little shop of horrors?

We have squash growing in the backyard, and the rate at which the vines grow truly remind me of the big freaky plant in "Little Shop of Horrors." I'm just waiting for Dixie to disappear one of these days.... Luckily, neither of us know anything about tending to a vegetable garden, so I guess it can just overtake the backyard, and produce squash (which I don't even really like) like mad. All I really want are a few tomatoes, but we'll see...I think the squash just might claim those for itself.

Honey's been out of town all stinkin' week! I'm going a little crazy. It was our anniversary on Tuesday (how has it been 8 years already???), so I'm ready for him to come home so we can celebrate...sushi maybe?? The girlies are also in need of a daddy fix in a big way. They miss him so much when he's gone! And I'll even give him an extra hug because I convinced myself Wednesday after I couldn't get in touch with him all day long (it was 11:45pm his time!) that he must have had a stroke and was stuck in his hotel room with no way to call for help (a stroke because I listened to an interview earlier that day on NPR about a brain doctor lady who'd had a stroke, who's written a book about it, and it was a real struggle for her to remember how to call someone for help once she'd had her stroke). Anyway, I guess I need to add listening to stories about people having strokes to the list of things I shouldn't do when somebody I love is far, far away....
