green thumb and Bonneroo.

I have become quite the green thumb as of late. I have cleaned up my flower beds for my 70+ bulbs (my mom counted) to be planted. The bushes in the front of my house had a blight so I dug them up. I guess I'll plant some more bulbs in there. Soon, I will blow all of the leaves into the ditch, plant some grass seed and powerwash the house. The herbs, flowers and vegetables I have started from seed have popped up rather nicely, especially the zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes. I can't wait to see what becomes of my Johnny Jump Ups and Violas, which have also sprung to life. Pretty soon, they will need repotting. Obviously, my new medication is working very well since, otherwise, I never would have had the energy for such things.

It's official-I'm going to Bonneroo. I bought my ticket yesterday. 3 nights and 4 days of stinky, sweaty fun on the farm, watching The Police, The White Stripes, Tool, Ween, Clutch, The Flaming Lips, Lewis Black, David Cross and a whole fuck load of other bands. $250 well spent. Hell, I would have just spent that to see The Police and then go home. But why not stay and get trashed, camp in a tent, use nasty portapotties and be around thousands of strangers as well? I can't wait. I still have no clue who I will end up going with, but I don't care. Jerry won't go because he has to take at least 2 showers daily. He said "Well, you know there won't be a whole lot of gay men there if there are no showers!" Renita said she will go, even if she has to use FMLA for her daughter to get the dates off since she wouldn't be able to otherwise. I am taking 2 days off without pay for this, but my mother is gung ho about me going and is willing to cover the pay I will miss because of it. Damn, I love my parents.

Other than that, I'm just doing the same old shit-knitting, watching the boob tube, hanging out at Union Jacks, although not so much lately-I need to cut down on my alcohol intake because of my gut busting the buttons off of my pants. And, I can't really afford it. So once or twice a week is about it. Just enjoying the warm weather before the nasty heat of summer begins. Right now, it's a roller coaster of temperatures-76 tomorrow, then 55 the rest of the week. At least it's giving the heat pump a break-and my wallet.
