And here we go!
Today we picked a ton of tomatoes. We got one big huge "Speckled Roma", three of some sort that I don't remember planting, but they look like a kind of black tomato, possibly a Krim, and a basket of cherry tomatoes of various sizes and colors. I ate one of the black tomatoes for lunch. Leftover chicken and a tomato. Tasty.
This evening I took the girls to see G-Force, the guinea pig movie. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and had a very streamlined plot. It was basically Mission Impossible: For Kids. But the girls loved it. The guys went to a Giants game in San Francisco tonight, so I thought we'd do something fun.
And we're off to a good start for the August Blog-A-Day. Now if I can just remember to write every day, we'll be in good shape!

Blog-a-Day in August
So, even though I don't think anyone reads this blog, I'm going to try to see if I can post something each day in August. Mid-way though August, my kids will all be in school, so I'll need something to do.
Maybe I'll use it as a brain-storming sounding board as I try to figure out what on earth I'm going to do with myself next year when they're all in school full-time!
And so, there you go. A post a day. We'll see if it goes anywhere. I might just spend all of August sleeping until it's time to pick someone up at the bus. Or I might get up and do something productive.

Seriously Chopped
So, my kids and I like to watch a show on the Food Network called Chopped. If you've never seen it, it starts with four chefs and they get a basket with mystery ingredients and have to throw together an appetizer using those ingredients in 20 minutes. Then one is eliminated, then the three make a main course in 30 min., using a different basket of weird ingredients, and then after another elimination, the remaining two go head to head on the dessert course. The winner gets $10,000.
The graphic as you come back from a commercial break is a cleaver chopping through the title of the show.
Last night we were watching a recorded episode, and my son very seriously asked, "If they lose, do they really get a knife thrown at them?"

A Boring Post
I haven't posted anything in a while. I wish my life was the exciting kind of life where I had lots of exciting things to post and cute and clever stories from my kids. But my kids are getting older now and the cute and clever things are few and far between.
I have a big long post about the bike race back in March if I could figure out how to get the pictures in the right order. Haven't figured that out yet.
I guess I could write about the deck we ripped out on Memorial Day, but I need to get the pictures off my camera for that.
And that's my unexciting post for the day.

A note on Adidas Deodorant
Well, since no one has said anything about this Adidas deodorant, I had to turn to the internet for information. I found this in a comment posted on Amazon.com (where you can buy it for about $4 a stick). It's from a response this lady got from the manufacturer.
"Please be advised that our entire collection of adidas® Absorbent Deodorants with Cotton Tech+ has been currently re-designed and re-packaged, which may account for temporarily low inventories at some stores. Although it does not state "aluminum-free" on the new packaging, please be assured that all adidas® Absorbent Deodorants are in fact aluminum-free. We are sorry, but we cannot accept any direct orders from consumers."
That might explain why you can't find it at the stores. I would still like to get some information about why everyone loves it so much. Does it not make your shirts turn yellow? And does it not make you sweat a lot?

Growing Up
Yesterday I took Ruby in to register for kindergarten next year.
She's getting so big so fast.
With her going off to school in the fall, that opens up a whole world of possibilities for me. And I'm just not sure what to do with myself. I'll probably get involved with the county's adult literacy program, which I've wanted to do for years. And I'll probably take the test and get the emergency teaching credential and sub at the kids' school. Then I'll be in a good position for the kids' school breaks, and it gives me flexibility with my schedule.
