Hi everyone,

After enjoying a couple months of being unemployed, I have accepted a job, wooooooh :) It is with a mental health clinic doing mostly outreach therapy with an array of clients with varying needs - basically, I'll be gaining invaluable experience from working with clients as young as three to, well, gram :P I take the licensing exam this month which will provide me with LCSW credentials and ability to bill for a whoooole 50 cents more an hour! I look forward to sharing about my career adventures with you all, it is sure to be an interesting and challenging endeavor.

Its great to see everyone using the blog, I'm trying not to get tooo jealous of all the harvesting out there, someone said they have pumpkins! We've got about 6 zuchini on our three plants which are taking over my entire garden bed - a whopping 6ft by 2ft bed we built, time for an upgrade. We have 3 beets growing but I'm not sure when to pull them...any tips? We've also got a two inch pepper and some snap peas (which are hanging out into our sidewalk and I'm surprised at the respectfulness of the passerbys to allow us to enjoy our handful we get each week). We have two tomato plants, one with three little green guys on it, the other is a yellow pear shaped tomato - lots of flowers, but no tomatoes yet.. KC and I hit up the farmers market down the road to supplement, wish I had acres to plant on!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July and I can't wait to see you all in a couple weeks at the reunion. Any ideas of what to bring to the auction? I may attempt to make a zuchini something..bread perhaps.. Oh, and who all is going kayaking on sunday? I've already informed my mother she is absolutely under no circumstances allowed in a kayak, she can take all the pictures she wants, but no kayaking!

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO SAHARA! (Big 25?!)
