exciting garden news, tho...
While we've found a nice supply of small silvery garden snakes and some whiptail and anole lizards, we had yet to see any toads in the garden at all...at our Austin house, we were fat with toads of all sizes...families of them would show up under cardboard we'd left out to get wet and sloppy...but here, nothing...for 10 months...(wow, we've been in this house for 10 months?)...last night while taking the garbage out, I saw not one but TWO big fat toads hopping around...one in the backyard, one in the front...toads (and the other creatures) are a sign of a healthy, happy garden...they go where there's food, shelter, moisture and can enjoy themselves...I always wonder 'where do they come from'? were they just down the road, waiting? did they hop long distances to get here? did we bring them in as little toads in our plants? where have they been hiding? I dunno, but I'm glad they are here...
This girl is excited to spot her toad in her garden too...are we weird?
More later, I have to get some things taken care of...lets say I'll post these beads this afternoon? why not...

I would LOVE to see some toad pictures! :)

I haven't seen any toads around my garden yet. Lots of birds and bugs and lizards, but no toads or even snakes. I think I'm seeing rat poo though. Yuck.
As for your shows going off the air, it's almost like losing friends you've known for years! I understand...

I will do my best to get toad pics..it was dark when I spotted them, even in the very slight house lights, it was hard to see them clearly, but I'll see if I can find them at dusk tonight...
And thanks for bearing with my television show grief...I feel silly for being this attached to television shows, I don't get attached to shows, but I do remember when I was little and read Stuart Little, I cried when I finished the book (and don't get me started with Charlotte's Web)...I'm sure when I finish Harry Potter 7 this summer I'll feel the same way...when friends leave, its always hard to say good bye and when television execs unceremoniously dump the shows, its even more infuriating...

I know how you feel about the TV shows - I have planned my Tuesdays around Gilmore Girls for what feels like forever. Tuesday nights are going to be a little empty this fall.
