Not the First Tomato

I am fighting my envy. I was informed by a good friend today, that she had 12 tomatos on her plants! I am having to eat humble pie, with no tomatos to boot! I've decided that next year I too will build a greenhouse.
My only consolation is that she has promised me whatever vegis she and her family are unable to eat...Thanks, I'll take'm!
I 've noticed that my posts have taken on a new focus...food. Come to think of it now, all my dreams have been about food too...hmmm?

How to Eat An Elephant

This is the last thing I SHOULD be doing right now. I am using my blog as an escape from the 22 things on my "to do" list. My house is a pig sty, kids running amuck, important tasks left undone, and a test in my Gov. class tomorrow night! I know what I need to being focusing on...just don't want to do it! I realize the longer I procrastinate, the worse it is gonna get! So why do I do it? I don't know...?
I am reminded of my mother's wise statement to us as we would face the daunting task of cleaning our pig sty bedrooms when we were young..."There is only one way to eat an elephant," she would tell us, "one bite at a time!"
Anyway...I write this to share a real struggle of mine with you! I hate this about myself. So...pray for me as I pull myself away from the computer screen ,grab my knife and fork and tackle my "elephant". I hate elephant...I'd rather have pizza today!
