So I really sucked as a fellow blogger this Fun Monday. I only lurked once or twice and left no comments. I am sorry. Really, I am.
But I'm going to play the "huge pregnant lady just moved back from overseas to hot, hOT, HOT Texas" card as my excuse. You know what they say about excuses. . ..everybody's got one. Perhaps I should change my blog title to "Sabrina's Excuses" as that seems to be my main theme lately. . .
I am hoping to have more energy to at least lurk to see what's going on. And I'm even more hopeful to comment. I mean, cool stuff is happening out in the Blog-o-sphere. I mean, our zany Ukranians had a cookout/campout for pete's sake!!! Doesn't get a whole lot cooler. . .
So I can either wallow in my blog-suckiness or move on. My choice: wallow, as it sounds cool and relaxing and fun. Perhaps I could wallow in a trough of chocolate pudding. Much better than mud. Although I'll take mud if I can get lots of sleep!!!
But on to composting. A while back (no, I refuse to try to hunt up the post, sorry--wallowing over here) I started geeking out about all the "green" things I wanted to do when we moved back. So far I have my recycling to a decent level. Having some issues with the limited types of plastic City of Pearland will accept even at the recycling facility, but I guess I can either switch yogurt brands or. . . do something else. Brain. not.working.well. But in addition to settling up a rain barrell and tending my own garden (Voltaire, anyone?), composting was at the top of the list. I just hadn't begun that adventure. . .yet.
I hate to admit this, but when I was putting my feet up before my DH got home from work, I was watching the municipal access channel and saw that Keep Pearland Beautiful is having a FREE COMPOSTING SEMINAR this SATURDAY at the recycling facility at 9AM. And they'll be selling composting bins for twenty bucks! Whoo-hoo!!! Geekaroonie, here I come!
If you want to join me, pop over an e-mail or you can call KPB at 281. 652. 1659.
So this is the most excitement in my life right now, and that's fine because it's about all I can handle. Seriously.
Later today I am going to walk down to the corner store at the entrance of our neighborhood and buy a gallon of milk. Hold me back, people. Life is just waaaay too thrilling. This is, of course, a method of procrastination/escapism from the piles of junk yearning to be sorted throughout the house.
So that is all for now, folks. Happy composting!

dear sabrina. Wow! It's hot here too - going to be 32 degrees in a couple of days! I just can't believe it. I'm loving it, but hey, I'm not pregnant.
1) Wallow, sweets...you get a pregnant pass;).
2) Blogging is getting harder for me, too, and I ain't got no stinkin' excuses like moving back to the States from Ireland or being 48 weeks pregnant ... reading ... writing ... commenting ... whatEVAH!
3) It ain't easy being green ;)...but I'm impressed it's on your agenda...Compost geek (you'll have a lot of company in your bloggity community, trust me).
4) I can't believe I used the word "ain't" twice...:/.
I want a compost bin.
Okay - this is one of those times when My husband is able to say "I told you so"...
Before we moved to our current location, we bought 2 compost bins. I loved them. When we were in the process of moving, my husband went to get them and I said, "Don't bother." They were full of compost. "just leave them for the new people. We don't need them."
Oh now - 3 years later - words of my regret. I want those compost bins BACK NOW!!!!! (and my husband only smiles and know he was right for once!)
I've got a compost bin that's not in use- any takers!! I stopped using it when we had a RAT decided to set up home there.
LMM: That's quite warm with no air conditioning! Hope you are enjoying it!
Robin: Well ain't that a kick in the head! There, I used it again for ya!
Karmyn: Famous last words, right? Hopefully hubby will get you set up with new composting sometime soon
ChrisB: Rats? We don't need no stinkin' rats! I'll be sure to inquire about rodent prevention at the seminar!!
Wallow away there Sabrina, there's nothing wrong with wallowing, in fact I've made a lifestyle out of it. I'm even thinking of changing my name to Wallowtree.
At least you have a good excuse. I haven't really been commenting because I can't get my brain to think of something anyone might want to read!
I'm shocked at how fast my compost bin fills. And the bugs.. whew.
When I was Big and PG with number two child we had a four family garbage bin.
I went to dump garbage and millions and zillions of maggots fell off the lid all over me. I gagged an puked all the way back to the house and collapsed on the porch to continue gagging.
Looked up and the neighbor (elderly) was nearly having a heart attack thinking I was having the baby.
Hi there!
Just wanted to take a minute to (finally) welcome you back to good ol' Texas! Looking forward to meeting you one of these days!
Oh, and let me know how the composting seminar goes! Mike and I have been thinking about composting for a while now. Just can't seem to make the leap to actually doing it!
Again, welcome home!
Wallow Tree: Thank you for the shout out the other day. Still wallowing over here.
Bethany: You just stated my next excuse--the one I'll use after the infant grows up a little
Pamela: That comment needed a warning sign!!! Eeeew!
Heather: Thanks so much, chica! Looking forward to meeting you, too!!!
