LPO (picture heavy)

(This is my first post using Windows Live Writer. Let’s see how it goes.)

I picked up my first harvest box yesterday. It really was a box, not a cooler as I had thought. That means no cooler deposit, so I’m OK with that. It’s a nice sturdy cardboard box with handles.

It included a packing slip and, of course, loverly produce.

I was feeling a little camera happy, so proceeded to photograph the contents individually:
GEDC0432
El Spinach
GEDC0428
El Chard
GEDC0427
El Broccoli
GEDC0430
Los Potatoes
GEDC0429
Los Mini Roma Tomatoes (notice the little green one?)
GEDC0431
Los Fruits – Pears, Avocados, and Oranges.

Don’t ask about the sudden spanglish, because I don’t know either.
I used the chard and tomatoes last night in a tasty gnocchi dish. Tomorrow I will use the potatoes to make a nice shepherd’s pie. Oh, and I need to whip up some guacamole with my 2 avocados. I think that can wait till Friday. It would go well with our brats and spinach salad. Or on the leftover burgers from this weekend.
I think one small box may only last us 1 week. (Wow, one and 1 in a single sentence.) (Completely unintentional.) The Medium box had a few things the small box didn’t get.  I will talk to J about trying the medium box, which might last 2 weeks. I also need to play with the site more and try the customizing options.
All in all, I’d call it a success. I’m looking forward to my next order already. That sentence almost had an exclamation point, but today is not an exclamation point kind of day. Today is a one and 1, sudden spanglish kind of day. If anyone wants to place an order, I’m more than happy to take you with me for your first pick-up. It’s in the back of the building, and you could easily get lost. I’m all sorts of “been there, done that” now. Go me.

I should stop now, before this post gets any crazier.

      Small box is $24. I already placed my next order and will pick it up Tuesday afternoon. You have until some time tomorrow to complete your order, which includes subbing out items in the harvest box. This week, I turned down the tangerines and added some yellow onions. Oh, and they just changed their name to Skarsgard Farms. It's the owner's last name.

In Need of Advice

-
Most of my local girlfriends follow me here, so I can ask for advice. I'm a messy person. I always have been. J knew this when we started dating. He knew it when we moved in, when we got engaged, when we got married. He still isn't used to it, and eventually we argue a little about the state of the house. I've never been very organized. I'm a stacker. I like to make stacks and piles, and then leave them there. Fortunately, I'm not a afraid of germs or dirt. Or maybe that's unfortunately, since it would probably help me keep a cleaner house. I see my friends' houses and don't know how they do it. Especially the ones with kids. How do you keep your counter so clean? How do you keep things put away? Another part of the problem is that I don't like cleaning. I mean, sometimes I actually say, "Oh, let's do some dishes. That sounds like the thing to do now." Sometimes. Other times I look at my dirty dishes and want to just throw them...

An Ode to Prescription Drugs

Oh tramadol, my tramadol, You ease my pain, But you set sweet sleep Beyond my grasp And make me itch *le sigh* Ok, so it's not exactly an ode, but it's what I got at 0611 when the migraine didn't go away last night. I took tramadol when it started to hurt. I had taken ibuprofen and it apparently didn't keep the pain away. I waited about 5 hours to take a second tramadol, since it says to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. Then I went to bed. I got this weird roaming itch. I think I've mentioned it before but don't feel like looking it up. I had trouble sleeping again as well. It wasn't as bad as last time, but I couldn't seem to just stay asleep. So I looked up side effects of tramadol. Mild itching is a common side effect, which explains the roaming itch. Dry mouth is another side effect, and yes I experience that. I just keep water by my bed. But this trouble sleeping isn't listed. I suppose it could just be the itching that's waking m...

Cleaning Update

-
I got tons of advice from all kinds of people, and it's helping. I posted that cleaning schedule on my fridge in a plastic sheet protector. I mark off the chores each day as I do them. I just started week 2. Week 1 went well. I did end up with a bit of a migraine on Friday and didn't get the master bath done, but I knocked it out this morning. I think it might work. For my "once a months" I'm going to do that thing on the week it's next to. So this week I pull out the movable furniture (couches, chairs, any shelves that are easy to move) and suck up all the dog hair that collects there. Some of the furniture, mostly shelves, is hard to move and will get done during big cleaning sprees. I would love to start doing a spring cleaning in preparation for Passover. I haven't even been able to celebrate Passover the past few years, but I'll be home for it next year and have some girlfriends who would be interested in coming. Anywho, the cleaning is...
